Yes, I do, and it's quite neat-o

I have one system that consists of a Bugle Pre -> (sometimes a Bottlehead Foreplay) -> Sonic Impact or Gainclone -> BuschHorn speakers; to be honest, I only use the Foreplay because of the volume controls (which I didn't put in/on on my Gainclone)

very very nice, extremely clean sound with good extension; the Gainclone has a bit more bass weight, it seems - I started it as a 100% DIY showcase (sourced by a replinthed Lenco, to boot), but it turned into the radically-different-but-equal-counterpart to the all-tube, vintage amplification in my lair (I have a young son who still isn't too clear about the voltage + heat thing with the tubes)

if you have a decent phono pre and the speakers to use with it, the T-amp is cheap enough to use for one weekend to see whether you can get used to it, and you don't even really need super-duper efficient speakers, either - the T-amp drives a pair of KLH 20s from time to time, and sounds quite nice, while the Gainclone probably has more drive than some 70's receivers I own
