Hi Andy,
Actually, I got rid of it a couple of months ago, although I was very happy with it's performance. Kind of like a British int amp phase I went through having sold the Creek for a Ditton Elan Di-260 made by Celestion. Now the Ditton is gone and replaced by an Antique Sound Lab MGsi15DT. Now that I've gone back to tubes, I'm done experimenting with different integrateds.

I did like the Creek better than the Ditton as is was sweeter and more realistic sounding, whereas the Ditton was very dynamic and transparent but didn't draw you in as much.

Wait a second, I think I just recognized your screen name. Didn't I buy a Creek 4330 from you thru a different website about a year ago?
Best regards,
Lou
