I spent some time playing the unit today, listening to FM, and some CDs. Speakers were JBL bookshelf units. I am impressed, CD especially showed the performance of the amp, even limping along on the mixed bag of old valves. Sound was very good, and plenty of power, filling the garage with Jazz.

FM still needs a bit of attention. Every so often, I hear weird harmonic artefacts in stereo signals that vanish if the receiver is switched to mono. Looking at voltages, things are very high compared to the values quoted in the service manual... weak valves? I'll check when the new shipment arrives. I also need to complete the MPX alignment.

But... I can certainly see why this receiver has a following.

Cheers
