gosh, you are insistent but so am I.

I agree on your points for those experienced at this, but buying a PAS 3 'used' means quite a task for a novice or newbie bob24 or anybody else. I have a PAS3 and it works and I use it, so I know it well.

Just the circuit traces will give anyone who has considerable soldering experience a very hard time. Anyone who has never used a soldering iron will pull his hair out. Applying heat to those joints will loosen the traces that adhere to the board and most likely destroy them.

And then repairs to those will be necessary, a considerable task for ANYONE with no or little experience let alone a person with experience. Why a person should pursue your way when a new phono at 300+ bucks and ready to play should approach your suggestion that 'appears to have no experience'.

I still fail to see the big why (but not including the sound alone of the RIAA section of the Hafler design)

I'll let my suggestion and others stand, and we will have to see what bob24 says he does if he responds

Hi Story,
Thank you for your message. I would love to get more involved in the hobby but due to random fatigue from leukemia treatment,I need a phono pre which requires little to no tweaking as I don't always have the energy to focus. Just simple, mundane chores around the house can really wipe me out!
Again, I appreciate your contribution and all of the other members kind help.

Bob
