GBP £408 VR-70E  EL34 Triode Connection - Lim Ail Leong Signature This is an upgraded version of our popular GBP £250 valve amplifier. I appreciate some people have bad experience of upgrading equipment. Please can assure you by saying ........ We are one of the few people who can say ......... Bid on the eBay listing of our GBP £408 upgraded amplifier and we can lend you BOTH versions (but you have to pay extra shipping cost) (and we have a lot of stock) and you can decide for yourself, if my upgrading improves the sound (or not) and if the improvement (if any) for even more realitic human voices even nicer cymbals even better and even more bass (for BIG speaker. Waste of time checking bass with 6 inch speakers) is worth an extra GBP £158 YOU CANNOT GET FAIRER THAN THAT !     The 'Buy Now' price is GBP £3000 because I am trying to make a point that our Upgraded VR-70E - EL34 Triode Connection - Lim AIk Leong Signature (beware of fakes) will EASILY beat GBP £600 to GBP £3000 valve / tube amplifiers GBP £100 to GBP £100000 hybrid transistor and valve / tube amplifiers GBP £100 to GBP £100000 'Class B' or 'Class A' transistor amplifiers GBP £100 to GBP £100000 digital amplifiers or 'class D' or whatever the latest class fad is or MONEY REFUNDED (less shipping cost. equipment returned during 1 month home trail.)   The valves are Triode Connected, which make  human voices sound 50 percent to 5 times more realistic (depending on how fussy you are, and how good or bad are your speakers) than 'Ultra Linear Connection' valve amplifiers or MONEY REFUNDED (less shipping cost. equipment returned during 1 month home trail.) There are 6 pieces of Silver Mica capacitors of the CORRECT value in the CORRECT location. 4 pieces of silver Mica capacitors act as ultra sonic filters for better square performance and even better reproduction of cymbals. Cymbals are guaranteed to become expensive musical instruments, and not something invented to annoy Hi Fi enthusiast, just as long as, you do NOT over load the delicate tiny 1 inch dome tweeter, (You need a 'Lim Aik Leong' notch filter tuned to the main resonant frequency of the tweeter,) (will keep more of the human voice out of the tweeter, and enable th tweeter to go louder ) or MONEY REFUNDED (less shipping cost. equipment returned during 1 month home trail.) 2 pieces of SIlver Mica capacitors help to improve the 'push pull' balance at ultrasonic frequency. This make the top + bottom half of 10000 Hertz square wave more symmetrical. The EL34 valve are Triode Connected. This reduces the power to 20 watts + 20 watts which is MORE than enough for any SMALL 6 inch  speaker or BIG domestic speaker or BIG studio monitors or MONEY REFUNDED (less shipping cost. equipment returned during 1 month home trail.) When buying valve amplifiers for HUGE (bigger than 6 inch speaker) 'difficult to drive' speaker, you must IGNORE the CLAIMED WATTAGE of the valve amplifier ! Some 'automatic bias' valve / tube amplifier claim to be 35 watts amplifier, but can only produce about 3 watt of bass at 20 Hertz with 2 percent distortion Please see figure 7 at http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/205prima/index3.html                     ( 5 volts x 5 volts divided by 8 ohms equals about 3 watts ) SMALL 6 inch speakers are TOO SMALL to imitate / reproduce HUGE 22 inch kick bass drum or HUGE 32 inch Timpani ( so, do NOT blame the transistor or valve amplifier ) ( if the bass is lousy ) SMALL 6 inch speakers are TOO SMALL to fill HUGE 20 foot room with LOUD music, unless you sit 6 feet from small 6 inch speakers (so, do NOT blame the transistor or valve amplifier) ( if small 6 inch speaker cannot go LOUD )
