Firstly, I need to say that I have been in touch with Oliver before listing, as he has his Neurochrome Modulus 686 listed as well. The reason I am listing mine is I am interested in purchasing his, so I am adding a little choice to the forum. Oli's build, is an upgrade and update on my build, which I purchased from him 18 months ago. Some of the words below are from Oli, when he originally described it to me when I purchased from him. And, being lazy, the photos are from him too! Rest assured, it is in the same condition now as then, and has the advantage of WBT, gold platted pure copper nextgen RCA sockets, which he added before it came to me. Please ask if you would like more photos
I have owned this for about 18 glorious months.
Originally bought directly, assembled by Tom Christiansen, of Neurochrome.....the man himself!
It was in standard form for around 10 months (SMPS, XLR inputs etc) and then Angus (Phonomac) and Oliver rebuilt the power supply, binding posts and signal inputs (RCA).
It has a custom wound Toroidy Audio grade Transformer, Mundorf filtering caps and OCC wiring on the signal input. Pure copper minimal mass binding posts, that are absolutely horrible to look at, but they sound superb. As long as you have banana plugs on your speaker wire, you'll be fine.
It has Angus's unique power supply, which is far better than the usually supplied circuit for these tasks.
Fitted since photos taken a pair of gold plated, solid copper WBT next gen RCA sockets
A fantastic build of a wonderful amplifier
It is very heavy and due to the limited internal space, the caps are glued to the bottom panel. No room for any other method, so postage is not going to happen
Based in Swindon Wiltshire, close to M4 and mainline rail, if you are feeling strong!
Unfortunately, if Oli sells his before mine I will be withdrawing this from sale.
Price £1700
