That was a phono preamplifier designed by a snake oil ‘audiophool’ salesman (Tom Evans) - he only sent it to Mark because the buyer asked him to for repair, and sent it with an arrogant note saying ‘you can’t fix this’ assuming that him grinding off the transistor ID’s would stop him. It didn’t.

Love this Streisand Effect tale of audiophool grift/scam of £25 k for the usual rubbish they buy cos it's 'speshul'.
🤣
Not so good wasters like "Tom Evans" are able to abuse copyright and have a good video taken down.
Support any Mend It Mark fight against this abuse.

Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch UEF
The Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch Mk II represents a significant leap forward in network audio technology and digital audio reproduction, incorporating advanced innovations first developed for our flagship Voodoo server and $65,000 PowerCell SRX line conditioner. Inside, we now house our most current Electromagnetic Cells for signal filtration, our Ultra-Low Frequency (ULF) biasing system, and our latest linear power supply technology, building upon the success of our first-generation UEF Ethernet Switch in such a way that dramatically improves every aspect of its performance to achieve unprecedented levels of digital signal purity. Audibly, these advancements translate to a noticeably expanded soundstage, enhanced resolution, and improved tonal accuracy across the frequency spectrum compared to the original UEF Ethernet Switch. Bass notes gain authority and articulation, while treble extends with airy precision, unveiling musical details that were previously obscured. With the Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch Mk II, we set another new standard for networked audio.

It’s a weird subgenre. One can spend five figures on audiophool grade gear or hunt around for the kit or diy gear that’s just a cool imo and a whole lot cheaper. I paid less for these amps than a pair of high end output tubes would have run.

Nicht, dass sich die Audiophool Gemeinde daran stören würde, aber das dürfte Tom Evans weh tun.
Er tut mir ja doch fast leid, immerhin verkauft er ein Produkt, das funktioniert. Da gibt es in der Branche ganz andere.

Ich amusiere mich ja ein bisschen, dass auf Youtube gerade mal wieder die Audiophool Welt brennt, weil ein Bastler namens Tom Evans ein copyright takedown gegen ein Reparaturvideo gemacht hat.

To explain why:
My air compressor laptop mic doesn't work on Chromium based browsers w/ noise suppression/activation threshold, it just doesn't cooperate.
And I don't want to buy hot garbage that sounds like it's treble heavy (ATH 2100X >:| )

People keep yelling "OH MY GOD AKG IS DEAD OH MY GOSH SMASNUG KILD"
But realistically...
there's 2 audiophool grade headphones they made, k612 n k701. ... idk if k371 was made b4 or post smasnug.
but smasnug made:
Buds pro, buds 2, buds 2 pro, n700nc m2 etc
These, are objectively great. Now shush B|

to trigger every audiophool- redbook cd can reproduce more frequencies than your age-related high frequency loss ears can perceive
that's not jitter you're hearing, it's bad mastering
early reissues of old stuff, especially, sucked ass.
went both ways, Heart's Heart on vinyl was a lazy, lazy release

Oh man I have OPINIONS on that audiophool bullshit
SUCH AS:
No you cannot hear frequencies above human capacity. C’mon.
No, gold cables do not make any more difference than normal copper.
The only reason vinyl sounds better is because it is mastered specially for the format.

I reckon the supposed wonder of vinyl is that it kinda forces you to take the time, perform the rituals and listen to an entire record rather than any audiophool nonsense.
I did spend an hour and a bit walking in the woods and listening to Russian Circles' Enter today. 10/10 would recommend

The encoder was mainly optimized for 48Khz audio. **Get over it**. It's 2026, resampling is free, 48Khz is the standard. 44.1Khz will work, and so will 96Khz but use 48Khz if you want the best quality.

Resampling is one of those cargo-cult audiophool myths that refuses to die.
