Offered for sale, an Audio Innovations EL34PP integrated. This is a sweet, sweet, ultra musical amp that packs some wallop thanks to a chunky 35w in push-pull, and even has a pretty decent phono stage. Plenty of scope for valve rolling too as it takes EL34, KT77, 5881 and probably others as well.
These are pretty special in standard form but this one has some lovely boutique bits added (though no changes to the circuit):
Mundorf Silver/Oil caps at the output
Clarity caps in the phono section and volume stage
Noble volume pot
Tantalum resistors in key spots
Elma silmicII electrolytic caps and Mills wirewound resistors at the cathode
Schottky ultra fast diodes in the psu
Looking for £500 for this, collection only from Reading area.
Fitted with a lovely set of Sovtek EL34s and a full complement of very low mileage AI driver valves.
