Hello Simonleemd,

Had one when it was first introduced years ago.
Did some very nice things with my Marantz 67se but with one major flaw:
it actually slowed down the pace of the music.
The people at Stereophile I believe also came to the same conclusion.
I have one with a good power supply.
I adds warmth and makes the mids more lush.
If you like nice crisp,focused sounding music
forget getting one.
If you like warm and lush and with descent detail then you may love it.
I just got mine w/some mullards.
Im still undecided if its for me.
NOS tubes are a must and get rid of the wall-wart and get a real power supply if you get one.
e-mail me and I'll point you to a good but cheap power supply.
for anyone interested,here is info.on a VG power supply.
I was too lazy last night to look up the info.
It can be found at www.hosfelt.com
its 'adapter #56-483'
12vac,4.5amp.
It sells for $7.99...yes $7.99
Its the same thing Rat Shack sells for $30
Im sure its as good as the Musical Fidelity PSU but isnt a fancy can with a cool led light,just a well built and kind of heavy black box.
