    Hello,
    Yes, I am fairly new to valves , but have always admired the look of the Ear equipment, and read alot of good reviews , but never ventured into valves, until the last year.
    Like everything else, it`s all subjective and it`s a case of weighing the goods things valves do against the good things transistors can do and overall , I am beginning to like valves more.
    My transistor amps could sound impressive but ultimately can be fatiguing, I certainly have longer playing time with valves, , quite often my sessions are 3 to 4 hours long [ wife permitting !!!], I could never do that with transistors.
    Though on some of my recordings , I do miss the crunching Bass , especially as my speakers go deep and taut, though as I said , overall , I prefer valves.

    In my opinion Hours of listening it depend by the amp (valve and transistor doesn't matter), more from the speaker, and even more from the match amp/speaker
    With this amp you get the tight bass of the transistor and the liquid mid treble of the valve
    Maybe, but maybe, you could loose a bit of the speed of a top transistor

    Have never found any of Tim's amps to be lacking in speed.

    Also, can you advise when it was serviced and had valves replaced and do you still have a copy of the receipt/letter from Ear.
    Plus you say a spare set of valves, I presume these are the old ones that have been replaced when it was serviced, so I presume they should only be used as a stop gap if something happends to the new valves.
    I am fairly new to valves, I am 57 years old and got my first turntable when I was 14 , but up until the last year , I had always been transistors.
    I did demo an Icon Audio PS1 MK2 MC phono amplifier and a couple of MB30SE mono blocks and on certain material they sounded quite good , but were limited in the type of music they sounded good with, IE it had to be fairly simple well recorded records, but the mid range was great, but the treble was mushy and the bass too loose for me, so I am hoping the Ear with 50 watts push pull class A will be better.
    Plus I have recently purchased a noteworthy Phonote MC phono amplifier which seems alot better than the Icon Audio phono amp , though I can only play it through the headphones since I dont have a main amp, so it hard to tell how much better.
    Anyway, hopefully I have asked you a few questions.
    Cheers
