Hi John,
Many thanks - all added
It's nice to have some transistor sets on here - I find these glass bottles somewhat intimidating! Lovely sets these - I've got a lovely white RP25B awaiting restoration, and likewise a couple of very poorly Black Knights that will produce at least one near-mint set. For some reason, I find myself drawn to the earlier sets like the RP25 and RP37A VHF Herald - the latter with the large-magnet Elac is probably my favourite, and is used daily. The Hunter is pretty good as well - another Elac loudspeaker giving a good account of itself. I think these sets sound better than the Sovereign III sets - even the Super-Sovereign - but happily, they are all pretty good - I've yet to hear a poor Hacker. Even the later sets are better than the competition, despite the cost-cutting. Can't remember the last time I used a Roberts!
Thanks again,
Mark
