Hi Al Ears No really a pre '54 listener as you say So, my Pr-Ject tube preamp has no control at all, what it did do as I mentioned on another thread you helped with, was just up the ante quality wise, I was actually so shocked at the difference it made but, having said that, it was my first...

RoA As I mentioned further up the thread: I have a want to listen to the albums on a HI-FI of the era, kind of how they would be listened to then at that time'ish, having said that, I know the Valve Pre-amp is a modern addition but as my Phono inputs are knackered, I needed it to get the...

Will do Insider9 I shall post on this thread when i get there which will be in the next week or so! Thanks

Thanks Insider9 I think I shall be taking the plunge very soon after all the advice I have been given, see how that goes and if necessary move on from there until I find the right amp, as you say, its a learning curve which I am looking forward to As always, thanks everyone for all your help!

Thanks Millenia I think I was approaching this in a "get what info and advice you can to make a single that will work from the first day" I guess what your saying is "make your own mind up", give stuff a try and see where it leads you. I suppose by doing that, there's enjoyment through...

So, any suggestions re potential Amp choices? I keep looking and just when I think I've found something that may replace and upgrade the Technics SU-z22, I find reviews slamming it, its an out an out minefield and i know its down to taste but it seems to be 50/50 on every amp half like, half hate!

Thanks for the response insider. I'm pretty new to this and they, if over budget for me, look like a power amp i.e. no adjustment for bass/treble/filters. I've seen these before and often wondered why? Is this how they class amps? My new little pre amp has no tonal adjustments at all so I'm...

To be honest Insider9, I have a want to listen to the albums on a HI-FI of the era, kind of how they would be listened to then at that time'ish, having said that, I know, the Valve Pre-amp is a modern addition but as my Phono inputs are knackered, I needed it to get the SL-1700 going AND, I...

Sorry, sent before I'd finished Bothe Luxmans come in around the £350/375 mark and a very very clean Revox A78 I've seen at £340. I've also been looking at Technics but there are soooo many and so many conflicted reviews its a mine field! Ant

Hi RoA No, will pay for a complete overhaul after, I am not technical enough or have the time to be unfortunately. Having said that, £500 is the very top end, I've been investigating the Luxman L410 and L81????

So, gonna go back to my original question that started this thread, Running the SL-1700 to a Pro-Ject Tube Box II then into my SU-Z22 and out through my SB-4500's. I play only vinyl, 70's mainly from Floyd to Nick Drake past Kate Bush then a left at AC/DC before returning home on the night bus...

I started another thread earlier in the week re a new amp to upgrade my setup up to £500, still thinking about that, ill refresh that thread now

Al ears/Gray The little Tube Preamp arrived today, working from home with a deadline but couldn't help myself, plugged in, SL-1700 setup and balanced again OMG!!!!!! Sounds incredible, so happy with what I'm getting out of my SB-4500's, its a a much fuller more detailed sound, actually...
