Best EL84 SE amplifier?

[audiowize]

I ordered a JBH EL34 amp once. Such hot garbage that AliExpress gave my half my money back. Let me know if the printing on the big power supply cap is at least legible now rather than just smeared gibberish.

This was too tempting, so I ordered one. Should be here any day. Have you had any reliability issues? I got the schematic from the vendor, and it shows that the screen grid is at 270v while the plate is at 260v. I don't know too much about this, but I thought that would lead to premature tube death.

No issue so far. I ordered mine without tubes and put my own selection of tubes on it, including the robust Russian version of el84

Thanks! Good to know that your amp has worked fine. I also have some Russian 6p14 I plan to use. I have added the schematic in case someone more knowledgeable than me want to comment.
