Что за история про New Trainwreck .
Если в пару предложений, Кen Fisher - отец основатель Trainwreck Circuits в одиночку изготавливавший свои усилители собственными руками у себя дома... от продолжительной болезни трагически умер в 2006 году... его усилители на вторичном рынке на тот момент стоили ~30000-40000$), после его смерти появилось множество клонов от известных "бутиковых" производителей (ну умер же... хотя они и до этого были, но это было как-то некрасиво, а после смерти Ken - встало на поток), ну а в 2010 появляется New Trainwreck, типа тоже самое но под началом другого мастера, который договорился с семьей Fisher об использовании собственности Trainwreck... который заявляет, что только он делает настоящий Trainwreck, а все остальное жалкие не чуть похожие на оригинал подделки и вот почему:
1. Ken respected, trusted, and was influenced by JM's ears. JM worked with Ken before Trainwreck Circuits existed. Ken consulted JM on issues of tone and JM helped Ken voice the original Trainwreck amps. JM worked on a number of 'wrecks over the years. Ken appreciated JM's ears and meticulous work; Ken would have hired JM but JM worked so slowly that paying him would have raised the price of the amps by 25% (This was when Ken sold them for $650 a head. Ken never imagined the monetary value his amps would achieve). When Ken spoke of nobody being able to build Trainwrecks, JM had never built a complete one. JM's is sure Ken would have affirmed that the new amps sound "right". That's coming from the man who helped Ken originally voice Trainwreck amps.
2. JM has access to information no one else has. He has access to Ken's parts list (Hint: Though you can build a good sounding amp with Heyboer transformers, Trainwreck amps were never built with them) and more importantly, Ken's notes.
3. JM works in Ken's shop and builds with Ken's equipment, helping him replicate Ken's exact methods. Working with Ken's equipment actually helps JM to understand the way Ken did things. He uses Ken's stash of tubes and parts, too.
4. JM compares his newly built Rockets with Ken's personal Rocket, the one Ken referred to as "Reality Check". JM's newly built amps hold their own and then some. They sound amazing and meet the tonal standard set by "Reality Check" even in blind listening tests.
Хотя Fuchs, чья мастерская была в 20мин от дома Ken'а и их связывали дружеские отношения... не сном, не духом, кто же такой "JM" (псевдоним нового мастера)...
