Nice Steve. Does aluminium work-harden at all or can it be bent "in one"?

I'm no metalbasher Steve, how did you get such a nice corner and straight side at the front?

Re: On My Bench.

Recliner no worky, very serious indeed. Excellent interim solution Dave :thumbright: .

I think you've let yerself go a bit there though, not as neat cutting as previously. It's to be expected though when faced with such an emergency.

Re: Audiojumble 03/03/24

I might be interested in a couple of C3g, a quad even. Then the C3g phono stage I've been working on for the last 18 years on and off might last as long in service...

Re: On My Bench.

Hey, it wasn't obvious on my phone! Honest! And my attention was drawn to Dave's tidy manicure which appeared to me to be pointing at the two soldered joints!

Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

Lots of interesting stuff here that would probably stand their own thread. I'd be particularly interested in the whole remote control and preamp setup.

Re: On My Bench.

Ah yes, I see it now.

Guessing that's your fret hand rather than strumming hand? (Yeah, you guessed, I'm not a musician!)

What/where are the signs here Dave? The solder joints by your finger look okay. I'd never have seen this. Perhaps I need to looking on a big screen not a phone.

Nice manicure BTW.

Re: C3g Aikido Phono

Good spot, I'd not even considered this. 2200uF would probably be better, starting to get quite large.

Re: C3g Aikido Phono

A bit of an update for record purposes having remodelled the parallel fets. With the single fet model I tried bypassing the source resistor with 470uF and this added 5dB of gain, nearly 33dB of gain now. But the noise increased significantly from ~53nV/Hz1/2 to ~84nV/Hz1/2. With two paralleled fets,...
