Can't stop the Malkjos!

Boom. It's "modificated". Awwww snap!!

Does it contain real transformators and capacitators?

:wink:

I don't have much time for Malkjos... but at least his front panels "look" better these days... I wonder if he's still soldering with a cigarette lighter??

Justin.

I'm still reporting him for key-word spamming, copyright infringement and in general for being a tinky ba***rd.

I feel sorry for anyone paying money for this sort of stuff - the original design may have been fantastic, but it is likely that the build quality will be severely lacking.

I heard he has moved his complete production to China now - less no-smoking areas & such :twisted:

I asked him to show me some more pictures (he didn't send inside pics)

Look at the rear pic !

That's really a mess ! (repeat for each connector)

I bet he even tried to mount the fuseholder tilted ! :?

Chanel A and Chanel B? Are those perfume outputs?

I hope so, because the rest of his work really stinks....<groan>.

I understand that English isn't his first language, but there is no excuse for that these days. I failed highschool German but would still know enough not to label my outputs "linkisch" und "rechtfertigung".

How do you have 16 positive transactions but your feedback score is only 9??

:razz:

I have to say, that looks shit. Can you see the gap above the power socket? The burred screw heads? Poor spelling (come on....). It looks dangerous!

[quote author="ciminosound"]How do you have 16 positive transactions but your feedback score is only 9??[/quote]

Your feedback "score" may vary because this varies even if someone does not leave any feedback (maybe 7 people did not levae feedback).

[quote author="ciminosound"]How do you have 16 positive transactions but your feedback score is only 9??[/quote]

Your feedback score only reflects the number of other users leaving feedback. So if one user leaves you positive feedback 10 times, it only shows as one in your feedback score. It makes it a little harder to fake feedback counts.

Yes, beware of a big discrepancy between number of transactions and number of feedback comments. Many people are reluctant to leave negative feedback due to fear of retaliatory feedback affecting their own ratings, so dissatisfied customers may leave no feedback at all. Consider it a "silent warning."

That's why it is a good idea to have two ebay accounts: one for selling, one for buying. If a seller gives me a negative rating in revenche, no problem. I can even buy with 50% negative rating, but my selling account stays clean.

To stay on topic: Even my first diy looked better then this one.

I know the gear would be crap - but on it's own merits, I quite like the look of that back panel??!!

Sort of cool in that "junk art" kinda way!! Perfectly inperfect.

One would doubt whether he managed to wire the mains-connector correctly. I'd check before plugging in !
Or even worse, not unlikely one of those XLR-3's is actually the mains-connector.... :twisted:





enough

Ahh didn't look close enough, multiple positive feedback from the same customer only count as one. I knew that, haven't done ebay in a few years.

Looking at that back panel made me sea sick. {vomit}

All this confusion just begs for this link, have a look :grin:

ME :

Dear vojamite,

Hi,

I would like to know what are the differences between your version and the "real one" ?
Is this a clone ? How are the sound and the behaviour ? (In comparaison with the original version ?)

Is it possible to have pics of the inside ?

Best regards,

Eddie


HIM :

My 1176 is clon of 1167 (original) by Gyraf clon
chek email for inside pics

- vojamite


ME :

I found the Gyraf web site. It looks great...
Did you build it by yourself ?
Do you garantee it's fully working ? (No buzz, no hum...)
By the way, I haven't received the pics.

Thank you,

Eddie


HIM :

Compressor is working fine. If you want send me some audio file and I'll compress it and compare with original for BUZZ or HUM


ME :

Hi,

I'm very surprised you haven't seen the following on the Gyraf-DIY-webpage :

"Please read this first!!

Actually, after typing your name in Google, I'm not surprised anymore ! You're "a veritable star" in a lot of audio-pro forums ! What a great reputation you have ! And your soldering skills are astonishing !

Shame on you...

Eddie
