The main IC's are available, it's not too complicated in the power supply. Physical parts, I'd just have them made.
Kuzma Stabi/S 12", (LP12-bastard) DC motor and optical tacho psu, Benz LP, Paradise (phonostage). Imac m1, gustard A18dac, Bruno Putzeys balanced pre, neurochrome 486 dual mono amps, Yamaha NS1000m with raal ribbons
The only problem I can find with my DDX-1000 are the rubber feet. They are slowly disintegrating. A guy in the US makes a set of metal replacements, which I'll probably end up ordering one of these days.
