    Its very good Jez. Nice clear sound. Good soundstage. Good output are plusses... On down side well not too much... Its a tad lean with bass on my system and it was difficult to find a place where some rf was not being picked up.. Better shielding would fix that though i guess. My mm stages may not have suited the cart as well on this system.
    It was the best ive heard the mm on the amp sound but my main mc stage for me beats it.. Sure others will disagree though.

    Conclusion is if i was a looking for a head amp to turn a mm into a mc and didnt have a good mc i would definately give this serious consideration...well done and maybe the dearer head amp your making will address the hum issue if not the leaness which im happy to accept may be my system or me

    Glad you liked it I did have issues myself with RF pick up but only from my wifi modem when it was 2' from the head amp ("woodpecker" type interference). As you say the more expensive metal cased version will cure this and it's likely not an issue for most.... unless they also have a wifi modem right next to it!
    As far as bass leanness goes well it's -3dB @ 0.7Hz

    As an aside I reckon that the ubiquity of wifi has become a real issue as regards RF interference since it's universal adoption....

    Shame the Leak tuner got busted by some dimwit who likely wouldn't give a toss. I've received a couple of damaged items in the last year. Each time, I've contacted the seller and sent photos and suggested a part refund or they can have it back and you want all your postage back too. Both times I got a substantial part refund as requested. It's worth a try, they certainly won't want it back after seeing pictures and being asked to repay two lots of postage.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I had an amp and PSU in for some work a month or so ago and the sender merely put the PSU on top of the amp and put them in a cardboard box and sent them... no other packing It arrived with the box wet and falling apart with only the packing tape holding it all together! How it survived with only a small scratch god only knows. It went back properly packed.
