Magnavox PP EL84 Amp question


Just purchased one. Up and running , sounds good. Bare original chassis. I have 4 MapleShade ISO Blocks lying around. Should I just put a screw through each of the four holes in the chassis into the ISO Blocks and call it a day? Prefer people with experience with this amp. Very limited discretionary income.

I had a Magnavox console-pull two channel tube amp ( 12ax7, pair of 6AQ5's and an EZ80 rectifier). Single-end and 3 watts output per channel. A bare-chassis which I just placed on top of another component. Fun to play with! Not as good sounding as my SET 2A3 Sanei 560A (all Tango iron)! All those Magnavox console amps had cheap and puny transformers - good iron is hefty and costs a lot!
Your PP EL84 (6BQ5) will do about 12 - 15 wpc. And will have a bass response dropping off at 50hz (small output trannies). It will work well with a high-sensitivity speaker like a Klipsch Heresy. Also will match well with a speaker having a powered woofer (Golden Eagle Triton).
