I'm the one that started it, so it's my fault. Pat just responded to my intial post.
I'm the really bad man here. Neither Pat or I said anything of any personal nature, involving
any specific forum member. There's better ways of conveying critique, but i'm not the type to pussy foot around and put on a smile for you. I'll leave that to my mom, she's good at that. I'm not.
JPK was preparing to respond, until the whole thing turned into a school yard.
My apologies for being grumpily concerned. If Pat's 'allowed' to be grumpy, so am I.
Besides that, i'm a very good hearted chap, but you wouldn't know that over the internet.
Nice little pre, but i'm still concerned about the tightness at +70 gain. Other pre's also use a seperate board for the higher gain levels, such as Chameleon 7602. So, i must not be crazy when reading it from engineers who worked at Neve and observing other manufacturers following that idea also. Maybe it's not a big concern?
I would've been interested in some of these 500's, possibly, if hadn't started with Martin's boards already.
Cheers JPK. It's your thread, as it was in the beginning.
