[Deleted member 79865]

Hi members
Recently built this clone phonostage with help of two audio legends in Pune, Sann and Lele Kaka...
Sounds real and fantastic...having Telefunken...Mullard...and Telefunken tubes in V1..V2..and V3 positions respectively...Clone needs to be clone , so matched the looks with Lyrita pre and power amp..on the rack.These two legends are the creators I am simply follower and listener.

Enjoy listening to the vinyls with all valve chain and Altecs.
Regards
sann

Dear Sushant...Mine is MM. Pl go ahead and press 'order' button...Do not hesitate if you are already in possession of good tubes..and sound I can tell you with Altecs it sounds amazing, like never before experienced midrange, black background and exceptional detailing..Once you get it I will PM you tweaking details that I learnt from Sann..
