Yup - these old Sony amps are really rather good. Keep it quiet though or the prices will sky-rocket. [/QUOTE]

Sorry, I'm really not familiar with that model at all as I can only speak from those I've heard (ie the 670ES & 770ES). All I'll say is that the 770ES, which I own now, is probably up there one of the best amps I've owned. Not the best as it's hard to put absolutes on these things - it is very, very good though.

Hi Bernie - I'm using a Denon DL110 in the PL71, works very well. I've always likened it to the 'Ford Focus' of cartridges. That's to say it's not earth-shattering and by far from being the best thing out there, it does nothing particularly wrong and just gets on with the job. Neil (Yomanze of this parish) very kindly sent me his Reson Reca/1042 to try a while ago - it's a lovely cartridge and yes it's slightly better than the DL110 but it's not that much of a difference.

I've left the Denon in place as I don't want to put too many hours on someone else's stylus. Was really good to try though.

I have a DL160 I want to try on mine some time too. It's currently on my SL1210.

I have to ask: what does the picture on the wall represent?

Its a location is it not? longitude/latitude?

Glad you seem sorted Richard, the 770ES is a cracker

If it is, it might be worth reworking that photo and fuzzing out the picture. Don't want any unwelcome visitors helping themselves to what you have

No need to worry Martin, it's a long way from where we live. The picture was a present from my sister a couple of years ago, the reference point marks the top of Great Gable which is probably one of my favourite places in the world.

Ah, ok then. As you were

Nice idea, though.
