Hi
The names Nick and Ive been into hifi and hobby electronics since the 80's when i were a lad.My first hi fi system was a jvs as5 30 watt amp marantz tt2000 turntabke with a vms 20 cartridge and a d35hitachi tape deck. progressing throught the years i was never enamoured by HiFi---it sounded alright until 2000 when a patient of mine lent me his home built push pull 6550 amp designed by Dallas Clarke/Michael Nolan.. that was my epiphany and the start of my audophillia nervosa. Since then I learnt to build tube amps off the net, my first preamp was a 6sn7 SRPP and now I have my own preamp using c3g's 6Sl7 and 6g6g tubes-I designed and built it.. Ive built a 300b amp also the oddblocks and have 4 thorens td125's 1 technics sl1200 mk 1 1 sl1200 mk 2 an ar turntable and an array of home built speakers et al-- you could say tubes changed my hifi life as finally i found music reproduction that sounded right to my ears.
I am currently modding a sl1200 mk2 , incorporating the power supply mods posted here and have so many projects on the go that I am sure I will have the biggest junk sale in my suburb once i go.
i hope all of you are safe and well and thankyou to all that contribute to this site...makes my job a whole lot easier and makes me realise how many examples of true genius are helping us muggles find our way
regards to you all
