Hi,
I have never tried an el84 amplifier, and quite fancy scratching that itch.
Any recommendations or comparisons?
Thanks

Quad VA-One. A lovely amp with an inbuilt DAC and headphone amp worth the price on their own. You get a free amp !!
EAR V12. Depending on budget.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Had a couple of WAD 84’s. Great little amp.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

For the majority it's adequate and if you are into digital, the DAC is excellent. You can pay 5 x the cost of this amp just for an inferior DAC.

Leak Stereo 20. No better example of a classic and great sound too.
