Obtained for reasons of nostalgia, but amazed how good it sounds!
Interesting write-up in Vintage Knob who are also clearly impressed.

Rightly regarded by some as a precursor to the ES range.
This is fast and focused and detailed.
Those who want to wallow in a lovely rosy vintage glow should look elsewhere!
Absolutely superb condition as you can see from the photos. A few tiny marks.
PWO as far as I know, although I haven't tried the phonostage.
!!Purist Alert!! - slightly modded by a previous owner to provide decent, modern speaker binding posts rather than the naff original springclips (which are still there).
£125 plus £15 UK courier - or collect Glos GL17.
This model was my 1st ever hifi amp, way back in the day. Hence the reason I have it. Re-visiting my long lost youth.
Why sell? - I simply have too many amps!
