I recently purchased a 2448 power supply kit with transformer. I would just like to thank you for making such a nice kit available to the DIY community. It worked out perfect for my project. The quality of the kit was top notch and it was super easy to build. I will be sure to purchase my power supply needs from you in the future. When I have enough cash I hope to try out one of your preamps as well. Thanks again. Brian T. - USA
I bought your sc1 mk2 preamps months ago. Have only opened this to set up and assemble it......amazing wont describe the sound quality, my friend...its actually awesome sounding preamp...I am more than impressed ..I have a range of new and old preamps also have many emulation preamps...but none was sweet as this pre. Best money invested. - M.Nambi, Ireland
The SC-1 pre is awesome. It is so good, no noise, very clear, nice dynamics and all that without a traffo. I'm very happy and i will recommend that unit to anyone who is serious. You have sonic perfect mic pre amps, it knocks the others off the shelf, and leaves them running a close second, but in very many cases they're two laps behind you. This is the best money I've spent this year. Thank you. Great product. - Warren, Spain
Got the preamp in and have been playing around with it. It sounds great! A captured spectrum analysis confirmed all the reviews I read about its low end and clarity, but actually hearing it was something totally different! You weren't kidding about it's beefiness, damn. After comparing it to my other preamps, the highs are so much smoother, the low end is much tighter, and the overall balance and clarity is just amazing. Thank you for a great product! - Jim Wheeler, USA
Man, am I impressed by your kits!! Fell in love with the X-12 at my first listen.. Warm, big, punchy... Im glad you guys are out there!! Keep up the good work!! - Fredrik L, Sweden
By Eddie Ciletti. With the state of today's economy, it's hard to predict (or have confidence in) the days ahead. Looking into my silicon crystal ball, your passion for knowledge and the declining value of a dollar tell me there might be a D.I.Y. kit on your holiday gift list this year. And there are a lot of reasons to love these kits: They teach us almost as much about our retail gear as they do about D.I.Y.
