Well it's been a while since my last post so here's an update. I think my Leak Stereo 20 is quite good with the Proac 110s but I am on the lookout for some Snell Js as I believe the bass will benefit. I really like female vocals played through the system. My kit preamp seems very good though there i...

I've answered my question.

I imagine the resistance isn't very critical. I am new to valves. It's surprisingly difficult to track one down. Could someone p...

This looks like a good place to visit for someone getting into electronics building again. I've so far built a VTA PH15 phono amp - first tube project, and I am part way through a SP14 Preamp kit from the same supplier.
