Eddie Current Transcription Amplifier (Phono Pre)

Featured Replies

Has anyone heard one in it's final form? I'm looking to get a phono preamp instead of using the Metric Halo ADC. I liked the early ss prototype and have always liked Craig's gear. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No one, to my knowledge. I'm supposed on the list for one of the first batch, but have heard nothing from Craig for a while.

He told me in November he'd be shipping in December. ;)

(New wink smiley blows, BTW.)

He just sent an email that he would let me know when they are shipping. I'm hoping that his latest estimate of end of February is close to accurate. I'm willing to give him a month or so before buying something else.

When did you get a Metric Halo? Everyone is in on that fun.

Craig is bringing one to the Feb. 27 meet, as if there weren't already so many great reasons to come out here! Oh, and I get to keep the one he is bringing to try and maybe buy.

I am borrowing the prototype Transcription Amplifier, which is supposed to be the same as the production model, just not as asthetically pleasing. I really like it quite a bit, it has a nice warm analog sound to it. It is detailed but not analytical. There is quite a bit of gain with 48db for MM and 72db for MC, I'm surprised how quiet it is. The only thing that I would want is an easier way to adjust the loading instead of the barrier strips.

Good to hear. Coincidentally, I emailed Craig about it today and his response was: "Still tweaking!" :D

Like we didn't know that...
