Is it a class A/B ?

Be tactful and dont be too rude

I know what I'd say to them

4-1 sucks

I ain't new to hifi or racing.

All I can say about the NAIT is I had an original 45 years ago. It was very good at that time but not impressive after my upgrading to a Burmester 838 MC pre. MM basically sucks. Upgrading to a MC cartridge and especially with a pre/power setup is another world. Its not cheap, its called...

Funny how he tagged the sites 2 main speaker recommendations. IMO you would be a mug to buy either but that depends on where you are in your Hi-Fi journey. Much better can be got if you look. Just saying....

I'd ask him for petrol money

When you get the F40 you can give the OP a lift home with his speakers. Make sure you get the roof rack option

IMO they are both poor value for money compared to second hand B&W 683 Series 2. Thanks for the sponsored response. Being paid to offer poor advice should not be allowed.

If you want floor standing then get 3 way speakers. A good buy second hand is the B&W 683 series 2. Expect to pay around Euro 900. They are absolutely amazing and great value at this price point. Read the reviews, they are incredible speakers ! A decent alternative would be a second hand pair of...

IMO Servisol wont last. Everything else you suggested is uneconomical. Even if its repaired its not a great item and certainly not sustainable. Time to invest in a proper upgrade. Not EAR

Personally I'd get an 838, they come up on eBay for under £1k and Burmester fully support them. It is a referance standard phono stage (pre amp) and generally rated in top 5 ever made. It's a dual mono design with military grade components and therefore no cross talk with virtually unmeasurable...

Yes. My advice is as I said. Solution is either new valves or valve seats (very likely). Possible other problems would basically involve full testing/repair and would probably not be worth the expense. Its old and everything reaches a point where you need to replace it. EAR are known for...

Try wriggling the valves around. Common EAR issue is the sockets they sit it. You may need to replace all 3 but bad connection on valves is the biggest issue with EAR.
