I don't know whether this will become my main amp, or at least my most used one. I bought it when a friend flagged it for me because I've wanted to own an EL34 amp for years and the price seemed so attractive at $1195 plus $35 shipping. And now another $74 for the single 6NS7 plus shipping.

My main amp was a CJ Premier 11A, but it might not go back into this system for awhile, at least not without an A-B session. I do love that amp, but the ST-70 is singing with my easy to drive Devore Super Nines. I'm sure it's not as great a match with many other speakers.

Thanks again for all your great advice.

A 6CG7 could be used... - 1973shovel 09:09:23 04/03/23 (4)

Would that be easier than just replacing the driver board with the VTA Octal one? - JoshT 09:14:27 04/03/23 (3)

It would certainly be "easier" from a physical labor standpoint - 1973shovel 09:53:40 04/03/23 (2)
