Excellent Nick,:):D:cool:
 
Yes, there are 2 balanced outputs, one differentially balanced and the other, transformer balanced.
 
Studer never sounded so good like this ! No kidding.

Nick is very nice to fly half the globe to do a direct headout and optimize his head pre for me.

They look like the black panels that Fred sells.

I have lots of extra A820 parts if anyone needs them!!

Thank you for all the kind words.

I just took the wooden panels off and had them automotive painted black. Havent done the glass coating yet though :D.
The brown leather strip was also changed to black porsche grade leather...maybe should have gone Alcantara :p.

Kind regards,
Tang
