Im also taking Radford MA15 pair

Together with Hadcock tonearms, bits+bobs, records, cds, and an Accuphase tuner.

Ive no doubt that with over 100 tables there will be some lovely things for everyone to empty their piggy banks

Now those are rare - if I didn't already have an STA15/III, I would have them.

Kit built ?

Yes they're not in the standard Radford cases, possibly home build with Radford transformers and circuit boards, they apparently still sound like Radfords should. Maybe worth a punt at the right price

Are they the same as the Heathkit MA12's - using the Mullard circuit? They came with Radford or Partridge transformers?

Managed to get a Woodford Renaissance STA 35 - just need to get some new valves. Shall I start with some JJ and go from there? Anyone using KT77s?

Excellent, JJ KT77's in my STA25 III, also have the original Mullard EL34's and some GEC KT77

Yep I recently purchased a quad of JJ KT77's, an excellent sounding valve that seems to have an extra midrange sparkle over the EL34 and £84 for four, cheap too

I believe that this seller tests each valve before sending.

Have bought from him a couple of times, found him very good.
