if anyone is interested, I pulled myself together, pulled out of the Radford purchase and pulled my nappy up and put the Pioneer on eBay. Whilst I would love to hear my LDR pre through a Radford power amp and out through my tannoys, some perspective was required.
The Tube Technology Unisis is in for a service/recap/new valves & finding a fault in the phono board. This will cost a bit more than expected, but I can then sell the Pioneer (which I might regret), the Trilogy phono stage and the MC cart, and the task of fitting everything up on a shelf will be complete.
I have gone around the houses to sort it, but heard some pretty cool shit in the process.
£100 says that by the time I am able to revisit the Radford power amps again, they are worth three times what I would have paid for this one.
looks great, dude.
