    I've got a Cambridge Topaz AM1, Pioneer A300 and Rotel RA930AX. If you know of a cheap carrier I can do one of those for £45.

    The AM1 is sweet and transparent but doesn't have a phono stage or headphone socket, has poor volume balance at very low level and needs easy to drive speakers. The Pioneer and Rotel are old classics and lack transparency compared to the AM1, although they're more flexible with speaker choice.

    Brand new.
    £15 delivered.
    Yes, I know it sounds crazy, I have one in my conservatory and it sounds great and works fine.
    It's a decent little chip amp.
    You'll need to get a 12V/5A PSU to go with it - another few£.

    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!”

    Similar to the above ideas: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SMSL-SA-36A...&keywords=smsl

    Can't fault them; have one in our man shed/powerlifting/strongman lock-up running B&W 602 S2 speakers and it plays MORE than loud enough!

    I'd rather a TPA3116 based amp, fair bit more power if needed.

    Cased ones start at about this price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIFI-2-0-S...-/332287293515

    I'm running a TPA3116 amp in to BBC Rogers LS3/6 speakers, it works very well.
