    It's essentially a single input power amp, but it does have a volume control and a gain stage so you can just use it as a single input integrated if you like. I used it for quite a while with one of those 4 way rotary phono selectors like this

    Actually reason why I brought it up is that I'm quite a fan of Single Ended Pentode. My favourite Unison Research amp is the Preludio which is also a KT88-family single ended design. I bet this sounds super.

    A good price for a very nice amp, I've owned a few Audion amps over the years, all of them excellent.

    The reason I've kept it this long is because it sounds great and I'm fairly loathe to sell it to be honest. But over 3 years of inactivity is too much

    That's true. It might sound wonderful, but it's not a SET.
