Hello,
i'am looking for a Gary Dodd Tubebuffer for a M451 but having trouble finding one overhere in Europe.
Can anyone help me out?

Greetings

If you are looking for the kit that installs in the M451 it's probably not worth your time. I have the M-901 with all the upgrades including the buffer and fortunately it had a bypass switch installed. The buffer caused a problem that no one seemed able to solve in that it caused a loud rustling sound when you used the volume control. I have very good ancillary equipment including the GR Super-Vs so when I say that I had a difficult time noticing any difference if the buffer was in or not, it wasn't because of my equipment.

Thanks Trismos, thats something to considder first.

If you are looking for a tube buffer and can install it in front of your amp, check out the iFi iTube. IMHO, more transparent than the Dodds, (or the other tube buffers I have tried).

  As good as the Dodd is and no longer available check out the buffer from response Audio, a killer IMO. Not a response Audio dealer, just impressed.

 Gary is in the process of building me a balanced upgrade tube buffer right now.  It will have Jupiter caps and his newly designed tube socket base with upgraded resisters.

You can contact Gary at: idotubes@outlook.com

How did the build go?

[mikeeastman]

Its on its way, so as I get it and burn in, I'll let you know how it sounds.

I have a Response Audio buffer I'd be willing to part with if interested.

Please do pickup an external tube pre-amp buffer if you want to try that tubey sound. 

I could go either way.
