Love those switches !
They look like you raided Action Man's kitchen and nicked his cooking pots and turned 'em upside down :D

There's a tidy BD1 just listed on ebay if anybody is interested. These little decks punch way above their weight.

Found this Little Bear MC2 passive pre-amp waiting for me on my return from hols.

I figured it was worth a go at a mere £26.95 from ebay, free post too from China: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MC2-Fully-.../292091442510?
I thought it might be suitable for use with the Quad 306 power amp. It is. I have it wired up and it sounds very good. Bargain!
It comes with RCA and balanced inputs and outputs.
Does it support fully balanced connections? I would have thought to do that it needs to have four potentiometers - I can only see two, but since the PCB is double sided, I could be mistaken.
Got four pre-amps now. A VTL Deluxe I've had for many years, a very sumptuous sounding valve job, with an amazingly good MM phono stage (not tried it with the Quad 306 yet). Then there's the Moth Series 30 mentioned in the last post. Next, the recently purchased and dirt cheap Little Bear MC2 passive, which works just fine with the Quad. Lastly and by far the best sounding, the MingDa MC-9 TVC unit, which has amazing sound quality.
The big number of times I've met that MingDa :D
