    Thanks mike....claymore as a pre is right up my street,the usb dac is by far and away the best dac ive tried.

    EWA power amp might be my next step-claymore plays nice with the 57s,dont think the EWA power amp will be anything other than a noticeable upgrade.

    I'm thinking of a four letter word right now..... And it isn't 'nice' lol

    I'll bring Ali's Slagle Pre Amp along as well as my TQ Claymore ( I have a specific reason for bringing it ) I've also made arrangements with Colin to have a look at my Mark II Claymore so I'll be in attendance, IF I'm allowed out for the day, my request forms are in just waiting on them being stamped 😁

    No problem Colin, plenty of willing helpers. I'll put some long interconnects on the amps so we can easily swap.
