Do i spy 6D22S "television damper diodes" ?

Yep, extra points for Phil

It is a tad heavy, fits Pauls original definition of boatanher in that its just possible to more in on your own, but less that easy.

Well, given that Steve has posted about building a breadboard amp. I had better post some pictures on my amp in a box, just to maintain symmietry. http://www.lurcher.org/nick/images/211/211-3.jpg http://www.lurcher.org/nick/images/211/211-1.jpg More of Colins quality woodwork, all the rest is my fau...

I am planning on bringing the 211 and OB's at least.

If anyone cant yet post links, just send them to me nick at lurcher dot org, and I will insert them. I don't know about the effect of heat on super glue, but I know at normal temp its fine, we use it for patching holed in dogs, and glued a three inch wound close in a chicken that had be too close to...

Ok, it might be interesting to see what its square wave response looks like.

about what it might sound like with a D3a instead of the C3g. Any thoughts?

For that metter, E810F's are not that hard to find.

If anyone ever tells you that phono stages are easy, they they have only build easy phono stages

It will be worth it I am sure Andrew if the sound we heard in the hum at mine is still there.

Thats even better, nothing is clean in the conection so it all gets fixed after its got to the other end. Ideal I would have said.

What was the problem?

I said, I had found Chineese amps that were close to the edge, not that they all were.

I do something very similar with the LCR.

Good way of finding out just how low impedance the supply is

You mean this Nick?

Close enough

OK, so where's the energy coming from? Possibly from whatever is cauing the background noise? There are loads of these things around, and I've yet to find a convincing explanation of how they work. Google "overunity" or "zero point energy". Well, just possibly the reason for the...

If its singing, I would leave the VR with nothing across it.

Lets recap, does the singing follow the VR, the c3g, or neither?

Surely the evidence is in the listening.

You and me may think that Darren, but trust me, if someone advocates the use of ABX then the listening is taken to have absolutly no validity as evidence.

Yes Neal, you see my point, I agree that snake oil needs to have no place in the market, but it becomes a problem if its the thin end of the wedge. As you say, ABX seems to ensure negative results, and that way lies "any competent amplifiers will sound the same" and "all CD players so...
