    Does the TVC work well with your power amp?

    Very well Lawrence. I'd tried a number of passives, up and down the food chain, with no joy; much preferred actives, until now.

    I've been wanting to try a TVC for a while, but I've made a few fairly expensive mistakes on the pre front recently and didn't want to risk another £500. So, when this came up, it was a no brainier.

    Matches perfectly, so now the question is, do I stick with this, or move up the TVC food chain ? I'm inclined to believe that this one does use Audio Music components, as the feel of all the switches is pure quality and it just sounds so open and "right". I might not gain a great deal without spending silly money.

    Well pleased ��, so thanks very much.

    Yes the clicks on the selectors feel good don't they. I'm glad to have helped someone, having issues with pres myself over the years, still looking.. If at any point you upgrade please give me first dibs back as I know I'll find a use for it again.

    Is that one of those heavy Technics that can apparently play upside down? Always wanted to hear one.
