Hi Les,
I've just read this thread(yes, I'm just a bit behind with my reading), and wanted to tell you how happy I am for you that you have a brand new Mini Torii. I just received my new MT about 2 weeks ago! I'm just THRILLED with the performance of this little jewel out of the box! My tubes are: JJ EZ81, Raytheon OC2, GE 12AU7A, Tung-Sol 6V6GT(Made in Russia), Russian OA3. These are the stock tubes and it sounds fantastic!! I play mostly LP's on a Linn LP12 with my old Marantz Imperial 6-G speakers. They're 93% efficiency so I have more than enough volume to blast the walls down(I use 6 or 7 clicks on the attenuators) I would be very interested to hear your opinions of the Mini after having yours for ~10 months now. Enjoy!!

It'll include a pair of 6L6's, 6V6's, 12AU7's, some tube regulators and some reliable EZ81's....I had 3 different set's of JJ EZ81's fail on me before :/

Myers, FL	Re: Mini Torii arrived today Reply #6 - 07/09/13 at 12:11:00 Hey Tube Nut, The Mini is a fine amp...but tube rolling is subjective and system dependent...so with that said...try a pair of RFT EZ80's...very nice and not expensive. The new production 6V6's are very good and I'm not sure chasing NOS is worth the effort. I do have a pair of Pope/Philips 6V6's that I like though. Les

SE34I.3 versus a Mini Torii?

It seems that a Mini Torii has a better chance of taming a bright high end (due to tube rolling and the treble adjustment).

But does the SE34I.3 some better (all things being equal)?

Also, will you save money on replacement tubes as the MINI Torii tubes are reported to last much longer.

Any comments?
