Think he'd be willing to do some sort of catered family style dinner for a group?

His truly good stuff is made with lots of patience and in less quantity usually. Dishes come out family style and everyone just shares.  The Butter Chicken will be the main thing, so just give him a headcount and he can make it accordingly.

I was really hoping to see Donald and possibly borrow his phono for an evaluation.  I have two new turntables incoming...one for sure, the other is in negotiation.  So would like to play with more phono sections if possible.  I'll borrow them another time...he must be going on some RIVA business I am guessing :)

Yup, RIVA duty calls. The wait will be worth it to make a better evaluation.  :)

That looks awesome Donald!  Is that the phono or the Headphone amp?
Let me take delivery of my new preamp and break it in.  Would like to do a comparison of the phono sections then :)

Thanks for building such great gear man...very very clearly a labor of love  headbang

Thanks, that's the dual-mono MM phono. The MC step-up (under construction) is another 2 chassis

Wow...that looks fascinating :)

Is there anywhere I can read about it or learn more?  How many inputs?  Step up ratios for the MC? Whose Step Up trannies will you use?  Balanced outputs for longer cable runs?

People try to bring extra IEC, RCA, XLR, cables and TRS/XLR adapters if possible.
