Good man :-)

I should get a copy of John's book, think I will suggest it to my better
half as a birthday idea, she normally buy's me usefull things like cheap
screw driver sets.

I haven't delved in deeply yet, but there seems to be a great deal of
interest in there for a fettler like myself. I too got the book as a
present - my wife knows I have a surfeit of screwdrivers.

Getting the new phono working, still a bit of hum to track down (as ever),

Particularly important in a RIAA circuit.

but I am quite stunned just how low noise these E810F pentodes are, huge
Gm (50ma/v) and a equivilant noise of about 100R. And they are cheap and
easy to find..

Did you get the HP334A?
It will give you a great deal of useful information, and thinking
about all that new-found knowledge will keep you awake at night.

Better to spend the money on an SS amp, open a beer, and
telephone for a pizza:-)
