Yeah, I love AVE, and this guy seems fine, too. But from watching this video, I learned that the unit has a voltage regulator which is running "way over spec" and that you need to double the size of the heat sink for it and install a different resistor to remedy that. So be prepared for that. I am definitely not trying to "rain on your parade", so please let the community know what your experiences are, if you go through with this purchase. Did you get a really good deal on some high quality equipment after making a few easy adjustments, or did you buy yourself into a basket of problems?

I wish you all the best.
