2SA1968 substitution

[vertek]

2SC4686 can be replaced by C5502D. What is the replacement of 2SA1968 for gods?

[Voltron]

There is no replacement for gods. I refer you to the wielder of Mjölnir.

Can we ban this retard already?  Sure swap a PNP for an NPN, that will go great. 

So a bit of backstory for people, see this:

He runs this an sure, he's down to just one picture of my amps but he's also apparently Kerry too. 

You can thank this person (and others) for why I've stopped releasing all the new designs being worked on.

I knew the douche was strong with this one. IP ban seems right (ironic name given his theft of something else with those initials).

I don't think that a single amplifier on that page is actually purchaseable.

and the bhse insides picture is labeled wrong.

the singlepower pictures are also kind of funny these days.

[Kattefjaes]

I particularly like the Stratus with the strategically taped-over name. Legit as fuck.

How does this scam work? The solid silver seems to be the only thing that might exist for purchase.

The Single Power ES-1 for $23,000 USD cracked me up.?

[guzziguy]

He'd have to give me more than that to take it.

rare and expensive  audio equipments are popular in china and people are willing to own a machine like singlepower as their audio collection，and I'm sure vertek now is ready for the copy of headamp's bhse.

The Kerry version of the T2 is a one of piece, and I'm pretty sure Kerry won't sell it for anything less than $50k.

none of that stuff is available, including the 2 singlepower pieces. At any price. There were only 5 X es1/es2 total made, I have one, Birgir has one, and I know where 2 of the other 3 are. And that sdsxlr is also a one of piece.

[purk]

I think there are more ES1 than that.  I used to own one ...glad I got a refund from Mikhail when I had the chance.  Mikhail told me that toward the end most of his customers are from mainland China and his ES1 & SDS-XLR were selling well.  I thought Kerry also made another T2 just like his and sold it for around 18k.  

[kevin gilmore]

Kerry will have to answer that.

mikhail's biggest problem was the fact that everything out of his mouth was a lie.

every es1 burned up the hand selected tubes mikhail picked for them due to major cathode voltage violation. After that the amp is toast. There were 2 other es1 with the gas tube power supplies. One of those is known toast.

also the price of 33000 yen for the t8000 is clearly way off base, it is 550000 yen

and the website has changed!

Kerry's second t2 charged hands about 9 months ago on HF. Bundled with a 009 for 15k if I'm not mistaken.
