Hi Everyone, This is an easy build and very nice sounding. I listened to it again today and it is better than the SS one I use for comparison (a Simaudio Moon LP3). The sound is not as clinical as the Moon. It is warmer and smoother at least in my system. I believe the LP3 has an edge on S/N but then it is the quietest device I have ever run into with a S/N on MM of -106 dbv and -90 on LOMC. This one is the same for LOMC, but not that quiet for MM. As FYI, anything over about -80 dbv is so quiet in an audio system that the background noise in the listening room will be far higher. I design for a minimum of -90 in all my projects as that gives a really comfortable margin.

Good Listening
Bruce
