Yeah, we took Ferrograph back on right at the end of the 307's life and I thought it very good indeed, but a bit past it at the time - you know how fashions go.. the re-styled ones lacked the precision feel of the 307 though.
When I was looking for a headphone amp I thought of one of these, but looking at the cheapo electrolytics inside - loads of 'em - made me think twice if I was going to use one a lot, rather than just look at it in a collection...

As in restyled you mean the 'F208' (20/20) Amplifier
The big one (60/60) was good sounding...
I foolishly sold my last one
I know that feeling!
Blood sweat and tears, then sold due to being slightly mad (and having no space to listen to them at the time)!

The guy didn't even collect them for 3 months then he dissapeared off the face of the planet. Funny thing is, I still have the 2 pin mains leads for them! I wonder if they are even being listened to now. Very sad.

I used to have the Kharki colour version of that 'F308' (60/60) it was massive & weighed a ton, more circuit boards in it than mission control..The sliders were the weak part.. '60/60' was a whole different amp. more of an asthetic match to the Ferrograph 'Studio 8' open Reel (Not a Ferro built product btw)..The 'SFM1' tuner was not too bad..

I agree with you about the Ferrograph, so introducing my chuffer to a large foreign object won't be necessary! :lol:
Btw, if you'd like to bring something else to the pie show to hear in the AOS room, feel free to do so - and that applies to anyone else, too :cool:

I ain't slagging it off - I'm agreeing with you, therefore sodomy won't be necessary ;)
You're slow on the uptake today! :eyebrows:
