  Now this is the construction quality I'd expect from a £25,000 piece of kit

  Put the magnet in a plastic bag to pick up the swarf then pull the bag off the magnet, saves time.

  The attention to aesthetic detail at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InPosrQT548&amp;t=950">15:50</a> and at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InPosrQT548&amp;t=1680">28:00</a> is to be commended. Cable lacing to match the original. Masterful. This is what elevates Mark to a “cut above”. 👌

  You know how some people were just born to do something? &nbsp; Cable lacing is my FAVORITE thing to do! &nbsp; &nbsp;In fact its wonderful to watch it being done.

  You remind me of a boss I once had. While in the Navy stationed on a Destroyer Escort, we were in what was known a Tropical Hours, and if you didn&apos;t have duty, you could leave the ship. Rather than go to my Navy housing home, I got a part time job at a repair shop that serviced everything just like you do. The owner was a man from a different planet. He was a gifted technician like you, and nothing could get past him. The first day there, he put me on a repair bench, and told me, if you have problems, ask me. He said this shop makes its money on time of repairs, and if you get stuck, you are costing me money. I thought about it, was brought my first piece of equipment to repair. While I was removing the covers, he came by and said, &quot; are you having problems &quot;, I said &quot; no &quot;. He left and as I was probing through some points with a scope, he came back by. He ask me, &quot; have you found the problem &quot;, I said, &quot; not yet &quot;. He told me to move over, he took the probe made 2 checks, told me, this pass transistor and two resistors are bad, change them, and grab another piece to repair. I thought he was being an ass, but come to find out, he was just that smart. I learned a lot from him.

  When I was leaving School at 15. I had a choice,car mechanic apprentice, or radio tv apprentice. My dad wanted me to be a radio tv engineer! Which in later life would have given me a much better wage,especially as electronics became so much of our life.. Guess which I chose, I was Car, Motorbike mad. Radio,Tv not so much. Boy do I regret my decision. Now retired,so nothing I can do about it now. Electronics is now just a hobby. I have to say as a Mechanic (Blowing my own trumpet) I was a natural. Some people are born to do a certain job. Me? I was born to be a mechanic. Mark! You are a natural electronics engineer. Terrific channel. Hey! Horses for course’s! 😀😀 Mark as an electronics engineer you could hold any job.But being your own boss,and enjoying what you do means so much.

  Yes I agree, this HH amp and your mod is much more applicable as to how a £25,000 pre amp should look too. I just love the cable lacing, such quality workmanship.

  Watching you doing the wire lacing told me immediately that you did an apprenticeship!

  I do love it when a board has the component values in the silk screen. Makes it much less likely to make a mistake.
