- For the ones who knows, they know. And maybe it's just to get a few views on my channel (-:. But he inspired me to go deeper in details for restoring my old boomboxes, not just cleaning and tape repair.
Thank you Mark!
Now, trying it in germany, were on top for Copyright claim's (-:
And here it is: 42:53 to 43:03, he shows the music on his oscilloscope...
But it has no effect on the video.
Hello everyone watching this video on my little yt channel, showing some boomboxes or other boring stuff, mostly uncut and i dont get one cent per view, its just a hobby.
I'm speechless, cant find any words for more than thousand (1466 at the moment) views since saturday, over 150 hours watchtime and 211 likes. This video is online for one and a half day now... cant believe it.
So thank you for everyone watching this video, for comments, likes, jokes, ``supporting Mend It Mark´´ or what ever and please be kind to everyone (-:
And merry christmas
I will not look the whole video again, I am just here for the comment and then I will let it run til the end in the background - just for the algorithm - lets spread it!😉
Thanks (-:
same
me too
Yeah that's what I do as well! I've seen this video at least a dozen times now, including Mark's own upload.
Just keep the Algorithm happy 🥰
I thought I'd found all the reuploads until this one popped up!
How many reuploads are online? (-:
@@CoockieClassiCKeks at the moment at least a dozen, but theres 1 to 2 new upload everyday. and i take a great pride to let the video run in the background to give it the maximum of exposure. F them Tom Evans audiofools design
@@CoockieClassiCKeks Currently about 21
I have 4 running simultaneously at the moment
@@jtaylor8606 It would be nice to get this video on in HQ (-:
Thanks for re-uploading and supporting Mend It Mark.
Rumour has it that Tom Evans now spends his days listening to Streisand albums through his cruddy pre-amp.
I recommend her rendition of "Memorys" from Cats!
Harsh but fair.
I just LOVE how the Internet has pushed back on Mr Evans' ill thought through action against Mark's upload. A public relations disaster so great that the Streisand effect will be renamed the Tom Evans boom
Thats what the ``internet´´ can do (-:
The Tom Evans video amplification.
This is gonna become a beloved Xmas classic!
Move aside, Jimmy Stewart!
nice one. Those boards look like mock ups I would have made during my youth before I went into electronic engineering. The mess I made in my folks kitchen making pcbs.
My thoughts. Not what I expect to see when EMI shielding and layout seem important. And especially not what I expect to see for 25k.
@Ratzfourtyfour . As they say, 'A fool and his money are easily parted'. After spending 25k, it would be crucial to spend a long time trying to convince your ears that it sounds better.
If it were not for this fiasco I would never have discovered what the Streisand effect is.
Crazy how much work Mark is putting into this.
I had an idea just for feeding the algorithm with something of volume without being boring and asked ChatGPT for help:
Recipe: Grilled Transistors, Flambéed Resistors, and Steamed Capacitors
Perfect for an electrifying dinner party!
Ingredients:
6 fresh transistors (preferably NPN for a crispy texture)
4 large resistors (variable ohm range for that smoky flavor)
3 juicy capacitors (electrolytic or ceramic, as you prefer)
A splash of high-voltage battery acid (for flambé purposes)
A pinch of thermal paste (for marination)
A dash of solder flux (for seasoning)
For the Beilagen (sides):
LED Salad: Mixed red, green, and blue LEDs tossed with conductive copper wire vinaigrette
Baked Circuit Board Chips: Crispy PCB slices, sprinkled with ground silica and salt
Battery Acid Reduction Sauce: A tangy, slightly shocking glaze
Preparation:
Marinate the Transistors:
Smear the transistors with a generous layer of thermal paste. This ensures they stay cool under high grilling temperatures and remain semi-conductive. Let them rest for 10 minutes, but be sure they don’t short-circuit their emotions.
Grill the Transistors:
Heat up your soldering iron to "extra hot" and carefully sear the transistors on both sides until the metal leads achieve a golden-brown soldering point. Optional: add a sprinkling of flux for that extra zing.
Prepare the Flambéed Resistors:
Place the resistors in a fireproof pan. Pour a splash of high-voltage battery acid over them. Using a lighter (or a Tesla coil for dramatic flair), set them ablaze. Stand back as they emit a blue electrical arc-this is normal and adds character to the dish.
Steam the Capacitors:
Place the capacitors in a double boiler with distilled water. For flavor infusion, sprinkle a hint of solder dust. Steam until they swell slightly-don’t overcook or they may explode (and ruin your presentation).
Plating the Dish:
Arrange the grilled transistors in a symmetrical circuit-like pattern. Place the flambéed resistors artistically over the top, ensuring their leads dangle for extra flair. Finally, nestle the steamed capacitors in the center for that charged centerpiece.
Serve with Style:
Drizzle everything with the battery acid reduction sauce for a tangy finish. Add LED salad on the side for a colorful glow, and pile on crispy PCB chips for crunch.
Chef’s Tip: If the dish starts sparking or emitting smoke, you’ve done it right. Serve immediately, but ensure your guests are grounded-safety first!
Bon Appétit, and may your circuits never short! ⚡

