Nope, i went to buy one once, after reading all the mags, but walked out the shop with an Exposure Super XX. No regrets 9 years on.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I've just given the case a quick blow-over with spray paint and although it will never be 100%, it's passable.
The big decision is whether to keep it and mod it OR Ebay.
I have the service manual in .pdf format fron Arcam if anyone wants it.

Ripp the guts out.
With two decent size heatsinks on the sides instead of the funny quad and the big toroid in the middle you'd have a ready to go setup for a drop-in amp transplant.
The big hunk toroid of the Alpha-10 deserves better, it was sized for a 3-channel layout (afaik)
4 quid is a steal for so many beauty parts, are the 4 output devices not Toshiba models ?
I like the Alpha 10. It doesn't fit with my current tastes, but it offers supremely good, relaxing listening. It's certainly not as bad as you make out Jacco, ( 😉 ), and would work well with an over-bright main system.
Oh, and I dropped you a line with my address, thanks.

I did consider this but as it is working and, after the respray, looking half-decent, I decided to keep it or at least, sell it on Ebay or through the forum.
Besides, I have enough half completed projects!!!!

Thanks for that Andy. Now all I have to do is try and persuade them to give me the dAVe board schematic, last time I asked a year or so ago they said it was proprietary and wouldn't release it. 🙁

Know what you mean, it's 28C overhere and i long for the big booby babe beach.
All work and no play for dull Johnny at 25ft up.
Will make a nice profit if you sell the 10er.
(Nothing in my incoming box yet, yea Alness, you may have to do a second run)
