I thought you had inquired about a better valve pre?
Yeah I figured that, hence my search for better, however for the money it's not doing too badly

So far I've tried the Satchmo, the Primaluna Dialogue Premium, Promitheus TVC, Tisbury, BTE Passive. Ok I would love the Primaluna but even used your talking over 2 grand, a sum I'm not prepared to pay.

So the search continues.

I fancy trying a Croft (again)

Thing is I've sold most of the amps that would now be worth trying with the Tannoys, and in the case of the TQ Claymore I've no chance of buying another of those to try, I only ever tried it as a Pre, DOH!

Still, you live and learn, just wish it was a cheaper lesson lol.
