er yes bought a Croft Vitale
http://www.davewhitter.pwp.blueyonde...sc_pre_amp.htm

The other day and getting a couple of there power amps built for my
collection has some nice new ones out


Not a million miles out then! (Feck me, I just *knew* it!! :-)

Those Vitale pre's are the *dogs danglers* and cheap as chips, I know
that. I can't believe I never got one myself - I won't ever now as I
would/mebbe will build a pre myself (despite knowing ****-all about
electronix and not being am Injun Ear myself, an' all.... ;-)

IIRC, they have separate Vol controls for each channel which utterly
confounds the Yanks, I gather. (No surprise there...!!) Gives a you a
nice bit of 'balnce control' to square a (sonically) wonky room. Also
there are 'silent settings' on the IS, I believe so you dont blow
your brains out switching between sources?? All clever stuff.

Them volume controls are hard to use, drives me mad some times

Some people sell up after a bit, as they never get use to them


If I am good next year, as I can not get new car, still banned due to a
couple of mini strokes will be able to splash out a bit.

Nice CD player Naim Wadia or Krell could be on the way to my collection or

this pre amp no idea what to use it with just like it :-)
