Yes, well Lee is certainly our standard bearer for that school of thought. I'm sure that there will be others following in his footsteps.

Hi J!m, Absolutely! I'm already encroaching on the "insulator fund" for S/N 14. Who knows?

When I was in my 30s (1980s) I had a respectable bench setup and was performing discreet component repairs and circuit board replacements for my friends. I would have loved to to build a cutting edge "vintage style" power amp during those years. Into my 40s, I retired from the US Navy and other...

Thank you, Eric! I'm on the edge of my seat. My balanced preamp is all checked out, and I have new XLR cables ready to go. The suspense is killing me.

@WOPL Sniffer - Good evening. I sent you a couple of direct messages. Please let me know if you're still interested. Thank you.

@Hexis22 - It looks like it is the WOPL 400 SII you did for me. 'Twas a noteworthy FrankenAmp it seems. Thank you for the great resto-mod. I guess that it's previous surgeons wouldn't recognize it now. I'd already have the new walnut cabinet, but for the fact that David's wife had to go to...

Let the rabbits wear glasses!

This is where I stopped reading the thread last time because I had to go listen to Fear Inoculum. I had no idea that Tool had wandered off down this rabbit trail. Very cool sound. I have since decided to acquire a White Oak Model One and made my initial investment with Eric. This afternoon...

Thank you to Eric for an excellent job on my WOPL 400 S2 amplifier. I chose to install billet knobs on the bypassed front panel attenuators. I chose the switchable meter sensitivity and bar meter display rather than traveling dot. There's a guy in Texas building a walnut cabinet for it now...

I recently purchased a working Teac 4 track for $750. Picked it up in person 5 hrs away. The guy had 4 unadvertised McIntosh components that I grabbed as well. My research in the market over the last 7 or 8 months revealed to me that non-op R2R decks are going for sub-400 and working units...

. . Well, Eric and I added a few more miles to its odometer these last two months. I'd say it dun reel good. I may get one myself cause otherwise I'm fittna wear a rut in the grass between mine and Eric's place. (With @Hexis22's approval, of course )

Fear Not. For He is with you always, even unto the end of time. This is not a get out of jail free card, cold solder joints still matter. Cheers!
