Its funny how I was recommended this immediately after watching Louis Rossmann's reupload of it, the Streisand effeet is certainly in full force and Tom will never be able to stop it.
Love love love it. The gift that keeps on giving - Tom, admit it. You're attach on Mark is a public relations disaster - globally. I m in singapore and your response is even headlines here amongst the electronic community. Bite the bullet and humbly backtrack else your products will be even rarer. You'll be making fewer.
Tom Evans charges 25K for a preamp built with a bunch of .49 cent op amps you can buy on Temu ... hilarious , no wonder he tried to stop the video... now it is everywhere on the internet , the guy ruined his own reputation ...
PS: great work on reverse engineering that!, transistors easy with a component detector, but those IC's must have taken some figuring though I suppose you can assume op-amps most of the time.
You pay £10k extra for the time taken to grind the part numbers off. This is a good example of the big 'high end' audio con. What many fail to realise is all the 78xx, 317, 308k breed are poor regulators when driving loads operating across the audio frequency spectrum, you can find it in old datasheets, thats why the real top end manufacturers stayed clear of them and went with bespoke regulator circuits. This Tom Evans guy doesnt really understand components by the look of it. Don't get me wrong, they are good enough for most, but if you pretend its high end, you really have to eliminate any imperfections at that price and go silly with spec to justify its silly cost.
I think Tom Evans Audio Designs would have charged 1800 pounds for the fix (if they could have actually done it; I think they said no one else could do it). What do you think?
More support for Mark. This repost supports him and all other who are in the audio repair. Thanks from Canada.
Thank you for helping out Mark and the repair / audio community.
Tom Evans didn't want the world to see what a rip off their equipment is. Build quality is terrible. Sorry Tom, the Genie is out of the bottle.
When I watched the original video from M.I.M in fell of the carpet. Mr. Evans, what a cheek or what ! Twenty Five "WHAT"

Great job on re-uploading the video 👍👍👍
Comment to help the algorithm. The more folk see Marks video the better!
A comment of support and thanks to Tom Evans for defining schadenfreude to a T

Yet another one!! LOL TH-cam, you paying attention??
Tantalum re-upload FTW.
Great work Mark.

Has Barbara Streisand watched this video?? 😼
Yes, more pre-amp please!!!

What do you think?
I heard it was 5-6000 lbs?
