Its that time of the month again, fancy trying something else with the Kefs so my little Puresound A10 is up.
Its a great little integrated, sits somewhere in-between the Audion KT88 and Decware Zen/Audionote Oto in terms of power/control and resolution. Nice balance and tight, punchy bass. A great partner with anything reasonably efficient.
Comes with original packaging (double boxed) and manual etc and is in very good condition. Looks pretty much as-new to me. Just to note, the cover/cage is not easily removable.
Power is 10wpc from two pairs of EL84's in PP and has both 8ohm and 4ohm output taps. It has two inputs.
I thought it was producing some hum, but its just my mains supply as it was fine over another A0S's house when we set it up there. FWIW I have had similar problems with other valve amps in my room as well.

Looking for a replacement, ideally a swap with something like the Marantz PM17 or similar (Sony ES or Denon etc), anything interesting that will be happy with a 4ohm resistive load also considered.
An integrated with a MM/MC input would be nice as well, overall power not critical.
Looking for £SOLD inc UK delivery.
