Thanks to everyone who took the time and trouble to reply to this
thread. In the end I decided not to buy the A&R A60 with the DIN
sockets (read as: didn't bid for it on eBay) and decided to bid on one
in a later auction that had binding posts.

Much to my annoyance, I didn't win the one with binding posts. To rub
it in, I could have probably won the one with DIN sockets as I could
have collected it in person = put in a higher bid.

So; does any freindly person in the UK have an A&R A60 they want to
sell at a reasonable price to me?

Failing that, another classic British amp, the NAD 3020, seems to sell
at a generally lower price than the A&R A60.

Which of the two would anyone recommend and why?

Thanks,
Mark
