Obviously awarding a piece of gear as a prize would be pretty pointless. :lol: Unless, perhaps, someone has an old Sanyo boombox buried in the closet. ;)
I've heard so many (especially manufacturers) say, "that's impossible". In reality, it's improbable, not impossible. The improbable doesn't matter to some folks. This work is a testimony to that.
Very well deserved "thread of the year" - and still amazing to read again! I hope we haven't seen the last of you or your efforts Erik! :)
Wow, a mightily impressive job indeed. Well done Erik!
No expense spared - First time I've ever seen a £200 Duelund Cast Cap used in any diy project, top drawer sir:

Good show,

Have just come to this thread as "thread of the year".
I am absolutely speechless with wonder and amazement. :eek: . I can only imagine how your kit sounds, Erik, but can see how beautiful it is - built with a craftsmanship very rarely seen. This is truly outstanding!
Just stunning, beautiful Industrial Design. The Copper and Ebony is just lovely!
:king:
Thanks for the Thread of the Year Status guys...:)
Sorry that I am not keeping up-to-date but I am busy building and listening..
In the mean time I have received my AudioNote Silver Interstages (7 months waiting) and the copper in oil caps for my 2 dac chips.
No need to say that there was a substantial improvement :lol:
Here a few pics...and please have a listen to the Saint Saens Piano concertos they are heaven to listen to...:piano:
It's nice to see you back again, Erik. Do keep feeding us your build photos, it's fascinating and humbling to see what can be achieved if you really try hard.
And very well deserved it is too Erik, you are a master craftsman sir :clap: :respect:Quote:

For what it is worth I had a private shootout with a audiobuddy with a respected Kondo M7 and in the end it was a draw...maybe it gives you a bit of an idea.
I got inspired by Kondo so I am triggered again....this time to listen to tube rectification....first impression is a go ahead. Keep you informed:)
Erik, when do you sleep, or don't you:lol::D
