For sale is this fantastic valve buffer built by Nick Gorham, Longdog Audio.
I have had it for about 18 months and it has worked faultlessly, it was checked over by Nick before I bought it.
I put this buffer between my DAC and amp and it offered more weight, depth, clarity and made everything seemed more lifelike and pronounced. It is not warm and 'Valvy' at all just gives the music more authority and puts more flesh on the bones.

Here is a very interesting thread on this very DAC

I'll sell it for what I paid for it £250
Thanks

If its of any interest to the new owner, I am happy to give it a check over and see if any of the valves need replacing for the cost of the shipping from me to the new home.

I enjoyed building this at the time.
Originally incorporated a dac board inside (lampizator style)

It has been modded somewhat by Nick I believe.
