I no longer have time for my hobbies not to mention helping (manualy) other people. Buy yourself a soldering iron and start your adventure. Chase necessary parts on ebay. They are relatively cheap. I still have two of those round PCBs somewhere. I can give them for free but I will charge for the...

Project frankenstein. Hopefully I'll be able to close the chassis ;)  

Would it be possible to substitute WIMA 0.68uF 160V with the Russian K42Y-2 0.47uF 250V PIO cap?

Is there any room for improvement on my adapters? http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/301219/review-of-the-diy-6h6n-to-e182cc-5687-tube-adapters-bullplugs-for-ld-mkii-mkiii-headphone-amplifiers/45#post_7527150

Thank you Ethebull for the inspiration! :)                                        

Thank you.

I’ve just received two vintage socket savers. Looks like it’s what I wanted to create neat looking adapters. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260661684627&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT   I’m still waiting for adapter boards. I hope they will make my life easier during...

Quote:     I was looking for those Mullard EF95 tubes on ebay at the moment. Are there any that have that V symbol you are talkin about?    

Or the amp itself.

Hi there page28, Sorry for not replying earlier. Looks like all my head-fi subscriptions went dead :( I have never tried those Vintage Valve Tube 9-Pin Sockets myself. I’m a cheap person and I was reluctant to buy 10 of them + shipping without knowing whether they work or not ;) Some time ago...

Quote: It makes sense.  

Quote:   I bought it from David on eBay. Amp was shipped directly from China. I have never made any modifications to the circuit board myself. Many solder joints (most of them actually) do look messy.    

Quote:   I was told that there  is supposed to be only one cap there.

Quote:   There are holes for additional cap and there is description on the circuit board. That's why I was asking. See the blow-up below.          

Today I visited my local shop with electronic stuff. There is nothing I mean absolutely nothing in terms of caps or resistors mentioned in the LD mod thread :( The only things I could scavenge were some LEDs. From top to bottom: - original blue - orange - superbright white - superbright...

I took some pictures of the circuit board of my MKIII v2.0 today and I think (pardon my ignorance) there is something missing on the board. There is one brown 33uF 250V cap in the middle of the board. Looks like there should be two of them. There is nothing on the other side of the board. There...

Would it be possible to use 50k attenuator instead of 100k pot in my MKIII?   Edit: Like the one from the link bellow...

KMASCII, have you tried any mods yourself?

I removed the original wires (red, blue, brown, green and black) together with the white socket. The wires I used are solid core CAT5 ones.

Stevebol,   Looks like the soldering quality is very poor not only on my MKIII. My clumsiness did not help either I guess ;) I think I figured out the pot wiring. It works fine... sometimes... well... I loose the left channel when I touch the pot in an improper manner ;) I had some problems...

Thank you sir!

I hope so!

  Hi guys! Some time ago I decided to check what’s in my MK III. I dismantled the front panel and a couple of wires connected to the pot fell off. I have no idea how to fix it :( Could you provide some schematics how to wire the pot to the main board please? I wouldn’t like getting...

Thank God they did not ruin the card and it still sounds nice

Check the control panel of the old drivers and compare to the latest one. The latest one just looks cheap. Only a fraction of the old features remained. This is a huge and I will repeat it HUGE  step backwards. Most of the old stuff never worked for me anyway but at least it was there! Master...
