The needledrop links need pulling

Good point. Now removed. I forgot but you can't post needledrops of any copyrighted material as google get all arsey about it. Posting drops of music you own the copyright to is fine of course.

I take it the bit I find exciting, ie the possibility of a "Jezadise" phono stage is of no interest to any one else then? Zero feedback, passive RIAA, works in a way unlike any commercially made amplifier (AFAIK) other than the Pink Triangle PIP.... original Paradise reckoned by many to be "probably the best phono stage in the world" (Carlsberg ad voice needed there!). I'll certainly build one for myself as a technical curiosity if nothing else and see how it goes from there

I find the idea exciting and £800.00 is less than a Paradise cost to build.

If you do build one I would be very happy to compare it to my Paradise.

Oh don't think I wasn't going to ask both you and Simon for an opinion!

It would be 2 box and with far less expensive PSU arrangements, hopefully as good as or better than the original PSU though. The circuitry I've designed and have been simulating for the main phono stage part has excellent PSRR and so should be relatively immune from PSU interactions. Although working on the same almost unique operating principle as the Paradise, all circuitry is of my own design and the unit would not specifically be intended to be a "Paradise clone on the cheap" but rather a unit in its own right which should be judged on its own merits rather than by "how similar to the Paradise is it". Having said that, as its modus operendi is the same it should share a fair bit of DNA with the Paradise in its SQ.

Obviously I'm biased in that the Paradise is my phonostage of choice, but it does have a remarkable transparency and unforced naturalness - huge amounts of detail, but not not thrust at you. If your phonostage also possesses these qualities then it will be amongst the very best and a stone cold bargain at £800.

I would be interested Jez.

Nice to see some interest in this prospective new product amassing A couple of custom builds to get finished for AOS members before I can spend time on making the vapour ware rather more tangible for now though...

In the meantime is there anyone else interested in hearing the Arkless 640P before I ask Andrew to post it back to me?

[Arkless Electronics]

One last shout out for anyone interested in hearing the Arkless 640P before I have it sent home to me.

[Colinijohnson]

I'm happy to loan mine out near Croydon for a couple of weeks in return for nice small speakers loan? Pm if interested
