Eventually it wanes…you get used to interacting with some members and when one or more go bye bye then the rest follow…I originally came in for the gear but stayed for the human interaction.
Now that I have an Audio Alchemy with better power supply when compared to the wall wart!
Love the two outputs so I don’t have constantly switch cables. The Grundig’s sound awesome through this preamp (and remote!).
I love these Grundy amps!!
It’s a DIY using 2 OD3, 2 12at7, 1 5R4…I like the beastly TDK attenuator….
But how to I think of this preamp in terms of circuit? I am attaching pictures. What do you guys think of this preamp. I like the sound with the Grundig NF20…super smooth!
I am posting two videos. Both playing the same music through the same speakers.
Pilot SM245 with EL84 output tubes
Pilot 654 Receiver with 7591 output tubes.
Both units refurbished to about the same standard.
I like them both. But when listening to acoustic music I prefer the EL84.
Damn. He was an awesome person. I used to drive up from Atlanta for him to work on my Mac gear. He did good by my Pilot stuff as well..
RIP Terry!!!! Will be missed!!
