I’m already taking tons of pics so’s I can remember where it all goes; And these don’t seem to come up often so...

Here’s a 910-C pre and 910-T tuna

The preamp really surprised me how good it is! In my system I swapped out the below pictured Don Sachs model 1 pre and a separate Don Sachs phono one. I can’t say it’s any better yet other than lower noise; But there certainly nothing missing or anything i dont like.

Also here’s the B-910 amp. The back panel was bent and a binding post or two was broken. For now this is the only pic i have of it assembled.

A little dusty.

Left channel nasty. Looks like a spill at some point.

Right channel not bad.

Back plate bent. Not too bad and no broken ceramic. Coulda been worse. If this thing had a good crumple zone that would be it.

That was definitely worth the effort! Amazing sound quality and dead quiet backround. I never thought i could be happy without tubes.

I’ve had some big adcoms, a bryston, and a spec-2 pioneer. I didn’t care for any of them. I think I could “live” with this setup for a looong time.
