1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34


Picked this up inexpensively to try on my Klipsch Quartets or Chorus 1s. Do not know much about vacuum tubes. I have recapped many ss amps but this is foreign to me. Seeking any and all advice on various nuances. 
 

I have a significant amount of silver coated copper wire encased in PTFE, was considering replacing the wiring. Have not opened it up yet so more to come based on what I find. Thanks for any feedback.

I have a slightly bigger chinese tube amp (Willsenton) running Klipsch Cornwall IVs and without having any tube amp to compare it with I find the combination very sweet. Just yesterday I played some music I hadn’t listened to in ages and again it was sonic revelation. If I had any knowledge whatsoever about wiring, soldering, etc. I’d probably also have a look under the hood. So far I’m happy finding out how far rolling tubes can bring me. 
Enjoy this adventure!
