You just needed Carlo (IIRC?) to mod it for you...

You already know the answer to that... as Grawk reminded you.

Phono cartridges will do that... even then, you wonder whether its REALLY right...

How about 2%? Digikey has the BC 416 series (Morsel likes these alot) BC2068-ND for the 0.047uf

No, it was one while I was starting to / in process of doing it, and people were recommending programs. I could of sworn it was here on head-case as I would have a higher degree of trust in the answers than on other sites.

Thanks, but I got it working fine. I thought this thread had more discussion on doing it and mentioned 2-3-4 or more programs... must have been elsewhere?

Marc, Does that mean you have some of the duals, or some 2SA970 / 2SC2240s? Thanks Pete, I'll send you a pm. Chris

Anyone have a pointer to pics of a Tektronix scope that is done point to point? I've always heard that if you want to do pt-pt right, do it like that... and a scope is a hell of a lot more complex than an amp.

I've got quite a few as I use these for I/V stages. These appear to be lower noise than the duals are? Kevin commented on the DynaFET thread on headwize that these could be substituted with the 2SA1145 / 2SC2705s that are already used elsewhere in the Dynahi, but might be noisier. The 2SA970 / 2SC2240s would seem like they might be a better device for this...

I was going thru my stash to see if I had enough to build a Dynamight and found that I'm short a pair of each of these. I then found that they aren't available anymore Does anyone have (2) of each they would sell, or barring that, anyone know what the singles of these are (if there is such an animal)? If not, would something like matched pairs of 2SA970 / 2SC2240s work?

Hope you had a good one!

Particularly when it is on... <<<shudder>>>

It seems odd that if, in Mikhail's mind, there are issues needing resolution before he can ship Elephas' amps, that he would be actively trying to contact Elephas. Sounds like he is ignoring Elephas' attempts at contacting him. Something doesn't add up...

I very well could be wrong, but I wasn't aware that the user could take an ad down at audiogon? I thought they just automatically aged and disappeared when they had been up a certain number of days?

For SOIC to DIP adapters, I saw a neat technique on diyhifi of putting the chip on the bottom of a DIP-8 socket... gets the chip 1-2mm closer to the the pins and gives you room on top for stuff like the rail to rail cap, etc. DIYHiFi.org • View topic - KC7 Look for carlosfm's post (about the 3rd one or so), with pics. His bypassing techniques were what i was going to use for a start if I went to the THS4031/2 chips (100uf Pana FM right on the power pins to ground, etc.).

From what I've been told, you don't want the painted anything from Par Metals... go anodized entire case. Then again, I'm an observer here, so...

Ahh, I think I got confused Thought he was contrasting some other failures... upon rereading I guess not.

I found this post in the HF thread to be a bit more unsettling: That seems to be alot to gut for parts... The one in Chicago may have been Absorbine's Zana that wouldn't fire up (Feb. meet)?

I think what KG is alluding to is that the perception created by Ray's fanboys makes Mikhail feel as though he needs to act; in this case by coming out with innumerable models which drives inventory ($$$ components) as well as loss of focus on existing problems (customer amps in for repair or builds).

Happy Birthday! Hope you are healing up OK (leg was it?).

I'll take some of the drugs this guy is on x24. Source is way more important. Buy a good CDP with good DACs in it and you don't have to mess with SPDIF. Some people like systems without a preamp... Reks was doing that for quite awhile. Now he has a preamp. What Nate showed you (looks like an audioasylum Bob Crump cord) is all you need for power cords (or Volex 17604 IIRC).

You left the 2 * pi out of your formula, but must have used in in your calculation. I would think this should be sufficient. On my recent coupling cap experiment in my preamp, I had used a 1uf on the output, given the 1M resistor to ground. Of course I forgot to account for the amp input impedance in parallel (10k), so the 1uf gave me ~14Hz... definite rolloff that I could hear. Went back to an 8uf cap as the stock one had been. No rolloff that I can detect by ear now, and RMAA looks much better.

We like mutated crapped threads here apparently... we'll keep em straight
