Thanks Andy.

I'll have to give that a try, although the NJM2122 doesn't seem to be available in the UK. Mouser have them but will not be getting any more. Digi-Key stocks them too.

I'm assuming the signal's going to the non-inverting input?

1. I haven't had bad luck with cheap tires (though I avoid the really, really cheap.) They've all exceeded their milage ratings with no problems. My inlaws just had a belt slip on a cheap tire, though.

2. The best food in town is cheap: A Thai/Laotian place called "Asian House." Granted, the decor and ambience leave something to be desired (located in an old gas station with 20 year old everything), but the large portions of perfectly balanced, ultra fresh food annialate all but Corks Wine Bar and Grill. My most recent entree there was $42. Veracruz Mexican Bakery in Willmar, MN made the best Tacos I've ever eaten (easily eclipsing anything I found in Santa Fe, NM) for $1.50. Their flan was world class at $2 for a huge slice. Too bad I was practically their only customer or they'd still be in business.

3. I'm not looking to spend much more than $100 for a pair of step ups. Many folks in the same boat are buying vintage mic transformers on ebay. Plenty of folks used to scout for output trannies from consoles and r2r's, but there seems to be a growing consensus that one is better off purchasing the budget options from Hammond and Edcor. I may give the little guys a shot.
