and saw the original video this morning. All I can saw is WOW! I can't believe how bad the inside looks. This looks like a prototype and like a young kid in High School for a class project built it. To charge that kind of money and build that!
The Repair guy was awesome and did a great job repairing the Phono Preamp and case.
For that kind of cash, way more thought and time should have been put into this phono preamp. He would have been better putting metal shield covers over all the pcb's. If I was the owner of that unit I would be so pissed but I would never spend that kind of money any single piece of audio gear.
And people give Schiit a bad rap for the looks of their gear, but look inside and they are well thought out and designed. I rather suppose them that someone like TE.
