Before you criticise a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you do - you'll be a mile away. And have his shoes.
Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.

I bought my 25 back in 1978 for £80. I've recently spent £190 on it getting it cleaned, recapped and new valves. I took it along to a local hi-fi emporium, paired it with the shop's Rogue pre-amp and compared it with the best power amps that rogue could supply (costing £0000s of course..). I bought the preamp from him to pair it with and it sounds gorgeous. So I suppose what I'm saying is......mine won't be for sale, I'm afraid.
Prices for Radfords are getting a bit silly (IMO). There is a guy trying to sell an STA15 (with the matching pre) which is described as 'may not work'. Winning bid reached just over £1200, but the seller has now relisted (presumably to achieve an even higher price - with the winner presumably feeling deflated).
There is a guy in Bristol selling an STA15, looks pretty ugly but may well be an excellent restore job for Will.

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!”
***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
They are still cheap for what you're getting though. Not heard much at any price that comes close.
