I bought an assembled TRK3488 on Agon and it is a very nice amp. It came with Kiwame resistors and I changed the caps to suit my taste. I prefer 6550/KT88's in it but I have not tried any EL 34's other than the stock Shuguangs. It may not be the best of breed but it's a keeper and sounds way better that it should for the money. A well designed single ended pentode amp sounds excellent. There are similar commercial amps out there and several small builders that are well regarded.

The review is long winded but accurate.
