there must be typo there?


Oooohhhh it's a joke .. I get it now :D
 
I'm waiting for the MM model (I heard that it will only be 24,000 Pounds).
I don't know what kind of cheap floozy you boys think I am, but 24,000 is obviously priced into the ground. 24,999, please.
 
Gyrodec -> Rega Apheta 2 LOMC -> MC PRO -> Goldpoint attenuators -> i. MF X-A50 and ii. Albarry 1008 MkII power amps [Rothwell River interconnects throughout]

Recently purchased after doing my own spreadsheet, didn't have a few things I had an urge to play with but nothing that I actually needed to play with.

Excellent results, better I would say than my 20 year old MF X-LP2 triple chassis [crisper, less sibilant, even cut some hum], 63/73dB gain plenty for the .35 output of the Rega, the 120 fixed impedance works well and - cliché alert - silent blackness when you listen for it. The LXFilter is a strange one - it does subtly alter the sound but I found a sweet spot [for me] at about 1/4 way round the dial. I don't have a golden ear trumpet but everything from Cream to Sade was just converted into the music as it should, particularly with the Albarry's. Spot on & thanks Michael for a well engineered and executed stage, just great.
