    Settled on these about 5 years ago after a few twists and turns along the journey:

    Exposure XVII (MC phono stage)
    Avondale M1 monoblocks
    White Noise Audio MkIII headphone amp, because these things matter too !

    Quad 77 Integrated (bought new and still in daily use)
    Quad 405-2 with improved Dada boards (bought second hand on eBay)
    Quad 520f - "refreshed" by Dada (bought second hand on eBay)

    No complaints. They will outlast me as I am coming up 70.

    When I was a new graduate and had no money I had a Goodmans Tuner-Amp. When I had some money I bought a Sugden A48/T48 and used them half my life. When they needed a lot of TLC I sold them to an enthusiast who would give it.

    You may judge me a long term buyer!

    Very happy owner of a Shengya preamp and Jungson power amp. Superb items, and far superior to the Meridian amp i had previously
    Without music, powerboat racing, photography and a whole stack of other stuff that floats my boat, life is just a non stop procession of deadlines and bills.

    Valve monos have gone, big Quad amp gone, Class A power amps gone. This is my main amp at the moment, the notorious seventeen quid TPA3116 unit from China.



    I still have a few integrateds and two Quad 306 power amps, but the TPA3116 sounds amazingly good and drives my big Tannoys just fine.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
