    It has its own phono stage, but I prefer using my Graham Slee through a line stage. Its inputs are - phono, line 1, 2, 3. Line 1 doesn't work at the minute, line 2 does. Haven't tried phono or line 3 yet.

    they're at the back.

    QUOTE=Mikeandvan;1153389]Thanks Dave, which fuse do I check? And how can I tell which valve is playing up?

    There's only 1 fuse at the back, appears fine.

    I think the inputs should all be in the same circuit when selected so it might be the selector switch itself. have you tried fiddling it a little bit when the dodgy input is selected? From experience with other amps a channel can cut out this way and maybe distort (but usually at a low volume). Are all other line inputs ok?

    Its working fine now, I guess it has an intermittent fault.

    I tried emailing him twice, no reply, I understand though, when work isn't worth it, I often ignore it myself.

    I guess he's maybe just a bit busy... I've spoken to him via email a couple of times and he's normally very good at getting back.. don't give up as I'm sure Glenn will sort it out for you easily and fairly cheaply too
