Thank you, any idea on the SQ? I’ll take a look now.
Healthy for the right amp, I feel that about the Technics too but wondered if the larger A class amps would be any better. They look clean but prices being asked for them certainly isn’t.
Price on M90? I really don't know. Not like you can go on ebay and get an average for the sold listings. I would say it if is cosmetically mint and serviced then you've got to be looking at around the 2 grand mark. They are pretty rare and sought after. I've paid £900 for a Krell KSA50S and £1800 for a Krell KSA100Mk2 in the past 2 years if that gives you any idea. I wouldn't go over 2 grand for an old power amp though, not even that Accuphase.
Phillips 380 - I have one, sound quality is good, a cut above. But I don't get that same 'monstrous power on tap' feeling from it. I don't think you'd get the same satisfaction of ownership from it compared to what you would with the M90 or similar. The VU meters are very pretty though.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
