Nait 3 all day long! since you can buy and sell with little to no loss, i really think you should at least try one. (OK, dismounting soapbox now.)
or a DIY gainclone lm3875
a bit more money would be my sony es 707
Very much so. I wouldn't give one houseroom. A £20 chipamp is better.Audiolab 8000a - yes I was browsing ebay last night and lingered on one of those, though again not something I'm familiar with. I've got the feeling that it's a bit marmite from memory of discussions I've read before?
I've never owned any Naim gear. I'm sure it's good but it looks like I'd also have to buy a bunch of new cables so the cost would creep up further. Maybe one for the future.
Early Rega Mira/Elex looking like a definite possibility, if I can find a good one. Sony ES also possible.

Lots of options, it might take me a while to decide which way to leap!
Luxman L-210 vintage (no remote, with MM phono) about £150. To my eyes a lovely, smooth-sounding jewel of an amp.
I have both somewhere...
Yeah that's pretty good innit. Located in Italy but a business seller so perhaps ok?One here going cheap from Japan http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5...0001&campid=5338728743&icep_item=272942206506

I ought to try and translate the description before getting ahead of myself
It's a 220v amp though so I'd need something to drop the voltage, a bucking transformer or other, right? Maybe better to wait for a 240v example.
