    No. About £20 if I recall. I bought a dodgy set. That's why I have one with 'issues'. Nowt wrong with it otherwise, but as the other one is fine. I've not bothered to buy decent new valves.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    My one has the fancy mu vista valve in it. has to be soldered in, but lasts for a very long time and doubt I will wear mine out. You can also get an upgrade kit

    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!”

    If you are buffering and looking at interconnects then perhaps a speaker or amp change would be of more benefit? Source amp and speakers have most of the influence from there it is fine tuning.

    Hi Neil, i was just wondered if it was best to use the same type of interconnect to and from the buffer. I did end up with a yaqin sd-cd3 buffer and another pair of Geoff's klotz mc5000, I'm very happy with my set up at the moment

    I really wouldn't worry about the interconnects, aside from keeping them short, makes sense to use the same interconnects on the input and output.
