In a recent conversation with Kevin Hayes he mentioned the VAC Auricle Musicblocs can be rewired to accept EL-34 tubes. I'm seriously considering having this done. Less power output, but with my speakers that should not be a problem. I was very tempted to buy one of the RM-10 MKIIs that came up for sale recently. In hindsight I should have.
