Good news Andy, maybe it's time to draw a line under this one and get going on the successor?
You'd get a decent price for it in the right places especially if it measures well and it will certainly drive a difficult/insensitive load.

I have to say I still like my simple "conventional" amps, complete with inherent idiosyncrasies. Since going back to the "other side" with latterly a nice performing Quad 405-2 I'm appreciating all forms of amplification.
On the back burner I have an idea for a tone control that I can use in the tape loop of a preamplifier, I'm not one for using them in every instance but I do have the odd recording that seems to respond with a gentle and subtle tweak.
One for another thread once I get it going.
