Strange, link works no probs for me

Mike...I bought a case from them a few months ago and they were excellent. Maybe they've all gone to the olympics

Sounds very cool PF.....don't know if I need them, but I would certainly like to try them, but at £15 a pop from RS I was going to give them a miss. I would need 2 in dip8 if you can spare them.... PM me how much you'd want for them. Cheers

Great stuff Pinkfloyd, thanks. I had'nt seen his catalogue, I've got an old PDF of it on me poota. I shall go for a couple of his double sided ones so I can try the AD825's, which I can get 4 of for less than the price of 1 OPA2107 at RS. Cheers.

So they do, thanks Dougigs

Expect the 840c sometime this summer. RRP £800.

Thanks for that Xakepa. I don't think I'm going to bother with it. Can't justify the silly money pricetag.

I'm upgrading a Dacmagic 3 I bought on ebay for £25 its way better than I was expecting so I've decided to keep it and spend abit of cash on it. Schottky's and Oscons mostly. However, its got 2 AD712's on the output so I'm going to put a couple of sockets in and try OPA2134, 2604 and op275...

Excellent. How do use them for 2 single soic's to 1 duel dip8, are they double sided, or does he do a double pcb?

Oh smart, I've bought from him before. Cheers Pinkfloyd.

Hi Guys I want to use 2 single soic's (AD825) to make up 1 duel dip8. Can't seem to find the adaptors in the UK. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

Hi KOOgar Have the amp warm, no source connected. Set your meter to DC 200mv. At the headphone jack you'll find 3 wires left,right and ground...just follow them back up to the pcb to determine which is which. The test is ground to left and ground to right...both should be 0v. HTH

I certainly did'nt know that....thanks for the explanation

Thanks rickcr42....I thought the regs would be OK, but as they were so cheap I replaced them anyway. Turns out it was a ground problem....the headphone socket is chasis mounted as opposed to pcb mounted and I was testing it with it hanging off....as soon as I mounted it on the face plate of the...

OK...not too clever, but whilst trying to measure the input voltage on one of the regs in my amp (G&W TWJ1) I slipped and shorted accross in/out. I turned off the amp quick, but the op amp after the power supply still went up in smoke .....yes, thankyou, I know I'm a numpty Anyway, I've...

Ummm...sorry for the stupid question, but how do you 'bypass' an electolytic with a film cap....I've seen them under the board directly beneath the electrolytic...but I thought that was in parallel

Cheers Banfi T.

I'm thinking of swapping out some of the caps in my amp for better quality ones and was just wondering if its OK to use non polars of the same value where there are currently polar caps?

Extremely well built and very versatile piece of kit with high and low frequency adjustments, 3 levels of crossfeed and passthrough. I thought it was excellent. Does'nt work with balanced set ups though...so I sold mine to saint.panda ^^

Hi burrough I'm using Flacs ripped with EAC through foobar2000 with kernal streaming to an M-Audio Audiophile 192 to a G&W TJ1 amp to 650's and it sounds absolutely superb. I bought the G&W from ebay new for £100. A headsave classic 2nd hand would also be a good option if you can find one, or...

Pinkfloyd Sir.....at the risk of getting my 'arse whipped', I wonder if you would be kind enough to copy me on those instructions you sent to Sean to check offset. Multimeter at the ready...just don't know what to do with it Cheers Grif

Mine looks the same as Sean's and Fidelity's and sounds superb....but if those pics posted buy Borat are of Pinkfloyds amp then he has alot of different caps in his, but it still sounds excellent???

Sorry about your wallet Steve.....Mwuuhahahaha Look forward to hearing your impressions!

I made a balanced cable for my 650's which I tested by soldering the headphone ends to the contact points under the grills....worked no problem at all. If you were to use it as a permenant solution, you'd just need to work out some strain relief. Not directly to the drivers though...so I...

Certainly second that endorsement Pinkfloyd....my amp also arrived in a couple of days, no worries at all!
