Nice review and one that reflects my own experience of owning one for the past seven or so years. My one is of the king of bling variety
though as the silver knobs came along a year or two after my purchase.

The phonostage is indeed superb and is the same as the standalone 88PB. In fact you can think of the 868PL as an 88PB with extra line inputs.

I don't know if you are using the tubes supplied by EAR. They are very good and there need be no rush to think of rolling. If,eventually, you do then Tungsram or Telefunken PCC88s (7DJ8) NOS are great if now less easy to find.

If you bought new then you will have the elegant slim silver remote control. If your one is an older model you may have the strange grey plastic affair. I strongly recommend getting hold of the silver one instead.

I am sure that you will have years of enjoyment ahead.
