Thankyou for your help.

Hello all After reading the specifications for the 1212M, I'm still a bit confused on its outputs. The specs say that it has ADAT in and out switchable to S/PDIF. I just like to be 100% certain that it has toslink out, as I want to use it with a Piccolo DAC. Cheers

Well that's a good question strohmie. It is a hard one to answer too. Basically when I look at where something is made I compare it to other things I have that are made in the same place. During the next few lines i will be generalising so please don't take offence I am just posting from my...

Thanks jaskin - oh well time to order

Oh, sorry. When I read it I though you were joking too, but I sort of expected to see a smiley if it was a joke as opposed to sarcasm. Sorry about that! Could a CD3000 please let me know where they are made?

Well I did try to phrase that last line to be as non-offensive as possible - but I could have left it out. Well I will edit it out as I have obviously offended someone. I apologize.

I searched and searched and searched! But alas the answer to my question could not be found Where are the Sony CD3000 made? I am guessing they are made in Japan?

I fixed it! I stuffed around for about hours checking the board at various points. Checking the left channel at various points. Then I found what was wrong - the left input resistor had fallen out of the IC socket I had put it in (apparently not well enough). With it replaced the whole...

Thanks fiddler. Well I have checked it with the dmm and I can't find where it's touching ground. Could it be anything else?

Ok I checked all the wiring and found I had put the inputs to the output pads on the board and the output to the input pads! All around wrong way - so I have now changed them to correct orientation. Now I have sound but only in right channel - left channel is silent. So I thought maybe my...

Hmm inverted power supply - I am sure it was not inverted but I will check it again just to make sure. Thanks for the tip

I built a Meta42 a while ago using 2xAD845 ICs running on 2 x 9V batteries (about 4 hours juice then dead). So I recently built a dual rail +-15V power supply. I connected removed the TLE2426 and the EL2001 in the Meta power supply. I then connected 0V from my PS to the ground on the Meta board...

Thanks for the replies peoples Number9 thanks for the tip I'll do some searches. Well even if it did fry your brain I don't think I could give up the habit

G'day all I was thinking a couple of months back about the effects headphones may have on your health. I started thinking about EMF which I know in too high amounts has been shown to be detrimental to your health. Then I saw on the Ultrasone site their low EMF headphones and that they gave...

THanks guys Well I had v- to common but looks like i had v+ on the wrong pin. I'll try once I get home from work. Thanks all

I can't work out for the life of me, why this TLE2426 is running so hot. This is the first 9v batt power supply i have ever built (built plenty of AC ps but they all worked - lost a few fuses though!) I set up a 9v batt and TLE2426 etc exactly as shown in the last diagram in the DESIGNING...

Thanks for the info. Just curious but where could I order a pair of the phillips headphones you mentioned? Once again thanks for the help.

G'day I tried sending you a pm but didn't work. I contacted Beyerdynamic and they said the dist in aus was Synchro Tech Systems Design, so I emailed them but they don't respond. Could you give me contact details of a store who sells them? (DT770) Cheers

Thanks for all the replys guys Snufkin: A supplier any where would be great! As long as I can get them sent to Tas. Ordering off of Jan Meier might be a good idea, but it would be easier to get them local for ease of warranty replace and such if anything happened. What is it with...

G'day all I am trying to find somewhere in Aus to buy Beyerdynamic (DT 770 specifically) and a decent amp to drive them. I live in Tas which is a virtual headphone desert and everything is a rip off here too. Any suggestions?
