Illuminati (2nd Degree)
I had to look back to see how long since I built her: Winter 2003.
Classic push-pull 2 EL-34 per side switchable between 40 watts pentode or 16 watts triode.
In triode the soundstage just floates in the room while losing none of the pentode's low distortion characteristics.

Ella has several important parts upgrades which put her in the class of the Conrad Johnson CAV-50 and ARC Classic 30:
TKD volume control mounted at the rear of the chassis
Auricap output caps (the pic is pre-Auricap)
Choke-filtered PSU
Schottky diodes
Kiwame resistors
Vampire RCA jacks
Triode/Pentode NKK silver contact switches

Included tubes are 4 brand new JJ/Tesla E34L,2 brand new JJ/Tesla 6DJ8, 2 Svetlana 6N1P with about 200 hours on.
Ella has individual bias adjustment for each output tube and massive output transformers so she will run 6550's KT-88's and KT-90's
I'm after another amp design which requires $1000 worth of just the transformers so Ella is for sale. Wish I could afford to keep her and build the Ongaku!
Payment by USPS Money order or Paypal
She weighs 40 pounds in her original box with manual from zip code 44907 so figure shipping costs accordingly.
Check my feedback on Audiogon where I'm known as Kitch29
Price: $700 plus shipping
