Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

If you have any issues finding it, just PM me.

I'm lucky that the system is very stable up here, drifting just a volt or so from 234V. If I ever were to have any issues then I know the guy in charge of the whole network... This does remind me to check the heaters on the my latest Egmont type amp. I'm guessing the 12.6V is way off spec with just two ECC83's and LED on 1.9A winding.

Way too many parts for the T2. Time to finish this rather imposing beast...

Synth Brittania. Too few programs feature schematics these days...

The only issues I've had were with uneven epoxy coatings. It's not very comforting to see the resistive element on something meant for high voltage use...

SR-007A...

With up to 15% variation in the input voltage? The reason why the EU electricity standard is wide is because of the UK system.

Have a great day Jeff!!

Yeah, read that thread...

Don't get me started on his Kimik mods though. How the hell he's going to offer precise offset and balance settings for the tubes with an unregulated PSU is beyond me...

The new pads will sound different since the distance from the ears to the drivers is a large factor. It's isn't that big of a change though... Personally I wouldn't change the pads unless they are deteriorating or simply falling off.

Yup, any Lambda pads will fit. I for one am not that great a fan of the new leather pads since they are so shallow and uncomfortable for me.

Happy Birthday!!

All new earpads come with the cloth insert, any earpads with the foam are old stock. It's also not easy to compare this as the new earpads have a different shape to the older ones (more like the original prototype Lambdas). I for one have compared them and I can't hear any difference at all, ditto on the Omegas which use the same cloth inside the pads.

The fail is quite strong in that one... Hifi News have been going on about that the data on the files may be identical but how the software decodes it may alter the sound. They also did some measurements but never posted the hard data that I'm aware of.

Yup, they are WW non-inductive.

I can donate some Kimber cables for testing if somebody is up for it. I'm going to rip a KS3033 apart tonight to make some truly insane interconnects...

Like I just told Kevin, sometimes I really glad that a good part of the northern Atlantic sits between us. I'd live in constant fear of crazy shit like this showing up...

Try to remove the bottom panel.... Then you can pull out the plug and turn it to what even voltage you want.

It's strange you got such a high voltage across R12. I don't remember something like that on either of the two channels in mine. Have you measured the pots? They could be damaged and it would be well worth the time to do a diode test on the mosfets, just to see of they have shorted. One more thing, I don't recommend prolonged use of the F5 with a low ratio Stax transformer at loud levels. It got, very, very toasty...

It's Yahoo! Japan aka Japanese Ebay...

Yup, all of the Lambdas until this latest series had the drivers glues to the baffle.

When I get my hands on another Mk2/A I plan to see if there is a middle ground where air can escape but not utterly fuck up the sound at the same time. No port on the SR-5N in this sense but the drivers aren't properly secured to the baffle and the earpads do not seal completely. My SR-1 farts like crazy when fitted with SR-007 Mk1 earpads but the drivers are also glued to the baffle.
