It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I think I may be on a winner with these babies. Fantastic sound if not exactly warehouse scale bass. Strapping the tweets on really has brought the music to life.
A very unforgiving presentation in the same sort of fashion as Kan 1's.
They do take some grunt up them to really sing though so it's back to ss for me until I can afford EL34 joy again.

The pre lives! A bit scrappy but it's all there.
It does great justice to the P500 that has arrived from a foreign land too. My landlord is in the upstairs flat at the moment but later on I shall give this a gert spanking.

Shunt mod added and boy was this a worthwhile five minutes and 78p!
Just more. Space and air and separation are increased.

The knob of kindness has arrived!
It fits nicely and feels good in action as well as finishing the pre off.
Many thanks to Nigel for the knob, it's great.

The current grouping of oddments.
The Leaks have had their tweets returned and have been reinstated while the open baffles are being reworked to include their own tweets.
All sounding lovely and worth the dicking around.
I couldn't leave the CD4 alone. I've put a new captive moulded three core power cable on and replaced the rca sockets with fancy ones as I do like a shiny doodad.
Necessary things like fixing the display will happen but I'm happy enough just listening for a while.
Different but not unpleasantly so from the CJ I think for a fiver it's a steal.

They are in their several versions still to be had for bargain prices but just lately seem to be creeping up in price.
Mine are a very good pair and won't be going anywhere now as they will get harder to replace.
I've removed the naff blue scrawl from the P500 Grant.
Had to be done, looks much better now for me and at this price point well who cares?

Naughty indeed. Slightly bigger cabs than the Dovedale ones those.
