what’s the valve amp, think I can see some EL34 at the back?

It’s a PrimaLuna Evo 300 pre. Since I took that pic, the matching hybrid power amp has arrived;

The two glowing blobs from the heaters indicate those are dual valves. When I mistook it for a power amp I wondered if they were dual triode outputs (something like a straight-sided 6AS7G or even a 6080). But they’re actually 5AR4 rectifiers.

Thought it was an integrated with no power amp

You’ve got better eyesight than me as I can barely see the glow

Looks good, try and track down a AD1865-K and you’ll be surprised how much better it sounds. Swapped one out in my old AN 2.1x Sig and it was a big improvement.
