I would like 4 of those cases for the op amps. :^)
 
I know the other caps, I was wondering about the two large. Ok, they are the std BG. 
 
So Ryuzoh, any preference by you on the metal can 2111 or the 637BP? 
 
Ryuzoh, that is a very strange avatar. It scares me, just a little. lol
 
Oh, the multi turn pot and transistor for the charging circuit work great. The 25 turn is 25 times better. 

 
I've searched here in the uk and can't find anything like those cases. I will send my Fi-Q for an update and ask Ryuzoh if he can supply a few.
 
And I have to agree reference the Avatar, that nose looks like a pair of ... don't know if I'm to say??? I do love the Edition 8 styling though
 

yes that avatar is ....erm.....very manly Ryuzoh 

 I will take a few of these cases too when I send my FiQ back for update/fix. i'm back listening to OPA827 again in 3 channel mode

Come on John, spit it out, what were you going to say?...hehe

 

[SpudHarris]

I've gone back and forth between the AD797BRZ's and OPA2111AM and love them both equally. They have two different signatures as you would expect but both excellent....

Well, I always prefer AP to BP but OPA602BP. And I can say 637AP or 637SM are the better in 637 family.
2111AM is one of my favorite, but not regular in my fi.Q. I always use the can with BG-equipped fi.Qs, they are completely companion with.

The avatar is using a cushion of character named as Yaruo from Japanese BurretinBoard, who has irritative face.....
Not the BXXXs

Also, applying of FET-input types as like OPA2111, OPA627 should make better results with JP1/2 turned off, Nigel.
And thanks for nice greeting card

Thanks, Jeremy

 want to update yours... and I'm waiting Buffalo II for my home rig. 
 
 
The IC case has larger sized one takes $12, as below,

This is so suitable for heavy users as like you, John, Jeremy?
 
I'm simultaneously modding my friend's SM3 (seems to be late no switch version) now....

Just a hell stuff...... getting BG flavoured and grains are fine....

DP...

 

[jamato8]

On the SM3 if you double up the diodes on the input from the batteries it sounds better or get rid of it with a small plastic spacer so the end batter can only work one way. 
 
Very cute avatar Ryuzoh. Reminds me of,  err or . . . yes sir, very nice. 

 

[SpudHarris]

Sorry guys to take this off topic slightly. It's just that this thread is where I know the right guys frequent to answer my question. Thanks to Jeremy I am the proud owner of a 240gb iMod but a couple of weeks ago I used my last BG caps on a cable for my WA6. I have searched and searched and can't find a) what value/voltage they were and b) Where I got them from.
 
I got a feeling they were NX 4.7uf 6.3v but thats off the top of my head......
 
John, Jeremy, Ryuzoh could you pm me if you can help.
 
John, I've scored a genuine set of Sylvania ''Bad Boys'' so I'm cool matched dates of 31st week 1952.
 
Ryuzoh, I do want to send my Fi-Q for an update but I'm hearing horror stories about getting stuff through customs your end, are you aware of any issues?
 

 

[jamato8]

I hope there aren't problems, I just sent mine in for servicing. I don't know about the caps, I will look around.

Must be 22uF or 47uF/6.3V NX Hi-Q, 4.7uF/6.3V class NX isn't existed.
4.7uF/50V is being, but smaller than iPod original coupling value 10uF.
I think the shop where deals in the appropriate values almost run-out the stock.
 
Japanese customs are severe and always giving inflexible attitude.
They frequently open packages and inspect the stuff inside, both inbound/outbound.
But I'd never experienced as such they destroy, or heavy taxing.

 

[qusp]

yep Ryuzoh is right, 22uf or 47uf NX-HQ is the stock value. I have a few, but i'm sorry mate its so hard to find them that i'm reluctant to let any go as I need for work. I do have some 47u/PK that will fit. let me have a look around for you, but last time I checked and found any, they wanted stupid money for them, over 15 bucks each and i'm sorry, but IMO BG just arent worth that much
 
and yeah Ryuzoh, the case looks excellent, i'll grab 1 or 2 for sure as I can use one for opamps and another for all of my other ICs like jfets, power jfets, mosfets etc which I have an even larger collection of. 
 
nice one on the buffalo II, have you ordered it yet? if not you should consider the ackodac, it is IMO a better dac. I have the buffalo II as a portable, but for home the ackodac wins. i'm about to receive the new rogers teflon substrate version dac board with all SMD BNC headers for digital connections, async USB input and wireless control of all dac parameters via the MCU including volume and source selection, so I can control via my ipad I can literally log into my dac. just matching up some jfetrs and mosfets for transconductance for the D1 Class A mosfet IV stage.
 
the buffalo II sounds fantastic though, you'll love it with the right power supply and IV stage; cant go wrong with either one and the buffalo is cheaper too. I recommend shopping around a bit for IV stages, there are a few to choose from on DIYAUDIO these days for sabre with boards available, you arent just limited to the TP stuff. I also recommend upgrading the AVCC L/R and VOSC supplies

 

[jamato8]

Some of the prices on the BG's have gotten crazy. Too bad there isn't anything on the horizon to take their place. 
 
Those large IC boxes are nice. It would be nice to have my op amps and buffers and spare boards in something like that instead of the way I have it.

Completely agreed, and we recently find rough (laugh?) fakes like below (excuse for Japanese letters).

These were from Taiwan and seem to be made in China mainland, and tagged with crazy price higher than 10 US bucks.
Leads are steel, fuzzy print, slightly purple coloured sleeve, and lot number is non-existent.

Already ordered and will be shipped in mid Jan, transformer (1k : 100k) I/V with baffalo is popular in Japan.
OK, then I'll advise you when it arrived and will may request some instruction about that

 

[SpudHarris]

Thanks guys. Well I found the infor of where I got the last lot of BG's and the web site just says ''SOLD OUT'' in big bold letters. So the million dollar question is..... what else can be used that is available? I know they won't be as awesome as BG's but hey, there must be something out there half decent.
 
What about this?
 
ELNA For Audio ROA Cerafine 6.3V 47UF HI-FI Capacitor
 

 

[ryuzoh]

Then you can use MUSE-ES 22uF/25V or 33uF/16V in same dimension with cerafine.
Partsconnexion is dealing in.
MUSE-ES is bi-polar type from Nichicon and will give solid bass like BGs but having dry character.
Also will be more similar to BGs with adding film caps in parallel with, if room could allow.
