25,000£ Audio Pre-amp Repair Copyright Strike SCAM & how to get better schematics!

[@themellonfactory]

Original repair video reposted by another channel: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3uWZqicis1litk

[@MoreReneRebe]

OMG is that shady build quality and overall circuit design. There are literally better designs in the book I held in the camera ;-)

[@natb9121]

I saw the video being referenced, and I have designed and worked on audio equipment. The mistake Mark made was removing the cover and exposing the joke inside for which some people have paid 25K. This obviously raised the ire of the manufacturer. YT is, typically, way out of line going along with such nonsense. There is no valid reason for the strike against Mark - all he did was open up the amp and repair it. And, it probably cost more to do that than the amp is ACTUALLY worth.

[@jamesplotkin4674]

It was the manufacturer who sent the device to Mark and they knew he showed his work on KZbin, but still gave him shix.

[@Britephartt]

I saw this video on Mark's channel before it was deleted. I feel like I saw the Beatles play live. There's been a great response to the appalling copyright strike.

[@fredfred2363]

I love that all us electronics designers are coming out of the woodwork and giving our 2p worth in the comments!

🫶 Right to Repair - Schematics & Boardviews!🖖

[@twocentman]

Right to repair yes. Schematics no. Do you really think that development takes a view days ? In what world are you living. Cheers.

[@MoreReneRebe]

@twocentman of course schematics for repair. They mostly use orig vendor reference examples anyway. Do you really think not publishing schematics stops competitors reversing it when just reusing IC databook examples is cheaper ?

[@ParabolicLabs]

@@twocentman I can reverse engineer a pretty complex board into schematics in less than a day and I'm not even an EE. Schematics are not the problem you think they are.

[@andy70d35]

@@twocentman Is your head up your ass?, china would have reversed engineered that pile of crap long ago.

[@OldSkoolF]

Thank you for addressing this.. Shady company trying to keep its lies in the dark.

[@SlinkyD]

My brother got a washing machine and dryer set from 2008 with scematics on the back. Saw it when helping him paint a few rooms. Yes I convinced him to never get rid of them, and if he does want to, I get them.

[@TLang-el6sk]

The original video was uploaded to Odysee and in the mean time dozens of times to YT again. Streisand effect in action 😀

[@lordofelectrons4513]

I saw this video this guy knows electronics and knows what he is doing. He on his own worked out the schematic diagram of the equipment and made his own original artwork. The one and only reason the manufacture of the pre-amp is attacking this guy is because he exposed that it is rather dodgy. The equipment is in no way worth the price.

[@kenp9073]

This video has now been re-upload across YT and other platforms. Louis Rossman has a dare out to this "manufacturer." Mark is an amazing electronics repair tech. This "manufacturer" days are numbered. Streisand effect in high gear.

[@kineahora8736]

I wouldn’t call that high-end. The piece of crap he repaired was actually just overpriced. Not high-end

[@MoreReneRebe]

Agreed 💯 the book I recommend has more high end designs 🖖

[@G-ra-ha-m]

@@MoreReneRebe Tom's design was nothing special, and the implementation very clumsy. He's just trying to hide - Look at the inside of his Linear A amplifier, it's the same tangled mess, and the same plastic standoff, in the same hideous case as the PSU.

[@anonymouscoward9643]

back in the 80s you could still get nation semi LH0066/LH0033 op-amps with slew rates in the 6,000/1,500V per uS - excellent things to hook ADC/DACs to…

[@MartinPGrindrod]

I seem to remember LH0032 was the opamp and wasn't LH0033 a unity gain power output stage? They were amazing devices and quite large package as they dissipated a lot of heat. They were mil spec approved parts which is where I came across them - and used them for video processing

[@AlexHitchins]

Good comment regarding enjoying the music/content over the technology used to listen.

[@costarich8029]

You can't argue with audiophiles, but you sure as hell can laugh and expose the scams they fall for.

[@philippkemptner4604]

You can't argue with audiophiles, it's not about the music, it's more about being in a cult.

[@jabezhane]

They will never beleive that making cable is huge dirty industrial scale work. A cable is made in the lengths of kilometers at a time. To make a cable that costs more than $0.20 a meter is just not viable. That $5000 a meter speaker cable probably was originally designed for a CAT scanner at pennies a meter in China or Poland. These little Audiophile companies do not have huge smelting works and metalurgists working away behind the office.

[@Tetsaraku]

To me it seems that they listen to their equipment, not the music…

[@alanjhargreaves]

It makes me very happy to see all of that Sun kit in the background.

