As promised, here are the pics.
Excellent packing job the amp is absolutely immaculate and very impressive so far played one album and one CD.
Ended up hooking it to my floorstanding speakers as opposed to my bookshelfs as per ILI ‘s suggestion in the above post.
very happy so far.
using my Rega Planar 2 with Grado cartridge.
One question if anyone one has any experience .
the directions say after you use it and shut it down , to turn it back on for five minutes, to avoid tube damage.
Am I understanding this right ,
turn it back on I’m assuming with nothing playing and no load .
i have added a picture of the “ turn back on directions “
