Hi,
Thanks to Dave and Ian for their advice in getting me to spend some money and go for a TVS3 that I managed to get eventually.
I have got to say I am very pleased with the Echo unit.
My friend who was going to sell me his changed his mind and decided he was not selling, I guess I can't blame him.
There is one for sale in Queensland in Australia but with Vat and Custom tax plus postage it was too dear.
Then I saw one that just been posted on Reverb and bought it.
At first it was a little dull sounding so I changed the preamp tube as I didn't know when it was last changed.
The Valve that was in was a JJ 12AX7 While I am waiting for a replacement valve I found a new "TAD 2075 WA" in my valve spares
and as the manual says any high grade preamp valve is OK, I replaced the old one.
If this is Wrong I hope Paul will Let me know,
But it sounds a lot smoother.
Regards
Carl.
