    Lovely photos.
    The most recent upgrades Glenn did for me* were amazing, not only in sheer performance but also value for money.

    * 1990's micro A to 2-box 25RS, with RIAA RS phono built in; 7R to 7R monos.

    I'm surprised there's any saving from converting an earlyish Micro to a 25RS, I would have thought building from scratch would be easier and no more expensive save maybe reusing a transformer or two.

    Thought of our brief exchange the other day Jimbo ;-). I went the way of an isolation platform via a granite slab kitchen cutting board (Waitrose, obviously !) and the 4 albeit cheap ebony/brass tipped cones from ebay I mentioned above, and hey presto……

    Honesty as always, I don't really think so - having said this, my motivation was it looking and feeling right, and I think it looks great ! It's not supporting my Croft pre btw, but the Radford. Plus, I always had the desire to integrate something from Waitrose into my system . In all seriousness though, I like the feeling that the amp. is sat on something nice and solid for under 30 quid.

    You can spend way more on dedicated amp isolation stands. I think my preamp roller shelf is over £1000!
