Is that normal for kt-88's? The 6550's I have, even as old as they are, the light goes off at about 1 O'cl...

Mine is actually a PV10A with the phono.. i primarily use it for vinyl so.. I think I'm going to stick with it and get it upgraded! I love it but I think it could be freshened up! So glad this site exists!

Re: PV10A or PV5 ? Preamp choice?

Thanks! For the info! I think I'm going to send in the PV10 as I already own that so it will be the most cost effective!
