Cheers, Dave. I'll let you know how I get on, as no doubt will Darren

The one I had in the 80s also had that box and the same printed instructions inside, and it sounded big, ballsy and full of 'fun factor' (and bass was exceptional, with real 'heft' and drive), which is just the kind of sound I like, and I suspect that the uber-transparent, 'airy' and revealing nature of the valve MM phono stage in my Croft will open out its top-end nicely!

Regarding the G800, there is no shortage of power and substance with it in my system, where it sounds rather like a Denon DL-103, only better!!

Marco.
