The Mighty Puffin

I can already tell you, I’ll like it.. I’m pretty impulsive.
BUT, not with money.. LOL

I didn’t find a single bad review...:-)

I think with the ZP3 and this I can fine tune the tape side pretty good too. I think it will be a better than a SUT in leu of transformers.. FET front end with opamp options.. We’ll see.. Sounds quiet to me... -4 - +70db of gain.. 

Don’t understand firmware updates etc with ho e audio....

    all my components have no updates needed. They just all come together and give me goosebumps every time my components warm up for 10 hours overnight. 

  What is firmware updates and updates in general?
do you hook up to a computer, or internet for a download to update?

  Halfway to death and still learning new things everyday!

  I read on a couple audio message websites, about processors, needing updates etc etc. 

  thanks to you who take the time to explain all of this to me. 

You can update firmware connecting the unit to a computer (via included cable) that has downloaded the file. Windows and Mac.
The updates add features like Azimuth tuning, and fine channel balance and fixes small bugs if any. Beta testing is optional.

Newer components are like mini computers. 
 Wow.
thank you

arcticdeth, if you're not learning, what are you going? Forgetting.. LOL

That's what my OLD journeyman use to tell me.. He was pretty much right too. He told me every thing has a time, then would laugh, and say "now keep it short". 

Everything has updates, from OBD2 on all equipment, cars, machinery, or just about anything with an accumulating carbon foot print and requires power to work, or produce work..

I been updating equipment computers sense the Lean Burn Chryslers in 76-79. I was part of the Chryslers field R&D in regards to pre OBDI it was OLD tech. BUT tight code.. really tight..

Digital is 1 and 0 there is always a way to Fuc$ with it .. trust me..

I have compiled some cowboy code for sure.. Even hydraulics are completely interfaced with human touch to CLAW out 5 yards of earth and load it in a tractor/truck. All with the touch of a joystick and NEVER see the truck giggle, it was so smooth, just squat as the weight was added..

This little Puffin, is just my cup of tea.. As techie as I want it to be... OR as simple as I want it to be. Full Flex Phono/Tape preamp.

Truly in the low dollars spent for high returns category.. I can't find a bad review..
