    I don't know if it's within budget but there's a simply stunning audionote power amp for sale on here at the moment - with in built volume control.

    "Nick, Think carefully and do some proper comparisons because your Sonneteer Orton is a very nice amplifier."

    Good point Dave. I enjoy the Orton immensely.. My original plan was to buy/audition a valve amp alongside the Orton for a while. Just out of curiously really. My other system is a Naim Unitilite which is very punchy. I enjoy it immensely. My thinking was to try valves in my vinyl setup for a completely different experience.

    My bad, statement retracted.

    Thanks for your input and ideas everyone.

    Decided to hold off for a while while i do a bit of research on this valve thing. My Orton Amp is still very much to my liking so in no hurry.

    Meanwhile i've done a little upgrading of my front end. Just purchased a Tron Convergence MC phono stage and a Grado statement 2 Cartridge. Should have them up and running this week

    Those Tron Amplifiers do look rather special too though!

    Stop press. I dropped into my local dealer to listen to a few versions of the Audio Note OTO today. Oh dear... ended up buying the Signature... amazing thing!

    So I will be listing a few items for sale...
