I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Hi all.
So many excellent suggestions, thank you it's much appreciated.
Although the Neurochrome amps look totally crazy value I've decided to go with an integrated option. I could do with reducing so many boxes too.
Therefore I'm considering selling my Uber Croft Epoch preamp.

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!”

Hi Grant.
Yeah, that does look lovely. But... I'm going Luxman. First time for everything n all that.
So I'm going to push the boat out on a great deal for an L500AXII.
I've been reading the independent reviews for it and it seems to be loved by the majority. I might even do a review myself.

You can't go back after using a Luxman.

There's always the Quad 520f if you like the sound of the 306, and it has balanced inputs!

Yes, I have one, but is a power amplifier: it needs an preamp with balanced outputs. Josie's Luxman amp is an integrated amplifier.
(And cometically, the Luxman amp looks far more attractive, despite having distracting and irrelevant VU meters.)

LOL... the VU meters are irrelevant unless you're recording. Luxman seem to enjoy putting meters on things for sure. LOL... PPMs would be more useful for recording IMO.

Might be irrelevant but bloody good looking and fun. Who ever lusts after a plain black box with two knobs ?
