1- The NOH case looks better - at least ...[/quote]
All the way from the UK... I saw a brief report on building a passive pre and contacted John direct. I admit at first with a little trepidation (anyone remember the first Sonic Frontiers kits?) However the immediate response, helpful tone and absolute "can do" attitude completely swayed me. Within hours we were sorted boxed and travelling
Now I have had some equipment in the 20 years or so I have been in Hi Fi (I used to be a dealer!) but I can assure you that not only did the WBFH love the case and style,,,,, but the sound... oh the sound... The little beauty had just austed a SP10 and an SP11 mk11 - both legends without any effort whatsoever and slotted into my pig system (art 1 phono, V140 ARC VTM120 SE etc - Sonus Faber Extrema - need I say more...) and has blowm me away on vinyl and CD - and all my mates....
Transparent, tonal colour, smooth, gain, flexible, REMOTE, PRETTY, Nuff Said....
Order for MC step up coming up - along with another two orders from the UK
John - if you need a dealer over here ---- let me know..
Special and a pleasure to deal with...
Dont hesitate folks - this is the best kept secret I have ever come across...