[@MoreReneRebe]

I regular use it and support SPARC w/ T2/Linux ;-)

[@yetanotherjohn]

THIS IS WHY WE INTERNET!

[@carpandrei7493]

He wasn't even been that critical on the product... That phono pre-amp deserved way more criticism than Mark gave it, especially taking into consideration the price.

[@MoreReneRebe]

True. I had not found the full video when I ordered this.

[@alanjhargreaves]

On the subject of headphones; for bang for buck, I've been very happy with my Sennheiser HD 280n Pros.

[@turdwarbler]

Well done for bringing this to more peoples attention. Tom Evans Audio is a scam artist.

[@MarkBaker-xi1qt]

I have always been able to hear the difference between different brand phono stages on modest systems. Good hearing is like eyesight - not everyone has 20/20 vision. If you can't hear differences then please don't make the assumption that everyone else is the same - High end audio is obviously a complete waste of money for those who only hear massive differences.

[@MoreReneRebe]

I always have been able to hear lossy Bluetooth codec compression

[@motionthings]

Rossman said he would upload the video on his channel

[@MoreReneRebe]

💯🖖

[@gizzzmonic]

not yet

[@PeteC62]

It's up now, along with an intro inviting the manufacturer to sue him 😂

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

Matt moran has uploaded the original video

[@john8451]

“Allegedly from the manufacturer?”. Really? It was from the manufacturer. His name was on the youTube message saying that the video had been taken down.

[@MoreReneRebe]

Do you think I want to get sued? ;-)

[@john8451]

@@MoreReneRebe You can’t be sued because when you try to view the video the youTube message actually names the person who has reported it for copyright infringement.

[@john-r-edge]

I have seen YT vids talking about "Super Capacitors" - with applications like a capacitor bank to replace a car battery etc. Caps physically as big as a 100ml tin of Red Bull. Would those be electrolytics - chosen for high "Joules per Litre" ?

[@DiegoCorderoSolano-hl9dg]

Wich are your favorite musicians/bands?

[@MoreReneRebe]

Tori Amos, Polyphia, lots of other old and new, from Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea, Dream Theater, ... What's yours?

@@MoreReneRebe interesting I didn't expected that. In my case my favorites are Rolling Stones, Bod Dylan, Paco de Lucía and Leonard Cohen. I'm 24 but I like old music. I will check the ones you said, I know just Tori Amos and Chick.

[@anonymouscoward9643]

the sonys are great $75 cans - akg was a waste

[@DelticFilm]

AKG used to me amazing before Harman took them over. My Sony WH-1000XM4 were not good, very disappointing sound, and fell apart after a few months use, and Sony wouldn't repair. I'm now a new convert to Austrian Audio, amazing sound and build quality, I now have two pairs of them!

[@k9eof]

I bet he still have the video. I hope he uploads it on twitter for educational purposes.

[@reinerfranke5436]

Louis Rossmann propose to upload it for him again. There are also more promises, but look.

[@EuroScot2023]

The video is being re-uploaded to YT by multiple posters. YT not even commenting and Tom Evans only appearing under pseudonyms in the comments. Typical of rip-off merchants and snake oil salesmen.

[@RobertKohut]

Bad KZbin, bad!!

[@MoreReneRebe]

Don’t ya feel the bass? ;-)

[@HalRockwell]

Saying the HD660S2 isn't that much better than the Sony 7506 made me suspicious. You should get your hearing checked.

[@MoreReneRebe]

My hearing is pretty fine.

[@stephencharlton2024]

oh dear this is a mess please do not post until you have have some sort of a scrip

[@boombeet678]

Well done mess (if it is one) I'd say, but regardless, in my eyes you can still have a script and get quite off track/have that script itself be quite all over the place. Certainly helps but even written stuff (such as this comment I'm posting for example) get quite redundant or lack clear flow in terms of one idea to the next or organization, I'm personally hoping I get it right myself one day since even with multiple lookovers in the moment I read something back a few hours later to see how it actually was... yeah.

[@jessiepooch]

Punctuation is free.

[@a2Flisa]

Can someone, please explain, how the reposts are not taken down by YT? I thought it was not allowed to just plain copy and repost another video??? I am am all behind Mark, 🧰🛠️👍 but I am just curious!

[@MoreReneRebe]

Where there is no complaint, there is no action.

[@a2Flisa]

@MoreReneRebe Ok! Thanks for reply explaining! 💕
