I'm Simon.
I've just finished the upgrades to the amp channels. I refinished the paintwork on their cases as well, it was looking grubby and marked. I'll pull the transformers out tonight and fit the new ones tomorrow, then i'll tidy up your psu cases as well. I'll give it all a listen and a good soak Thursday and probably drop them off Friday if you're around?
I'll stick you a set of Mark's acrylic front panels on as well, it irks me to see a Paradise without correct faceplates.

Yep, your probably correct. I'll be thinking of you whilst listening to the Paradise transcribes my vinyl and taking a sip of my favourite 18 year old single malt.....

It's not needed any settling in. I can hear a massive difference already. I really do need some time to adjust myself. The valve system has never sounded so good. I can't wait to do some low level listening tonight with some Jazz and my favourite single malt. It just sounds so effortless, I have no idea what you plonked in their but it's been worth the money.

The group buy is just for the psu parts and boards, minus mains transformers. I hadn't thought to offer just PCBs. If that's what you want add your name and a note to that effect.
