I didn't connect it yet , but I find this simple circuit in the net , it's a vu booster , will connect it in the output of the preamp via a high resistance value , because I don't want this circuit to affect the preamp output ! .

Komarov use transformers with trash military technologies. It transformers for power, are not suitable for sound. Do not tell lies about gorgeous performance.

Just finished my first amp build. More Photos
With solid state amps I always felt the bottom end was too transparent (if that makes sense). Basically no matter how the bass freqs sat in a mix these Tannoys would make it sound good and clean. As soon as you played the track on another pair of speakers or in the car the bass would be all over the place. After a few days listening to my new amp with these speakers I've found they reproduce the lows more accurately now. Actually I think everything sounds more accurate. I've been running it UL mostly. There's definitely a tube characteristic (warmth) to the sound, but I like that.
The Tannoys were designed for near-field monitoring, and don't have too much lows to begin with. With the SSE, you are probably hearing a bit more lows as compared to the SS amps, since the lows are less damped. As long as you are enjoying the sound, that's what matters.

I actually do use them as near field monitors in my studio although I've never totally relied on them. The picture above is actually in my dining room right after I finished the amp. So far I am enjoying the sound, but I still have a lot of different settings to live with and a few tubes to roll.
A couple of my latest creations. A poweramp and a preamp, former running 6550 or KT88 in single ended triode, the latter has a bunch of ECC88's. I made the preamp just because I wanted a remote control after all these years running between the listening chair and equipment rack to adjust volume.
