   Thank you for the weath of info! I happen to have an S-5000 that I love. It   
   has a hum in the phono preamp though.. something I would like to get rid of. I   
   really like how you can vary the loudness curve by adjusting the preamp volume   
   along with the    
   master volume, that plus the tone controls gives me plenty of ability to get   
   the sound I want at any level. A very well thought out amp. The selector   
   switch allows stereo, reverse stereo, mono channel A, mono B, & mono A+B plus,   
   pulling out the balance    
   knob changes the phase on one channel. Very flexible!   
   Here is a video of me testing it out when I first got it:

   It is now in my listening room connected to a set of vintage Warfedale   
   speakers..
