Acronym 6925 
The End of Life Phonostage’s power supply 6913 
"...better and more sophistocated PS" (vs. bad AC) 6913 
The stupid, lousy AC is another subject. 6913 
It is comming along.... 6732 
Now, that's a phono stage! 6732 
The perfect corrector. 6732

Nope, it was not ‘keeping anybody on toes’... 6729 
The latest version of the corrector – not heard it yet. (corrected) 6727 
The sentiments behind “End of Life" Phonostage 6727 
Going on from "There" 6727 
Ok, it is already almost there. 6727
