Puresound pimped A30?
:)
It's not a Pimped A30, or a Copper Amp (as fabulous as it would be to have one of those) nor indeed an EAR :eyebrows:
A friend of mine uses an EAR 834L and 861 combo to drive his Tannoy DMT10 speakers and it works beautifully. The driver in the DMT10 is a close relative of the Turnbury unit so I would be inclined to expect the Turnbury would be well suited to EAR amplification.
I've run my own 834P siggy as a preamp through the power amp and it worked well but my experience of other EAR amps within budget, such as the 834 integrated, don't appeal as much. I've not found the EAR amps at this end of their range that enthralling a listen TBH.Quote:

Lol, compact at 35kg.
Got a lot of good reviews; when's it arriving?
yes, it's hernia inducing "compact" :lol:Quote:

Hoping one of our friendly neighbours will take pity and help my wife carry it into the house at least!
Major surgery? Hope all goes well man.
I've never experienced agony like having to wait for bits and pieces to be delivered :(
You not interested in the SS route then? I've never heard a valve amp in action; one day I'll get round to it, I'm intruiged seeing as so many people love them on here!
