    Running in my new Audiolab 8300MB amplifiers

    The biggest difference will be within the first few hours, after that it will be a gradual change over the next 80 to 100 hours, that should do it :thumbs:

    Power amp choices

    Small update, I have been living with the Kinki BX7 Mono Blocks for about 8 weeks now and and although it seems like quite a while, I have only managed to put about 20 hours on them as i have been switching between various other amps in that time.

    Hi Adie, Sorry for the delay. There have been some interesting developments and i need to do a lot of typing. I will definitely have an update in a day or two. I really wanted to try The Brinkman Pre, but alas there was no joy in obtaining one.

    THE LOFT is about to close - the end of a chapter but not the end of the story..

    I would have loved to hear the Brinkman Pre. I have heard a lot of good things about it. Sorry to see you are closing shop.

    @ Achim, looks like you are right! I managed to get a loaner Pre Amp from George in Alberton this afternoon. What a lovely chap. He reached out to me quite a few weeks ago and said if i ever wanted to try his Ming Da Pre, i was more than welcome to pick it up. So after being a little...
