Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Re: EAR 869

The 869 is effectively a successor to the very long-in-the-tooth 859. The 859 can’t be upgraded (as far as I know) as the 869 has bigger transformers, etc to get the extra 2 watts from the same valve compliment.

I had the 859 (factory built – it was available as a kit too) and found it very competent, but under-whelmingly so. The Art Audio PX-25 was SO MUCH better in nearly every respect.
