Nice to see 5pin DIN sockets my 44 being a very late one (mk3) has full Din/Phono for all the modules

IIRC pretty much pure Class A operation, hence the heat sinkage.
Will at least keep you warm....

Youngsters will look at that and think "Wow... it's got MIDI!"

An Audiophile 24/96... just for phono in and out. The shoddy 3.5mm jack connections have been doing my nuts in for years so hopefully this will be less fickle

Not yet vintage...the speaker stands I knocked-up on Sunday....a triumph of aesthetics over sonic performance!

For our temporary digs they'll do fine...

If you hollow out the columns of your speaker stands and fill them with a mixture of lead shot and silver sand, you will notice a quantum leap in the sonic quality of music emerging from your speakers.

Trust me.
