Thanks Abe,
My Manleys were used and came with 6CA7EH tubes. From an exchange with the good folks at Manley it seems early versions were delivered with EL-34s, but after some reliability problems they switched to the ElectroHarmonix 6CA7. I'm not certain but current production may have changed back to EL-34s again?
Anyway, pleased to see your positive remark about the EH.
Over the years I owned a Dyna ST-70, Marantz 8B, and Music Reference RM-9 so I had basic familiarity with the EL-34 sonics. But these Snappers are more extended in bass and treble than I remember those earlier examples, while maintaining that pleasing mid-range.
