Hello Hemmo.

No signs of mine just yet, but to be fair I'm not expecting it back until perhaps end of next week. The loaner P50SA has blown me away with how good the mods are though, I just hope my personal one will be as good when I plug it all back in - I'm sure it will be :pray:

Hi,
My P50SA arrived back earlier in the week but only had a chance to check it out yesterday. To say I'm chuffed is an understatement. Upon opening the box it was like unpacking a brand new item which was a really nice touch, as are the gloves.

Streaming from my NAS, first up was Kyuss - Blues for the red sun, then Danzig - III How the gods kill, before switching to vinyl and cranking Poison Idea - Feel the Darkness.

None of these are audiophile recordings blessed with huge amounts of recording budget thrown at them and listening yesterday was the best I've ever heard them. More clarity and presence in vocals and separation of the players in the band.

In use, the new SA is really nice when setting the volume, over the years I'd got use to the old one but have to admit it is nice not to have the crackles.

Cheers Slinger

I had the opportunity to run through some more vinyl today, some Denim and Leather - Sacred Autism, this sounded immense, more depth and umph to rhythms and riffs and vocals cutting through.
