Re: My DIY gear
Thank you. I will. I’ve had the itch for a long time. I see how Nelson Pass is such a huge resource for the DIY community as well as a brilliant designer, I respect him more and more every day.

Re: My DIY gear
Got another DIY pre amp on the go at the moment, also from DIY Audio, this time class A single ended.
Gain of 14dB.

I have (or had) the top 5 from this list but none of the others LOL. Those 5 are only OK for me, none are albums I would recommend. obviously from the amount of music I have acquired in the past...
