Title: It's finally alive!!!!
Post by: rockpassion on January 30, 2013, 04:37:07 PM

I trashed the Shunt regulator board and Eileen was great on getting me replacement parts.  I received them last week and was finally able to complete my Eros build today.  Everything checked out and I fired it up like
Doc recommends in the instructions. 

Impression...... Wow!!!  The soundstage is huge, both breadth and depth.  The bass is much tighter and deeper.  Overall everything is just so much more focused.  I have listened for 2 hours and am really impressed. 

I can't wait to couple it with the BeePre I have ordered.  I think it is going to be really outstanding compared to using my FPII with every mod.  Any feel on when the BeePre is going to be shipped???  Not that I am anxious or anything.

Thanks Doc, Paul, and Eileen.  You have allowed me to take my LP listening to a new level.

Josh finished up the manual draft last night.  I spent today feverishly hammering out the last details of the attenuator upgrade, and tomorrow will be 100% dedicated to reviewing the manual and catching any typos or errors.

On Friday, Josh and I will address any of these changes, and I will not let him leave the office until we begin shipping!
