don't forget the cardboard 😂🥲

I didn't know about the through hole rivets. I have learnt something new.

Loved the dead CAP at the end. Brilliant. Oh that you were in Australia. Sigh. Mike in Oz

250 bucks i pay for it.....

I would give this video five likes if I could.

The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

Build quality is a dog's dinner. That thing ain't worth 250 quid, let alone 25000. I'm barely an amateur and I admit some of my earlier perfboard builds looked as rubbish, but I'd be ashamed to ask for any money for something that was so poorly made. There are so many sins in this, but cheap, flimsy nylon standoffs in gear at this price point? Anfaddeuol!

Just found your channel. I know nothing about electronics, but I sit transfixed watching you at work and your expertise as you bring these pieces of equipment back to life. I think £25000 for a pre amp like this is a bit of a joke. How does he sell these things? Who buys them? I believe it`s a case of the kings new coat and are sold to people with more money than sense. He tried to set you up to fail on this repair and the fact you did it must be a blow to his ego. Keep the videos coming.

This is a perfect example of a shoddily built, vastly overpriced piece of equipment.

He also does involved cosmetic stuff? Wow!

I hope this clever, patient dude makes good money

I like how the thin strips of cardboard are used as packing around the exterior frame and sides. It really adds to the premium feel of the whole thing... 😆After seeing this, I can imagine there'd be some pretty disappointed customers out there.

Thanks for reuploading - only just come across MiM and I absolutely love it, purely I think because I haven't got a clue what he's talking about but................... crucially, it is interesting and he keeps me interested. As for this Tom Evans Garbage, which make no mistake it is, £25k for this is criminal and so, is his unfounded copyright strike. .................. 'shimmed with pieces of cardboard',,,,,,,

"Has that homemade feel to it." LOL

mend it mark, in these times of obsolescence it is incredible how you do magic with your knowledge saying there is a solution or at least let's try it and you make our day! Good luck!

02/01/2025 I will be building another circuit board this weekend to expand the system to 32 MIDI channels so that I can connect up all the other bits of synth gear I use.

As a pro sound engineer . I can honestly tell you the biggest joke in the industry are audiophiles. A fool and his money are easily parted .

Excellent job Mark.

Typical audiophile daftness

There is nothing as pleasant as the truth that a technician gives you / No hi ha res tan agradable com la veritat que et dona un tècnic👋👋👋

You know you have support for right to repair when the likes of iFixit and Louis Rossmann have your back and re-upload the video and let it go...Tom Evans is a clownshoe...the repair community rounds up the wagons and supports the repairers and it's glorious to see.

Temu product 🤣🤣🤣🤣 real price $70 and I'm taking a risk🤣🤣🤣

Watched this before, love this guy. He is a really clever electronics person.

Definitivamente el costo de ese equipo no se justifica en ningúno de los criterios en el que pueda ser evaluado. Materiales pésimos , poca calidad , espaciadores baratos , mal acabado , por todos lados lo que se ve es un intentó desmedido del ahorró. Una baratija china viene mejor .

Hello from the USA 🙂 As a retired electronics tech/repair man, who still fixes things for myself and friends... I can say with confidence that your repair skills are top tier. Best I have seen on RUclips. Love your technique for finding the shorted cap, with a thermal camera. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this video. Best wishes for your continued success.

Thanks for re-uploading 🙂. All these audio-phoolery snake-oil-sellers seem not to have heard of the Streisand effect. LOL

Gracias por el vídeo, muy interesante. 😊

40:20 ¿Habeis visto que ha escrito el logo de China Export en vez de Conformidad Europea? ¡No se puede ser más chapuzero!

Mastergroove gets Mark's masterclass treatment. Brilliant - thanks for posting.

But what is it?? Lego? My god the audio companies themselves should intervene!! it's an insult to the HIGH END

Waste of money!!!

Music by Khruangbin, props on the repair Mark 👏

Ogni frase o descrizione del ampli.é una pugnatata.Bravo.

is the code for this open source?

Thanks for reupload !!

Excellent !!! The true over money !!

nice game, if you want to add sfx you could use a speaker or buzzer or something.

What in the Barbra Streisand is going on in here?

Gracias por decir la verdad 👍, saludos desde tierra azteca.

👍👋🇲🇽

No wonder he wanted the video taken down when he’s charging twenty five grand for this utter shambles. What a disgrace.

Loving the final audiophile disco schmaltz test run. It really captures the quality of this monstrosity. The tech Mend it Mark is as skilled as he is humorous.

$25K for a tin of sweetcorn?

Well done Tom, we love your work 🤣

I'm a retired Electronics Engineer. Nice job on the repair. Hope it survived the trip back to the customer. International shipping can be tough on any kit. I hope it had a metal flight case. I''m not a fan of those nylon stand-offs. Nothing wrong with them in normal use but if the kit is dropped the tall stack can move like a tower block in an earthquake.

He might have been better off using a fancy Italian name like.... Amp-o-ghini to help justify the exuberant price tag. Glad it's been exposed for what it is. Mend it Mark is a top guy and that's an understatement.

And don't forget the rugby and the great singing, at least yesteryear.

As a very young child, I spent several months in Wales as an evacuee from London after surviving being buried under rubble of our house which was demolished by a V1 flying bomb in August 1944, I mention this so that I do not receive any adverse comments from Welsh readers, both my grandmother and me received help and support from the people of Cardiff for which we were both grateful.

it's getting richer. There is now an article on 'Heise Online' which details everything that went on, not only that but Heise Online seems to have managed to contact Tom Evans. Evans gave a few little explanations. *Google: Streisand-Effekt: Streit über Reparaturvideo von teurem Phono-Verstärker - Heise online* there you'll see the article which I would recommend having translated by chatGPT (it's too long for regular google translate (chatGPT does an excellent job of translation, it's very accurate (sometimes tiny errors occur but they are fairly rare and trivial)). You'll see Evans remarks to his issues etc. _"Tom Evans erklärte auf Nachfrage gegenüber heise online"_ It sounds like Heise online was also in contact with Mend it Mark (Maher). See translated article.

A genius at work bordering on magic 'or even maybe' my ability with amps switch on switch off ' then I use phone to ask for help'
