I seem to remember 'tin can' was the phrase.
Useful looking four way input selector.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I had the Linn Index with the matching stands. Paired with a NAD amp they were truly the most boring things I have ever heard. Heybrook HB2 to the rescue if I remember correctly! They looked great though.

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!”

There is for me something just lovely about so much of the older kit, this amp and also the RtoR on another thread.
It seems as though there was so much conviction and effort gone into them compared with now, a bit parallel to a record deck compared with a CD player, the latter being comparatively bland, soulless, even insipid.
It is hard to argue that Hi-Fi has not moved on technically and in sound quality, and this raises questions about how we choose Hi-Fi, perhaps with our eyes and not with our ears.
That is a cracking looking amp. I have to agree Dennis, I don’t think sound quality has moved on at all in the last 40 years. Perhaps in the uber expensive high end but those are waters I don’t fish in.
