Hey Steve,
Yes, that's me!
I got hooked on Doc's stuff after building a Seduction and Quickie. Now I've gone off the deep end with a few more (actually a lot of) Bottlehead projects including an Eros Tapehead pre for my new acquired 1506.
You probably don't remember me, but I helped run one a few of the Bay Area Head-Fi meets with Christian (Cee Tee). I certainly remember you and your awesome tape rig. Seeing and hearing your rig, along with Docs, is one of the reasons I decided to give tape a try!
Tonight I'm getting the "before" experience. I fired up the 1506 and I'm listening to some vintage 7 1/2"/s tapes using the Technics internals. My son thinks it's the coolest thing he's ever seen... and he said "I've never seen anything like that before!"
Anyway, it sounds pretty darned good, but I know I'm going to be in for a treat once I give this old beast a good overhaul and get the Eros up and running.
Sorry to derail the thread! Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be here. I know I'll have some questions for you guys after I've digested the fantastic beginners guide.
Chris
