I don’t generally post pictures of unfinished gear, but this one is really exciting. It’s the new-design L4 Line Remote preamp, and this one represents quite a chunk of work for me over the last couple weeks. This kit is … Continue reading

Here’s a companion to the previous L3 phono- a DAC 2.1B with a few upgrades. This DAC got a blend of Takman metal film and carbon resistors with a few Audio Note tantalums in strategic positions. It also got a … Continue reading

Here’s the latest phono stage to leave the bench. It’s a very tricked out L3 phono stage, complete with Audio Note tantalum resistors and beefy Audio Note and Jensen coupling caps. It also sports some pretty funky solid silver wiring … Continue reading
Originally built a couple years ago as the first prototype for the new L4 design, this amp has been taken apart and put back together more times than I care to count. It has been a testbed for just about every part, tweak, and mod that the new L4 has seen in its development, and as a rule, this particular amp has improved at every step. What started off as a very nice amp is now approaching full awesomeness. Just about everything has been tweaked along the way, from power supply components to coupling caps, and most recently, swapping out the old EI core OTs for C-cores. Just when I thought I was done with this amp, Brian the Mad Scientist found a handful of Black Gates. So, guess who’s got a date with the bench one more time?
Check out the beefy new C-Cores!
It’s a beast!
Sounds as good as it looks!
