It is a unit that Doc took in part exchange. He's 'given it' to the HFS forum members to pass around, compare to their own phono stages and write up findings.

Not exactly, I have given it to no one as I have never had it. It went direct from the owner in Germany to classicrock, who reviewed it, and he passed it to savvypaul. I was offered it by a German customer in exchange for a 2nd PSU. I thought why not, but knowing the bollocks and lies that would be talked about me per usual I have deliberately avoided any contact with it as I know I will be accused of interfering with it.
