These are easily convertible to Pentode Tom.
I had the stereo version of them with my Reds/Tom's GRFs and it was a great match, these would be even better I suspect.
I did seriously consider buying them from Steven myself about a year ago but with my RAs they drive really well off 8w of SET (and even better from the 18w of BP I now have) I didn't know that at the time and it took a lot of arranging to hear
These really are first class, GLWS

Given recent chat about kt88 octets and wanting to try a valve amp, time for a bump.

Wow. I'm very surprised these have not sold. They are truly gorgeous. Great price too.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

If adey had a money tree he'd have these without thinking. But like most folks I have a finite playpot of money and as i noticed a slight problem with my Allaerts cart decided that getting it sorted (expensive and drawn out) and buying a replacement cart was a direction i had to go in. My Cary's are long in the tooth and in need of a service though they sound great - my original plan for this year's playpot was to have them serviced and buy amps to do stand in duty - but without a cart there would be no music.
Being who I am I couldn't just buy a make do kind of cart while the allaerts is away and ended up with the Miyajima because Hugo had it on offer. Of course this has led to a search for a SUT. None of this was the plan before Christmas. Had the allaerts not needed a look at there would be 2 fantastic shiny amps in my system right now.
In perpetual pursuit.
