The story is that several people who bought the statement preamp from Evans based on the sound of this unworthy plastic now are put in the position of cuckholds by Mike the fixer.
The customer who originally bought it (for unknown price from unstated source) sent it to Evans shop for repair. The case (which is not as cheap as it may seem ) got damaged in the transit due to poor packing which is typical for Brits. They don't usually ship anything. Because the preamp is a luxury item the price for repair was high (as expected).After all 20 cents resistor change in that Audio Research "pride and Joy " have costed me $656 .
The customer refused to pay and asked Tom Evans to send the unit to Mark the youtuber fixer. Now ,Evans must be in the age bracket of AA SYLUM dwellers so he had no idea what he was getting into.
Mark the fixer reverse engineered the circuit of his statement phono stage and a Milk Cow of his little business and posted everything on that Youtube channel making a fool of an old Evans and dicks of his customers.
Now you guys who supposed to know better add to the choir of online idiots
because most probably you're on the same level of consciousness. Pickup trucks and Mac Mansions mentality is directing your audio purchases which results in the shit of your systems in general.
