Simon (sq225917 ) had a little accident with one of his hypex regs. Luckily he had a couple of melf resistors that added up to the correct value.
Steady hands...
Sounds great....
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

😱
At least it sounds great!
For those still on waiting list and to answer many people's requests, I might get another quote for a smaller batch of assembled PCBs, but it will probably be without regulators (people are free to get them direct from Hypex).
I caught it with a fingernail, lifted the resistor and the track. Had to solder across the tracks directly to the devices.
It does sound very good.
I'll scope it out over the weekend to see how it measures.

Oh no, don't start that type of mystic rumour! Oh we're on DIYaudio.com phew, thank god for that! 😀
The correct answer should be "I don't know how it works but now I cry when I listen to Kraftwerk - there's so much more emotion in Hutter's vocodered vocal"
Simon, what's your subjective impression so far of the pre-amp? Out doing your current (guessing commercial ?) preamp, whatever that maybe, in any areas?
Got mine yesterday: Great job, perfect packing, professional service! And not to forget: Very helpful personal communication! Thanks again, Xavier, you have set up new measures!
Hi Xavier, I just received the board and regs. All look fine. Quality and packaging is excellent. Thanks 🙂
I now have all the components except the relays, I was a little too quick in ordering from Mouser and ordered the small relays from drpros BOM. Will now order the correct ones. Look forward to test with my NC400 monoblocks.
Best regards

Nat, at first I thought it a little lacking in the bass, but its not, its just super tight and offers more grip than the pre part of my integrated (a pre and power in a box, fully balanced). I took it round to underdogs and it sounds remarkable with his Ncores, I usually find the scores hard in the treble, but not with this.
Frankly it's as good as any pre I've heard -if neutrality is what you're chasing...

@ Erik777:
This should not be a problem. LM4562 can operate with a load of 600 ohms.
