    Thumbs up Radford STA 15 Mk. III amplifier

    Enormous gratitude to Ian (IHP) for the Radford amp he sold me the end of last year.

    Despite completing the transaction in December, it was more convenient to have it collected in March/April this year, and here I must thank Marco for his help in this matter and for actually collecting the amplifier for me.

    The amplifier is in perfect working and cosmetic condition and I'm delighted with it. Plenty of fun to be had now with tube rolling and on deciding which load impedance setting is best for my Quad 57s.

    As you can imagine, I'm a very happy bunny!

    Many, many thanks Ian.

    Many thanks to Tony (Little Tone) for the CDs he sold me. Unbelievably well packed and with very reasonable postal charges, I'm delighted.

    Over five hours of new listening for me tonight!

    Great dealing with James (istari_knight) who sold me a fully serviced Arcam Delta 60 amplifier. Good communications, well packaged and delivered according to plan.

    First impressions are excellent and the work to my ears sound worthwhile and probably means this amp may keep going for another 20years. There could even be a chance it sounds better than new

Its good for 80wpc with a quality phono stage built it aswell...
