Polygraph (yesterday).

I could go for some good, in depth, comparative technical drivel about all the Lambdas...

Only one diode drop biasing the emitter-follower.

Make sure you guys dont suck, so I can justify a t-shirt.

That, of course, depends on your flavor of perfectionist.

That depends how anal you want to get. The filter and interstage caps look like FKP panasonics, which is good enough for me, but might not be for you. If you really want to get into it, every single cap would need to go.

There is a coupling capacitor between the input stage and output stage on both of those phono preamps. Also, the RIAA filter caps certainly impact the signal. Heck, the PS caps do too.

Interstage in the Pearl or K&K.

Ah, never used them, just went that way because of prices, especially shipping. Most places wanted the same for shipping as for the two XLR jacks.

A pair of Neutrik NC3MD-LX-B. Gotta love Redco.

Not really a phono stage though, is it? Pete, looks fairly interesting, JFET input cascoded by a triode. I expect it would sound pretty good. Schematic here.

1. For reasons of DC offset. 2. Its the output device, runs in SE class A. 3. Yes, though not many JFETs would work well.

Like sustained Stax crinklefart?

What he was saying yesterday is that Sennheiser forgot to put the spacers between the diaphragm and stators, so while there was a gap present, and it would often work, the diaphragm had a tendency to stick to the stator, which, obviously, isnt good.

Yeah, I have some high hopes for them, though I am also planning to mod them a bit. 1.25" MDF baffle, 0.75" MDF elsewhere, all film caps in the xover, and very nice measurements except for the lower bass registers. I will certainly report back about the sound and stuff, with familiar music and gear (I find that helps). Some measurements:

Great news Al!

Finished modding a Denon 2900, then arky-sparky'd said Denon (new output stage v- accidentally tied to case ground), just finished giving it a smoke recharge and all seems to be good in the world.

I can help with that, just send it here.

Ooh, jealous.

Happy birthday Dan!

Biggie, that isnt a 41hz amp6, that is a prebuilt TA2020 amplifier that some guy on DIYaudio sells for 20 euros: diyAudio Forums - New ta2020 pcb'S - Page 1
