@jusphish. Fast and easy. Just as described. Deal with in confidence.

The Amps for sale are not the bijou MusicMaster as that was only built in a stereo chasis but Class A Masterclass Monos in the original cases. I still have my pair.

Thanks to Chris Marshall. Kit as described. As new condition. Very smooth transaction

The question that you could please help us all with is about serviceability. As you were the service agent for 6 years and additionally know all about valve amp designs, can they be serviced if they need it? What % of ordinary box speakers in the market over the last 30 years are above 94dB? I...

With their build quality I cannot see why a valve specialist outfit should not be able to service them. Mainly discrete componentry well laid out and accessible.

I should also recommend a Graaf 13.5 B11. Black fully balanced in and out and my mate used mine into his active ATC's and then wanted to buy it!

Sounding even better than first impressions. As it is adjustable and doesn't need the additional expense of a SUT it has a great performance /price ratio. In a medium to high performance system it allows the TT front end to shine.

Anyone tried the Phono-1 MkII? My Mrs. loved it and thinks that the small form factor and design are a bonus at about 20% of the size my other black boxes. Her description was "clear and detailed". 8 gain settings and 8 load settings underneath to match it to a wide variety of cartridges...

Which Raidhos? Photos please.

As with most things is in not also a question of what you already have and are used to, what you would need to shift to buy something new and any resultant loss? All feature in your buying decisions. For most with no equipment and a healthy budget starting to-day would suggest a streamer front...
