I know Tangent has sold out of them, but I've just started building my Meta42. I wanted to get it working in a simplified state before I added the extras. Hence, I only purchased 3 buffers. If anyone has some laying around they'd like to part with please post here or pm me. Thanks -N

Quote: Originally posted by tangent You use the D2 diode to jump across one of the sets of switch pads. This is not to say that you put a jumper between them! As you say, that doesn't make it stop working, but it does defeat the diode. Remove the jumper if you want the diode to do its...

Hello, I finally started building my meta42. And have run into a few questions. One: where does the power go? I used the pads closest to C1R Two: Since I am using D2, do I have to jumper (- -)? I've read I have 2, but It seems to work either way. Three: I think I bought the wrong dips...

Well I finally found some the Vishay Dale resistors I was looking for at www.mouser.com. However, they only had about 1/2 of them in stock. So I'm looking for alternatives. Can anyone compare the RN55C's to these: http://dkc3.digikey.com/pdf/T033/0807.pdf They are considerably more...

I just finishd a mini - mini cable: made with the following. Carane Star quad mic Cable Carane F-12 I don't have my amp put together yet, so I can't speak to how it sounds. But everyone here at work is drooling over it.

think I found them. I had to be a bit creative with the values. Like 220K = 221K or 470K = 475K I assumed the small difference would not have an affect. So I ordered the following. R1: 1K R2: 475K R3: 475 R4: 4.75K R5: 2.21K R6: 221K R7: 100 R8/R9: 475 R10: 1K

Hi I'm in the proccess of trying to order my resistors for a Meta42. I've chosed to start with a gain of 10. should be more then enough for my current headphones and if I add a crossfeed I should still be ok. With that I'am haveing one heck of a time finding the Vishay Dale resistors from...

I was wondering if any one could shed some light on the following. I know Tangent reccomends 1/8W restiors. But would 1/10W work? I have a much better selection of 1/10W resistors to choose from here. I assume 1% would be best, but whats the drawbacks in using 5%. -N

K, attaching one end of the shielding to ground makes more sense. Not sure why this is better then grounding both ends. Can any one shed light on this? [edit..... Duh I see you did answer this!] I did some searching/reading of past threads last night. I had not thought of solder as being a...

Hello every one. I have a question about cable shielding. I'm getting ready to build some short IC's and a Meta42. I've noticed that it seems like when "others" have used shielded cable (on meta internals and IC's) then allow the shield to float. I'm wondering why this is the case. I work...

The Pansonics are for C2/C3. I did not buy enough buffers to stack them. I figured I get it working first. then play with it a bit. I think it will be more fun that way.

thanks guys.... Yes, I have plenty of space in my case. I have two potentials picked out. I ordered a Hammond and I also have a really nice mahogany case, but I'm thinking it might be a little small if I wanted to add a crossfeed board (Which I'm planning). -N

Hello everyone. First time poster, lurkin for a while. I finally decided to build myself an amp. Been reading for a while, and decided I could probably make a meta42 work. I ordered some capacitor for the C2 location and I'm starting to have second thoughts about my choice. They came today...
