kross 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 haha...ya..i hate snakes...so thanks to you too heady ya. i'll take some pics and post them tonight. i'm using 9v batt btw. and my bro told me that the board has been discontinued from tangent due to difficulties in building the amp from others' feedbacks. (he is coming up with another design i think) looks like we are some of the last batches of this PINT amp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heady 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 kross - my pleasure, when order resistors must buy 50 pieces at a time, so what can I do with the rest of them? I am trying to break in my PINT, sounds a little too bright at the moment. But sounds good. Hoping to case it soon. squalle - my apologies. I decided to give away the broken PINT to a headfi member who wrote me to buy it. I will just give it to him so he can have fun with it. I think I got the last two PINT board from tangent. I am hoping to built one more using an alternative opamp to see what diference in sound quality it makes. The other board.... I don't know. Sell in eBay?

heady 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 Heady ... you got Spare PINT boards left ? I have two un-used boards at the moment. Hmmm, they are now "hot" stuff... I can spare one board for the right amount of encouragement! But seriously, tangent did mention the possibility of one more run of boards, so it isn't so bad. BTW - I agree with Zep about the PINT with CK-7, good combo. Haven't A-B it with my Pimeta yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heady 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) Thanks ... waiting for the chips to come ... how to get or buy from you ? Sorry, evian_vortex, the thing cost me US$5 and then add shipping, cannot just give it to you. Have to charge you. If I sell it to USA headfi members, I am sure can make profit also. But this is not my intention, I just want to cover cost. Fair? BTW - you ordered opamps without getting a board? Wah, brave ah.

heady 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Sharing some experience. I am running the PINT on a 9V alkaline. It was usable until it went below 6V which should still be ok for the AD opamp but the opamps was beginning to oscillate, I could hear whistling and chirps. So that was the reason for my earlier inability to use it, I was running it on 6V. Hmm, I wonder what Squalle did to make his work with 4.5V. Jealous....

Tetsusaiga 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2006 Hi, I feel that the PA2V2 does not really give much improvement to my music.. was wondering if the PINT would be better? btw, how much would the PINT cost?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
