Got a few resistors and a couple of 100nF capacitors to hand?

I'd love to hear your impressions it's not every day that a different crossfeed circuit comes about but, when it does, it's worth trying. Unfortunately I don't have any 18K resistors to hand (everything else but ) have ordered some and they will be here Tuesday...... in the meantime if any of you finger on the iron fast guns feel like trying it out and giving feedback it would be appreciated.

Feedback in this thread here please, my joint couldn't handle the bandwith, Just thought I'd put this by you guys and trust you'll appreciate it.

That looks pretty interesting, and I like the idea behind it. I don't have the parts around to try, but maybe I'll be able to order up some soon. I'll probably follow that thread you linked to.

I've got one in circuit and to be honest it's so natural sounding I find it hard going back over to normal headphone listening. Once the transistors etc. are incorporated into the circuit this promises to be one very special little device

I assume this would work balanced as well? Double the circuit for + and - sides? resistors between L+ R+ L- R- etc? I want to stick 1 in a 4 pin xlr barrel I guess I need to make sure it'd work on the output side of a headphone amp, too, or I'll have to do it differently.

Dan,

It should work, assuming the XLR is wired for ground as well (it should be, but you never know).

[grawk]

I don't see any real ground in the implementations that have been done. 2 RCAs and no power doesn't seem to have a ground anywhere. I figured using hte xlr4 barrel shell would work effectively the same way?

[JBLoudG20]

There are two blatant grounds on the schematic in the first post. The shell might work fine, but that is assuming that it is grounded. I never make assumptions like that, when I didn't build it myself.

[grawk]

There are grounds in the schematic, but the way people are building it (or it seems), the grounds don't seem to reference anything. No power supply, and RCA connectors.

[JBLoudG20]

Ok gotcha about the RCA, but the powersupply is irrelevant. I'd say as long as the XLR is grounded (the way an RCA is) then you should be fine.

[PinkFloyd]

Have you tried as yet? If so, what think you?

Mike.

[grawk]

haven't tried it yet. I want to try it balanced, however.

Definitive answer will be forthcoming on balanced hookup.

All the best.
