A fair few of those big Sony ES Integrated amps are well regarded. I had the 700ES not that long ago (Jamie here has one too) - A nice amp. I'm soon to receive another Jap heavy weight integrated and looking forward to see how that will measure up

Hi Guys
Is this amplifier respectable enough to get done this one needs a new volume pot "ALPS" and internal cleaning and is apparently working on both channels with source direct on but the volume pot is very erratic. Here's the big but do i need amplifier number 11?
What is the current retail value if i was to sell one on in OK condition but not perfect.?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Lol - not too long now Andy. It's being properly sorted and overhauled. Lets just say glue and black flags being removed amongst many other things before she's ready for me to receive

The answers to your first two questions are "NO" and "Hell No".....
These lumps of rubbish aren't worth the postage it costs to ship them, but as an act of goodwill, I'll pay for a courier to deliver it to me, and I'll dispose of it safely for you. The WEE directive can be a minefield you know....
