I took the plunge as I continue to investigate top of the line active preamplifiers here to understand how they interact in my system.
So far, some positive and mostly negative results in the $25K range of preamps that have passed by here over the last few months. I wanted to try the EMIA autoformer as well. After speaking with Dave Slagle, great guy and service btw, I decided on his raw pure silver stereo autoformer as he indicated this is the same one in the EMIA finished product.
This is an experiment so if it does not work out .. it is a bit of effort and the full outlay for the finished product was not expended. Besides I don't mind some DIY .
Collecting the parts and drilling and punching holes was the hardest part. So pure silver wiring, sliver RCAs and Silver Shallco military selector switch. How does it sound?
I will experiment over the coming week or so and report back if there is an interest.
