If not, it'll be the NVA based solid state amp with built-in phono1 stage and the awful :wink: ....Mission 773, WAF friendly, inefficient, slimline floor-standers (I'm eternally grateful Ray :) ) plus Lenco TT with our Ant's prototype unipivot an...

Re: SV811-3

Well, the triple-decker frame is built: a copy of Izzy’s GM70 pp chassis building technique.
