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?

Hmmm, I think I'm going to start blaming obesity on remote controls. Nice one, Tony!
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.
