Can you clarify why you took it back off the purchaser? Was the amp faulty in any way?

Thank heavens for that I've being "uming" and "ahing" about this for months.
Well I've had several ... V20, 509 monoblocks, 899 (very similar to the 534 but with an integrated front section like the 8L6, only with balanced option), 861.. and heard a few others in my system including the 534 and 859. My preamp is currently a 912, the best preamp I've come across to date on my travels and a real keeper I believe.
As for the 8L6 - you'll love it. And fantastic to get it freshly serviced.
