Mmmmh, I thought the whole point was to 'scratch a valve amplifier itch' rather than the predictable change to another Linn amp to match an elderly set of speakers?
Opportunity missed?
Yep, that was the original thought but following a lot of the posts here I've decided to put the valves on the back-burner for a while and concentrate on the front end. The LK140 came in at under £300 so was a bit of a no brainer plus I can trade in the LK85. Once I have moved on up to the P8 then I'll revisit the valve idea but it looks like the Sara's are difficult to drive so I might need to look at upgrading everything down-stream of the TT.