Christ! For 25K this is very dyi quality. Grinding the numbers off is just mean.
Thanks for this upload. Im here because I saw Louis Rossmann talk about the video and the legal action that came with it, and by then Mark had removed the video. it seems that it's also uploaded to Rossmanns channel now (1 hour ago). Still Im glad that there are people supporting Mark - he is a good guy and one can only be impressed by his skills. Instead of being harassed by youtube and TomE he should get a medal.
We never did find out what those DIP switches were for?
I think theyre for eq settings, different stylus systems, line in- line out resistance, output level.
Or to make it sound like it was made, like a 70th/80th preamp, or like an overpriced piece of plastic with cardboard (-:
They are for setting the resistive and capacitive loading of moving coil cartridges which is important for optimal performance. As an electronic engineer I can tell you that the preamp is competently designed but the construction and pricing are questionable.
Bad Actor, Tom Evans, should be taken to court for his abusive conduct and damage caused.
For those wanting to know what the music at the end is, they are an awesome band called Khruangbin (pronounced crung-bin) and the song is called People Everywhere.

I am here for the million dollar Streisand effect.
Thumbs up to every re-upload from me that I can find.
The video is already a classic today!
Committing for the sake of the destruction of Tom Evans audio.

They unwiselly send this unit to Mend it Mark..a genius of audio repairing....
you can get a 49 Keys Synthesizer, a Custom Build mini Moog Replika with nice boards inside, wooden case, different colours to chose for 2000€, with a lot of customisation maybe 2500€... its ridiculous. 😀
Maybe to sand all the IC's took a long long time and thats the reason for this expensive preamp (-:
YES! Thanks for posting this!
Here to support Mark.
Someone paid 25K for *that*? Audiophiiles must hate money quite a bit, what the hell.
As the number said on the device, 57 people paid the money for this.
(if i'm right)
@@CoockieClassiCKeks That's bonkers. Money =/= taste *or* intelligence.
@@zadtheinhaler I bought an technics SA 303 amp 10 years ago, opened and cleaned all switches and pots. Now the amp works perfect, feels and looks much better than this 25000$ preamp
@@CoockieClassiCKeks I don't doubt it at all. I had an old Sears amp that was gloriously loud and clean.
Some audiophiles loves money so much that they have plenty around to pay for this kind of decorative equipment.

I'm here for the algo and the comment count.
Youre welcome, sit down and watch the video for the xxx time...
Or just for the background, or as like a fairy tale when you go to sleep. What ever, have fun! (-:
keep them coming
This has become a meme at work, someone sent me a picture of a 50hz mains signal on a scope labeled Tomm ev@mz ripple free.... 😂
Best comment ever... wow, this makes me laugh out loud!
For japan or US u need 60hz
Do you know what this video proves? That there are at least 10 idiots every year who spend 25k on this hack job.
Another one bites the dust
Most shared video on RUclips?
reality check for scammer tom evans
Waa waa waa waaaaaaaaaa
The interior certainly does not look like £25,000!
£2,500 would already be overpaid significantly.
Just soldering wires into the boards is not very professional. decent connectors should have been used.
Not making proper wiring harnesses and fixating them to the case makes it look cheap and messy.
Attaching TO-220 components with nylon nuts and bolts to a heatsink is just not done.
All these plastic studs to mount the "sandwiched" PCBs do not belong in expensive equipment.
Summarizing, this looks like a lab-built proto type.
Maybe to sand all the IC's took a long long time and thats the reason for this expensive preamp (-:
that preamp looks like a Maplin kit.
Here we go again.
pahahahaha all these reuploads are great. Tom Evans' gear sucks
Any news on whether Mark’s original video had been released from youTube jail?
I dont think so...
Tom Evans is a winker
nice :) lets teach a leasson!!!
😀
aha the famous “ Mastergroove “ 😂
pile of ….
Is that CE logo on the back of the Amp legit, or does it mean China Export?
Can anyone lend me £25,000? Just want to check for authenticity! 😃😃
Not another one, repeat after me !
We know that Mark was badly treated by YT, now please give it a rest.
On the contrary.., an example needs to be made. If you file a bogus claim trying to censor (fair) criticism, you get that criticism multiplied by 1000.
@@copernicofelinis I am all for supporting somone that has no recourse to correct the way they have
been treated by RUclips, who always seem to take the side of anyone raising a copyright issue
without any proof.
This is just another downfall of RUclips policy makers failing to provide a fair way of counterclaiming
any issues.
Life is so unfair in many ways, and this is a classic example.
Repeat after me... Accounts with no content that have been "active" 3 months and say nothing other mouthpiece news don't get to tell people what to say
@@twobob There are millions of accounts with no content, you can't leave comments on RUclips
without opening an account.
RUclips are here to make money, but they fail to support the contentent makers.
It is not a perfect world and never will be.
@@BarbaraPape-y4g I'll stick to my convictions, Also these actions hurt no one other than someone who has any kind of investment in control so.. in your own words, give a rest.
