    Hi Nigel,

    I think I'm going to hang on to it for now. You're right it is a very good tuner and I think I'd regret moving it on. The box count is a little high though just now. Never mind

    I recently bought a variac. Thanks Geoff / walpurgis

    I picked it up today from my tech chap who has done a lovely job casing it. Now the Yamahas can get the 220v they need. I'm delighted with it.

    That looks excellent Paul. I wondered if you'd put it to use. Glad it's working for you.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Thanks Gary. Hard to believe but it's the first amp I've had with VU meters. I must admit I like the retro look of the amp. You're right it's class A - 30 watts/8 ohms.

    Default Finishing touches

    Decided it was time to upgrade my somewhat basic cabling. I thought that given the Luxman SUT has a silver transformer, I would get some silver cables so I bought this lovely arm cable from Yannis Tome with KLEI Copper Harmony plugs and he also made me a matching interconnect to run from the SUT to the amp. Topped it off with a pair of Chord Epic Twin speaker cables. Thrilled to bits with the system now. Could well be journey's end.
