btw - your avatar looks to me as variation of Papa's ......... or other way around , because your is placed before - in time

 

[Cal Weldon]

Mine is 12", not sure how big Papa's is, or even what it is for that matter. His seems to glow, mine just makes dog and bird noises.

Roger Corman could have had another film career with just the titles.

[Manu]

Mucho better ...

You're wizard ...

BTW German reviewer seems to be more than happy with the XP-15 "The best phono pre I ever heard or so ..."

That means my ONO is obsolete ...

I think it's still mirrored. Notice the copyright symbol in the PSU area.

 

[Manu]

Me seems its ok now ...

well, he may not be writing like Da Vinci now, but now it's more like Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, i.e. upside down.

[luvdunhill]

mirror, rotated, same thing

 

[Manu]

Naah ... not same thing ...

Mirrored is Da Vinci style ... rotated is revolving yoga style ...



Any way thanks Chocky for clarification


BTW : painting the sixtine chapel - matter of taste, I know... - was indeed a lot of uncomfortable work ... respect ...

 

[Zen Mod]

mirror, rotated, same thing

more amusing is that mini Aleph J on output is flipped/mirrored ....

seems that Papa is revalidating his own stash in Arc .......

Manu

plain Aleph - transposed to J with two P channel jfets ;

that tiny double one ( 2sk2145) , collected from darkest Arc's shelf , is N channel ......

so - looking at pic , parts arrangement looks familiar ..... and , conclusion is that papa simply flipped other side of coin/Aleph , to accomodate N channel jfet in input LTP

ZM understand smaller Bahnhof ..........
