Yarland FV-34B-S Class A amplifier tube Integrated amp EL34x4 HiFi audio 2 mode

My new YarLand FV-34B-S Class-A EL34 push-pull amplifier is playing beautiful music as I write this review. The amplifier arrived here in the mountains of Western Panama a few days ago, and the 120v to 230v step-up power converter/transformer - also from China HiFi Audio - arrived yesterday. I picked up the converter this morning, and like the amplifier, the packaging was excellent. After the long journey from a Hong Kong warehouse to Miami, Florida, USA to my remote mountain town in Panama, both packages arrived in excellent condition with no damage to the boxes or their contents.

After I unpacked the power converter today and connected everything, the system worked perfectly the first time I hit play on the streaming source. There is no hum or hiss from the speakers when no music is playing - this amplifier is dead-silent! And when my favorite guitar music is playing, it sounds extremely clear and natural - just as I expected.

I have been an audio enthusiast for over 60 years - starting with vacuum tube components in my high school days before transistors and solid state consumer electronics were available. This YarLand is the most beautiful vacuum tube amplifier I have ever seen - and it provides beauty, performance and musicality at an incredible price! I look forward to many evenings basking in the glow of the vacuum tubes and listening to music.

The communication and customer service of the people at China HiFi Audio is excellent. Thank you for helping this old audio enthusiast assemble one last system so I can truly enjoy high-fidelity music in my retirement.
