tyrion Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Has anyone heard one in it's final form? I'm looking to get a phono preamp instead of using the Metric Halo ADC. I liked the early ss prototype and have always liked Craig's gear. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hopstretch Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 No one, to my knowledge. I'm supposed on the list for one of the first batch, but have heard nothing from Craig for a while.
tyrion Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Posted January 24, 2010 I sent him an email. I was hoping this was one that he was ready to go. Not sure I am willing to wait months for him to produce it, if that's the case.
tyrion Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Posted January 24, 2010 Received a response from Craig. He expects to be shipping before the SF meet in February. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hopstretch Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 He told me in November he'd be shipping in December. (New wink smiley blows, BTW.)
tyrion Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Posted January 24, 2010 He just sent an email that he would let me know when they are shipping. I'm hoping that his latest estimate of end of February is close to accurate. I'm willing to give him a month or so before buying something else.

Voltron Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Craig is bringing one to the Feb. 27 meet, as if there weren't already so many great reasons to come out here! Oh, and I get to keep the one he is bringing to try and maybe buy.
zippy2001 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I am borrowing the prototype Transcription Amplifier, which is supposed to be the same as the production model, just not as asthetically pleasing. I really like it quite a bit, it has a nice warm analog sound to it. It is detailed but not analytical. There is quite a bit of gain with 48db for MM and 72db for MC, I'm surprised how quiet it is. The only thing that I would want is an easier way to adjust the loading instead of the barrier strips.
Hopstretch Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 Good to hear. Coincidentally, I emailed Craig about it today and his response was: "Still tweaking!" Like we didn't know that...
