Hi all,
Just in case anyone was planning a 686 build anytime soon, please be aware that Tom will not be able to restock his current supply until autumn due to a chip shortage.
He has a few pairs left, but once they are gone, it's a waiting game.
Ive just bought a pair, and I believe there are two pairs left.
Get in quick!

Why do you need another one?

Why do you need another one? Sold my 686. Building another with some parts Angus has designed for the Power Supply. Experimental, but it has legs for a DIY product. Needed a 686 to play with and my original build didn't have enough space in the case. |

Needed a 686 to play with and my original build didn't have enough space in the case. Chasing that 1.5dB? The 686 is performance monster. That 1.5db would make little, if any difference. What could make a bigger difference is the design of the supply. Angus has ideas, I have enthusiasm, so a project has begun. It also helped get another 686 into the hands of someone without the DIY skills required. Also saved him around £800 on a Joe Henry build. That can only be a good thing. |
