Although impossible to proove either way, the bulk of the evidence suggests that the photos are indeed of the 47 Labs Gaincard.Happy now?
In one sense I am: looking at the circuit I realised there wasn't a cap on the feedback loop. Instead the cap was at the input. I modified my gainclone to match and noticed a huge improvement in sound. I must admit that I would not have thought of that by myself.
But for the most part, the fun was in the guessing.
Now the question I would like to leave you with is this:
Does the gaincard sound as good as it does because of the way it is built, or in spite of it?
If you own a Gaincard.. it sounds the same today as it did yesterday, enjoy it for the great sounding amp it is.
If you own a gainclone, well we now have a little more information, but it is still quite possible that your version is better anyway.
If you are in the business of selling 47 labs products: The truth will out, always. If you can't justify the price to someone with a full knowledge of the product, you are acting with deceitful intent. Your half hearted denials are disgraceful.
