swt61 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Posted October 2, 2009 I packed the car tonight. You'll be happy to hear I'm bringing all my Celine Dion CDs.
manaox2 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Ooooo, sweet. I am hoping to see a lot of electrostat amps, maybe a stacker, and LCDuinos involved.
luvdunhill Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 swt61: um... "yay" I need to do a bit of surgery to a board, could you bring the smallest drill bit you happen to have? ... nothing fancy this time, mostly listening .. and repairing the odd smoking build. standard fare.

dBel84 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Ooooo, sweet. I am hoping to see a lot of electrostat amps, maybe a stacker, and LCDuinos involved. If my stacker had not looked like this after a run in with the postal service, I would have sent it off to Texas for a visit. I am sure there is going to more than enough to keep you busy with ..dB
luvdunhill Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 doh, that's not pretty. I'm wondering if the length of the new cable has anything to do with the change in sound. Thoughts?
pabbi1 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Confirmed I'll be in about 10:30am Saturday with 3 electrostat amps, and one push-pull full of Lundahl iron... now if only I could find those depletion mode mosfets... tubes and vRegs are secured.
dBel84 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Assuming we are talking lcd1 ; no , it sounded pretty much the same before I switched cables. There is quite a bit i did inside , nothing crazy just something that worked ..dB

dBel84 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 heh , i steer clear of any threads discussing the HD800 ..dB

dBel84 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 oh that was some time ago and it allowed me to update it a little and use better fixing options , it was never meant to leave my desk ..dB
Fitz Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I packed the car tonight. You'll be happy to hear I'm bringing all my Celine Dion CDs. I assume it's to do a comparison to see whether CD or vinyl sounds better... using only a turntable for the test?
Smeggy Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 looks like a great little meet and that F5 is sweet ass, and that faceplate too I bet Celine will sound awesome with that thing, it does go to zero doesn't it?
GPH Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I packed the car tonight. You'll be happy to hear I'm bringing all my Celine Dion CDs. I hope you didn't forget the early classics in French from her "vintage" period. Have a good meet guys!
n_maher Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I'm on pins and needles for news of the Raven! Have fun guys and take a few pics while you are at it.
luvdunhill Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 quick reply. Finally got the F5 running last night with the K1K. A bit of hum in one channel that we need to work out. Other is dead silent, so it's a wiring issue I'm sure. We though one channel was dead for a while, even though everything measured correctly. Somehow the input came loose on the source side
spritzer Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Woot on the F5!!! I'm getting close after a small package from Texas arrived here on Thursday...
luvdunhill Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 extremely smooth, insane low end authority of the non-NoNoNoNoNoNo variety, very musical. Very different flavor than the beta22 offers.

pabbi1 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 In summary, the BH had a loose fet heatsink (fixed), the Vulcan came up ok, very stable, looking good, but plugging in a XLR to RCA adapter sent a 450v cap archy-sparky right in Marc's face (blew out the side, not the top), so gotta fix (or replace) the PSU, and she is good to go. Raven is a complete cluster fuck. I wired the rectifier backwards (you know the old is that a top or bottom view on the tube spec sheet), but even with good b+ the boards were a complete mystery. It took longer than it should have due to my lack of due diligence, but would have been better off leaving it at home. She is headed to the back of the line - again. I have a couple of pics - sadly, not of the blast - which I literally heard from outside through Marc's front door. We had it all - a surprise visit by Alex Cavalli, and a clinic by Dr Wood on how to build a workbench. Amazing to be in Austin when Austin City Limits is going on, and checking out NO live music. Oh, and if ANYONE knows where to find M8 x.75 nuts for a Noble pot, do give me a shout out.
