I love the look... you need 1960's industrial eyes to appreciate.

I happen to have one in for service at the moment... Will add my subjective review when the work is completed... (I made a decision to not hear this legend until it's working A1). This will be the first time I've had the use of one in my own system.... known quantity.. known acoustics etc. I'm so hoping it won't be a let down to not just meet a hero but get to know him.. at least for a few days before it has to go back to it's lucky owner.

Should try an Sta -15,the Gz34 rec gives off more heat to keep your room warm and it sounds nice too.[had mine since 1981] Mick

Strangely enough, all those years ago when I swapped Tannoy 12" Silvers for the STA25, I could have had an STA15 instead. We tried the two amps together and could not really detect any difference, I went for the greater power of the 25.
I have a pair of Quad II's as well, GZ32's in those, could run them to add to the heating!

A lot of the modern day '34's are not up to the job,definately recommend a Mullard in there .Just my experience-plus I rest easier not worrying the rec is going to fail and poss taking out the mains tx
