Nice sounding amp that you can listen to for hours. At least I did when I owned one. GLWTS.

This seems uncommonly good value for a high quality amp with a particularly good MC/MM phono stage . This model is effectively the junior non wooden cheeked brethren of the Elite range. I see a lot of the same design philosophy from the range topping A91D I once owned. Good luck with sale!

This should make a nice replacement for the one channel Teac Richard !
Yes, will still see if I can fix the TEAC but my friend was keen not to hang around and this looks to be ideal as well as very close for him to pick up.

That is fortuitous! He is going to be a happy chappie (assuming he has some vinyl!).
This amp is from an age where the phono stage was taken very seriously. The controls on these amps are lovely too, the volume knob is very silky.
Hope he likes the system you have assembled for him Rich!
