Cheers, saw that Mark. No phono.

Got a couple of options
Bought whatever the KT88 model was called for silly cheap years back - and with my “gift” for commerce still managed to make a loss on it - AND the cunt that bought it tried to scam me… The saddest part was that I really liked it - sounded great and looked good for what is after just a silver metal box. Should have kept the damned thing.
The dealer I was buying from agreed with me that it wasn’t that great in my system and gouged another £500 out of me for another amp he had for sale 
Dealers are pure evil / customers are all innocent victims.

Funnily enough, having said that I didn’t rate Copland, I’ve now just bought one, having been listening to a mates for the last hour or two.
I told him I was looking for a valve amp and he invited me around for a listen to his. Loved it, so bought one.
Hope it works with my speakers.

What were his speakers?
Audiovector R1 Sigs
87 dB, 8 Ω.
Mine are 87dB, 6Ω, in a tiny listening room (just over half the size of his), so will hopefully be OK 
We’ll see.
