Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?

To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:

a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.

I had one of those amps on loan for a couple weeks while my Jadis was in for repair. It sounded really good and the build quality was top notch. The one I had was the A 50T I think, you could switch between Triode and Ultralinear on the fly via the remote if memory serves. It didn't quite have the tight grip on the bass as the Jadis but there wasn't much in it.
Thanks for that, think I might take a punt if the price is right, my next speakers are 4 way and highish efficiency @ 90.5 db so I’ll be lookin’ to tone down the bass anyway!
Being an uncomplicated design can you recall would bias adjustment/ service be a regular thing with it?

Ah no Simon I was working on the 6m to the volume control and then back to the seat. Multiply that by myriad adjustments during the listening session and changing the LP sure one might walk a mile!

I didnt have it long enough to say if the bias needed to be monitored. As far as I can remember it took care of this itself but might be worth checking out before buying.
