| Paul Hynes Excuses to deliver the power supply SR7 , I Lost my money Are you going to start all that whining here too? What's your point? This won't get your money back. You were given suggestions on CA but chose not to follow them. Please don't pollute this forum too. | |
| Jolida Fusion Preamp It is a nice pre with this mod. Sweet sounding, more authorative than the stock unit. Most of the mod is caps and resistors upgrades.I just happen to have one now in the listings if you care to take a look. | |
