Ultimate VC:

Quite a few have come through and listened and 100% unanimous: Ultimate VC = good sound!

I would characterize this as a very smooth, effortless sound, with no holding back.

On the Bench
our test equipment is 24bit/192khz. The Ultimate VC pushes our measurement abilities to the limit (JFET output into 10k load):
non-inverting phase
20hz - 80khz at -0.5db
THD: 0.007%
Dynamic range: 100.7 db
IMD + noise: 0.0076%

Our next step is to install the UTS in the same chassis together with the Ultimate VC

It sees everyone is ordering these with pre-drilled faceplates. I should have these in hand in 10 days.

UTS Phono stage:

the Cinemag stepup transformers arrived today and we will be offering the UTS phono with stepup transformer option. These are friendly little critters, nice and compact in their MU-metal cans.
Should have something to report on that by next week.

OK!
