The Expanding Man Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 And get a nice wooden base built up for the Garrard. What type of wood is that? I am keeping my eyes open for a nice big slab of Maple for my plinth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerius Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 The owner says it's a big block of maple made from gluing together smaller pieces of maple. He had some woodworker guy make the maple base and get the holes & cutouts drilled in the right places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerius Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 CCS loads for the output tubes on my tube amp. Probably going to build Gary Pimm's self bias CCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierce_freak Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've been thinking of using that circuit for the CCS in my tube headphone amp planned in the future, but I'll probably just go with a simple cascode of 10m45's for now.

If you have trouble finding 10m45's let me know... I stocked up. If you want to use a pcb for the ccs it looks like dsavitsk will have some available soon. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1359849#post1359849 Renato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhjazz Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Well I was going to start on a pair of Aliens in January, but these look mighty sweet Nate. My home gear has been crying out for balanced cables for years. I just need more time. Dammit, I need more time for all of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I just need more time. Dammit, I need more time for all of this! Thanks! Just FYI, total construction time for those is less than an hour with the biggest time suck being dealing with the shield. They do sound quite good though, especially given the extremely modest cost.

Just FYI, total construction time for those is less than an hour with the biggest time suck being dealing with the shield. They do sound quite good though, especially given the extremely modest cost. How do you deal with the shield? This is something I've been thinking about the past couple days. Do you just put a piece of wire up into the shield and solder that onto the connector, or do you leave enough shield out that you can twist it seperate from the signal wires and use that?

n_maher Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 do you leave enough shield out that you can twist it separate from the signal wires and use that? This is exactly what I do and I actually run a piece of shield up to each connector, not just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierce_freak Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks for the info, Nate. I usually see shields only connected at source end. Have you found connected at both to be better for you? If you have trouble finding 10m45's let me know... I stocked up. If you want to use a pcb for the ccs it looks like dsavitsk will have some available soon. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1359849#post1359849 Cool, thanks Renato.

Have you found connected at both to be better for you?For single ended cables I usuall connect them at the source end only. For balanced cables I've tried source-end and both, with no difference (in my rig). But for the most part I follow the industry standard of source side only.

Salt Peanuts Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 With week and half off from work (and at least half of those days off actually free), I'm planning on taking apart my audio rack, finish the shelves, then expand the rack one way or another. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
