Wink M^3 -- Gee, do I really need a case?

Checking out an M^3 as a pre-amplifier with a cheap Sony DVD/CD player, a pair of *really* cheap JBL speakers (just in case, wouldn't want to fry the B&Ws), and the power amp section of an old Denon receiver.

Makes the JBLs sound like they cost.... oh $100 a pair.

M^3 Pre-amp test.

Hello, here some pics of my first experiments:



from left to right
1. my second try, a smEaton with crossfeed in an USB-harddrive-case
2. my first try, a RA-1-clone in the wooden box
3. a simple switch for comparing the amps (here used with a Creek OBH21 SE)

Actually I wait for some parts to complete my 4th project, a PIMETA









on this pictures the cables are just plugged for testing.
They are replaced by better ones which are placed in a better looking way and have been soldered now.

Hello!
I am sorry for my English

I have altered completely unnecessary device Musical Fidelity X-10D in system in the amplifier for headphones.
The applied military transistors allow to work to the circuit without negative feedback in a class A.
The circuit is thought up by Igor Semyninym from the city of Izhevsk.
It emitter the repeater with incredibly pure and transparent sound.
What say?

That's quite an interesting case, but in a good way!
