    Building the amp5

    Hi Heady, so you bought how many solen caps and vishay caps? how many caps are there anyway? 2 inputs 2 output? I would like to change the caps to polys too... and how you bypass the solens using the vishay?? very hard to understand without schematics leh..
  2. so you using the soha as your pre-amp now then Heady?
  3. wow....25W...maybe you need to attenuate it or use current hungry phones...like that K1000??? so u sound very satisfied with the amp huh heady...hmmm...gets me itching to start building it...

    oh, so heady has already finished the amp, and with some mods to it. i think the change of the caps do really cleans up the sound huh. any particular reason to make you decide to get those caps? ok, i think i should be able to start the week after next...hope can clear up all my stuff at hands first...so maybe need your help then. so the transformer is farnell #696985?
  6. squalle...you can loan me the extra board if you have no place to put it....
  7. wow...so glad that you guys are coming up with some really cool designs. I like zeph version 2, the blue and white portions gives contrast. I think we can add in a eye-catching top-of-the-line headphones, such as the GS1000, to show we mean business.... I await eagerly our very own t-shirt!!!

    Hi guys, just read through the notes last night. I think we have to change some resistors value if we are using the =/-20V transformer right? and heady, what input stage gain you choose to use? for 'general use' or for use with preamp?

    Building the amp5

    hi guys, I have not started, neither have I even opened to take a look because quite busy over the weekend. I don't like to start and stop halfway so wanted to find a few days when I am free to start doing it. So is it hard to get it started? Heady, you very on leh....so fast bought the caps, casings, and transformer liao and have started looking at the manual. I think I am going to print the manual out today. Cheers.

    Koss KSC 75

    1 koss ksc75 coming 1 Koss SportaPro (and people calling me crazy for having so many headphones)
  14. just to add in my experiences when I bought my first 2nd-hand cdp: marantz cd6000 when I audition it, everything was fine. the cds load and play promptly. everything looks fine. However, when I power it on the 2nd day, the player always show a 'error' or 'no disc' when i put in the cds. only after letting it warm up for about an hour can it play the discs properly. so apparently it is a weak laser issue. so the previous owner has already suffiently warmed it up for me to audit when I am there. that's why there wasn't any problem when i audition it. so i have no choice but to warm up the player everytime I want to play it, until I finally change the lens last month. then there is zero warming up time. well, i bought it at a good price so I have nothing to complain about although the laser is weak. so, maybe you should request a 3-days personal warranty from the seller just in case. or power down, wait awhile, and power up again.

    hmm..i suddenly got an idea while bathing...haha maybe we can buy those spoilt cdps and make use of their casings instead? would be cheaper like that and won't look too bad too...

    Building the amp5

    Hi guys, ya..i kind of like ck's recommendation. but it is overseas....hmmm anyway, i am thinking...is it recommended to get such a big casing?? the pcb is quite compact right? only the transformer is quite big. so who has started building? i have yet to order the transformer. heady, the terminals are for banana female plugs??
  18. wow...thanks for reserving a slot for me. YES...please get one for me. I'm in!!

  20. There might be other planets in other stars too and they have some possible candidates...
  21. ah..it is heartening to see so many people interested in astronomy... well, there are potential other planets waiting to be discovered elsewhere so maybe they feel that it is time to redefine things...
  22. hmm..well, pluto was sort of 'out of specs' to begin with. It is not as big as the rest of the eight planets, its orbital path is weird and its moon is also about half its size iirc..so well...either we stick to eight planets and less changes or get more and more planets on the list as we discover more far away 'dwarf planets'.

    T-amps

    oh...ok that is good. so now is the waiting time for the boards then. so how you plan to get the transformers, ckng?
  24. How many planets are there in the Solar System? So who still thinks that we have 9 planets?? We are left with 8 now!!.... http://www.iau2006.org/mirror/www.iau.org/iau0603/index.html
  25. maybe a big value ones...i tried before 47000uF. but you can just try any caps and see whether the whizz go away..just soft bind them will do...don't work still can take away easily.
