*That* is pant-wettingly lovely! I can only imagine what it'd look like illuminated in a darkened room......
Shame it doesn't have valves

Maybe, if meters are your thing, the 150 watt monos might suit you a little better...........

Yes, both from the same guy.
I rather like these Studer valve power amps he's got.

Phwoar - now yer talking! 2x EL34s in push-pull, built for professional use, 19" rack mounting, etc. etc. - I think I need to lie down!
Apropos the Thorens PR-24, they do look nice with that lovely '60s styling; but I have no idea if their performance was any good or not. Shall be interested to see what they fetch. Suspect they will only be of interest to (Thorens) collectors.

I meant to add as a post scriptum Chris, my approval of your single handed, and possible uphill, struggle agains the abuse of the "I'm ..." facility.
There is a certain amount of justification if one's user name and real name is the same, as is mine, however if a member wishes to be known as "IamAHoplessAddictOfStrictlyComeDancing", or whatever, then perhaps this ought to their title.
Maybe I'm being a bit too curmudgeonly and need to lighten up!
Apologies for the thread drift.
Regards
Barry
