    Foreign pcb in the 2000? You will have to explain that one James, I also assemble that one myself.

    @Mark, let's see how this one performs first

    Thanks Alan, any ideas on how long before you have tested the head amp?
    I am looking at SUT or an alternate arrangement such as a high quality head amp to try into my current phono pre amps and this may be an option.

    Alan won't be testing it as it's on it's way to me. I can let you know how it sounds once I've fitted it. The one he built me with Takman metal resistors does compare well to my tweaked Denon HA 1000 however.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    Thanks, I would be interested to hear your views.

    Well have just fitted this and plumbed it in to the system. Very early days, but sounds very smooth but with no loss of detail. A slight "zing" that I seem to hear from metal film resistors is now absent. Will give it some time before forming a proper impression. Good so far though!
