Re: Grand Prix to the Max !

masi completely runied 21 for me, the 'let them race' crap spouted by horner every time max shoved someone off the road ruined 21, the crazily inconsistent stewarding ruined 21 and the media frenzy and rediculous fanbase tribalism ruined 21 for me.

Re: Alternate pre amp

When i make those for people i always use neutrik sockets and either lorlin or elma switches. Main issues are usually ill fitting sockets and/or switch contacts going dodgy over time.
