All down to you GASTAN, I personally just use good quality 60/40 (22 SWG) stuff.

If you can solder it's simple.

Mike,

The 10,000uF/35V Panasonic TS-HA cap has a 30mm diameter. The cap outline screened on my Canamp measures to be about 25mm and it looks like it a 30mm cap might touch a diode or cap. Panasonic does have a 10,000uF/35V TS-HA cap that is 25mm d x 45mm h, but that may be too tall.

The 10,000uF/35V dubilier caps that you used appear to fit nicely, weren't those 30mm diameter caps?

BTW, have you tried the 22,000uF cap yet?

Thanks for the updates on your mods, nice work!

I wish they sold those Panasonics in the UK 3.13 Euros each Part number: 852661 You'll also get your ELNA Cerafine 100uF or ELNA Silmic 100uF over there. 25V is perfectly good.

Be interesting to find out the breadboards, which we were told were changed to accommodate the new transformer required other changes to it. Meaning the board Mike is working on and ours here for U.S. export are in fact different as evidenced by the screened cap diameter. Maybe board room taken for a larger transformer?

 

[JohnH]

I was thinking the same thing. Interestingly, the transformer in the newer amps has 2 x 7VA secondaries, while the transformer in Mikes picture has 2 x 6VA secondaries.

Maybe like many regulators, they work better with a higher voltage. I have found that this can improve the sound than working too close to their cutoff of voltage input.

Anybody try the ety er4s with the HEEDCanAmp??
I would like you to share your experience.
I 'm thinking of buying the heed amp.
I will use it with the k701 and the er4s.
Any thoughts?

25mm x 45mm is actually a perfect fit, the dubilier caps I have in are 25mm x 45mm

No. 25mmD x 45mmH

Not yet John, will be trying that at a later date.

The new transformer won't have reduced the "cap estate" if you look at Miguel's amp you can see the bigger tranny goes back the way toward the fuse..... the cap estate is not compromised at all

The Heed CanAmp is now in the building, woo-hoo!!!!!

Off for some serious listening!!!

But not too serious, I hope, since indications are that the CanAmp requires a jolly good running-in!

Congrats!

I want to enjoy the journey. Watch this space.

First impressions on the visuals - looks great alongside my Black Glass fronted Meridian 200/203 setup.

Some pics later...

Aaarrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Just hooked her all up and switched on. Nothing, nada, no light - changed fuse in plug, tried different sockets - still nothing.

Must be jinxed or going nuts. Had an RA-1 show up DOA and now this three days later!

 

[dcheming]

What is "changed fuse in plug" referring too? I would check the fuse inside the amp, maybe it came loose in transit. Sorry if this is what you meant you checked already.

 

[Cuppa]

UK plugs have fuses inside them

 

[dcheming]

It might be worth it to pop the cover off just to check the internal fuse then. While your in there you could also check to see if your filter caps are soldered with the proper polarity.
