The Orthodynamic Thread
got them, the connectors are pieces of crap, one side is intermittent if you shake your head hard, but sound wise pretty comparable to my lcd2 may actually be built a bit better

looks like 20 bit plus 7 segment supposed to be sign/magnitude but not sure of that

i will take a set of input boards please

2n5564 is the original part, however they are going to be very hard to find

kerry, any chance of a grhv supply that size

Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon
I don't believe that Mikhail ever sold it. At the time he said it was about $6k to gold plate it. And I don't believe that, probably more like $1k. He did try and sell it a couple of times for $35k or so I was told.

Balanced to unbalanced board
the board is the dual servo one, I thought I published the final schematic, will have to look
-
Balanced to unbalanced board
That schematic does not match the current board

yep those 2 caps go from +vcc to -vcc not sure why

Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon
as far as I know you have to gold plate the turd. then you can polish the shit out of it.

Balanced to unbalanced board
those have not been updated in a while, so many versions, sorenb probably knows more about which is which than i do at this point

is it anything like the final countdown?

Balanced to unbalanced board
found an error with the input board, fixed and updated

2x is just fine for this

i'm sure they can make a high quality amp. But they are subject to the same parts i use unless they find piles of obsolete parts. Kind of doubt they would do that at this point

i'm looking at my board which is labeled 2009 Jacob potter and all the electrolytics go from power rails to ground

Its there now, I put it in the wrong place

Continuation of R2R DAC Discussion From Stax Thread
so if I count right, that is 50 resistors per string. which would work out to 25 resistors (sign + 24 bit magnitude) x 2 and then 2 of them which would be balanced for one channel. so it actually could be really balanced. 3 opamps at the outputs? funny that they sanded off the part number of the eprom that loads the altera chip

Balanced to unbalanced board
Way old will have to look at it. If it has the 4pdt relays, those are obsolete board file posted, everyting is the dpdt relays. So you stack 2 for stereo, and use rca to xlr adapters for the unbalanced inputs otherwise it gets stupid complicated

Continuation of R2R DAC Discussion From Stax Thread
the pile of caps could still be a pain but not for a while can't tell whether its sign/magnitude or not. if it is sign/magnitude, then its not true balanced
