steve Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 A while back I was having some issues with my system, (which I have since resolved with an inline volume attenuator), but while I was having these problems, Leo was kind enough to offer a loan of his P6D digital amp so I could troubleshoot my components. I accepted his generous offer, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the little mighty mite! I put it in place of my stereo duty SET300B and I could hardly tell the difference! (ok, insert your joke here) Maybe a little detail difference in the highs, but I could easily live with the digital amp! And no changing tubes either, no heat to boot!! Anyway, it was quite the device! Leo apparently put this together before the digital amp rave caught on, before other companies started mass marketing their like amps, at a lower mass marketed price. Too bad, because Leo could have cornered the market! Kelly (mobilehomeless) has one, and understandably so, wrote a glowing review of the unit, comparing it to his Moondogs, I believe. A high compliment, indeed. My main reason for this blog is to thank Leo for his loan, and to reaffirm that this is a great forum, with great people, even if we can all disagree sometimes, and even get a little hot headed. It's still a pretty good family. Heck, we put the fun in dysfunctional. Thanx again, Leo. You are truly a gentleman. Regards, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 LeoK is a top dog around here IMHO. His comments on amplifier distortion and crossover networks have been of significant assistance to many here. Nice thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 agreed! I said I'd definitely buy one if he's continue building them! Well, two..a stereo one for the KHorns, and a mono for the Belle! He'd probably end up in Stereophile with Mark! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I agree, he is a class act and makes a nice amp (I have one). Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leok Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks for the nice note Steve. One of my original purposes in making several of the amps was to use them as references. It was satisfying to have this work out that way. Also, good thing you brought this up, because I forgot (very busy week) .. I do have the amp back and in fine shape (the light pipe IS rattling around inside. Too bad you didn't see it with the light pipe in place). Very interesting shrink-wrap around the amp.

steve Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi Leo I did the vacuum seal on the amp, as I always worry when anything goes thru the mail..don't want it to get exposed to rain, and get wet! I figured that was the light pipe floating around, after I emailed yuo when I first got it.. Anyway, thanx again..and really, if you ever build any more, I'd like to purchase one. Many thanx again, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
