Just got a pass f5 that was built a couple of years ago by nick gorham to replace the img amp ive been using while the el34 amp is awaiting a rebuild. Its a full dual mono version, separate mains tx and psu per channel
Using it with a passive, the demo lenco I built and nuvistor phono stage, and the Philips cd 160 I picked up for peanuts.
Doesnt need an active pre in the house with my prototype metronome speakers, they are about 90db ish. If I wanted to take it to a meet somewhere it could probably do with one though. I might build something.
I havent had a 'proper' sand amp for about 15 years, put it this way, the el34 amp might be sat awaiting its rebuild for quite abit longer than planned.
Superb

Oh well, couldnt get a rack built today, rain stopped play. No way I was about to use a router in the house. She who must be obeyed would have had 'issues' with that.....
Had to fettle some cupboards so i could get some of the bits and pieces put away out of sight.
I found some bits that i cant remember buying.
A marantz tape deck, a philips cd104, a video recorder?! A Philips dvd player, some sort of nondescript belt drive turntable that has a rega carbon cart on it, and a valve amp chassis i made and didnt use that I thought had gone ages ago.
The cd160 playing through the pass f5 made this bearable
