Hooked the Mk V to my Bolder Cable modded to the max powersupply. Holy Moley !!!  :drool:   Stunning, the best my digital has ever sounded.   Thank you John!

Hello Bill
Glad you are getting much improved sound. BTW, I have heard nothing but good reports regarding about the EE products

Yes!   I'm using Bill's EE Minimax Phono pre.   It sounded great out of the box, but coupled with a bit of tube changes, about 100 hours of burnin, and a Black Sand Silver Ref and it is exceptional.    I've now gotta try the Black Sand on my SB3 power supply (which most likely means I'm in need of yet another BS PC ;-)

jrebman:
Yes, Bill's EE products sound great, are built like tanks (stylish ones), and truly outstanding values.

I currently have a Minimax pre with mods and NOS tubes and it is absolutely wonderful.  Phono stage is next.

Jim, who modded your Minimax pre?   

jrebman:
They are the mods that Bill offers directly to customers and are done by an engineer that Bill contracts with so you have to talk to him to arrange them.  I'm not even sure exactly what they are but involve some changes to the power supply, upgraded caps, some wiring changes and other things that allow for the use of a 12FQ7 in the buffer position, plus I had the gain on mine cut to 9 dB so it works nicely with the Signature 70 amps.
