Hi, it's a 640P that is modded not the 540.
I've had one on order since about end of July begining of August, can't wait to be honest.
The reviews on the wam and on pink fish are really very good, don't you have a really nice phono stage for sale at the minute?
I don't own one myself but I have had Jez's loaner unit at my house and listened to it. In short, it's very good and reminded me strongly of the Linn Uphorik.
The Arkless modded phono preamp is very good value. I only had the lower priced phono's to compare with and it blows them out of the water.Quote:

The 640P and 651P are the units I mod (they are identical circuitry).
You will find loads of info and reviews over on pfm and there's an "official" review on the wam... a place I'm apparently banned for life from :steam:
All the best people are banned from the Wam Jez.
Pray tell?:cool:Quote:
