Hi JohnMichael

Try auditioning a Trichord Dino. I have a Trichord Delphini MkII with the separate NC power supply and it's excellent, I'm totally happy with it. I gather that the Dino is very close and from memory is about £300 ($600) with a starter power supply and £500 ($1000) with the full power supply. It always seems to do well in the magazine reviews.

It's also easily user adjustable for gain and loading.

Cheers

Chas
