Would be a waste to stream Spotify through
Amp is a stereo BBC AM8/2 class A valve amp, similar to the Mullard 3-3. Preamp is a stereo Mullard 2-valve with a few tweaks. 4 inputs:
1: Aux connected to cheap Chinese bluetooth module. Used sometimes.
2: TV, mostly streaming YouTube through a Chromecast. Used the most.
3: Cambridge Audio DVD player. Used sometimes.
4: RIAA phono stage built with unused vintage components found in an abandoned electronics stash from the 60s and 70s. Took ages to plan-in and build. Never used.Judge me!

Gotcha. The full setup seems to only have one mains cable, going to the preamp, and then two cables come off that, one to each power amp (although this one is mono). Here's a stereo one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285084893694?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAiA76-dBhByEiwAA0_s9aLOqj0JCQXLPXXZYYY81MrLfb3rMJImErmbjtmNFulLLrJC25yLyhoCzo4QAvD_BwE
Would be a waste to stream Spotify through something that lovely, but it's still very tempting.
