Got a pair of replacement woofers for the Saloras today from a mate, as the suspension on one has gotten loose, and I'm unsure if it can be fixed without refoaming completely, which could become a quite expensive story.



Heavy duty stuff, they weigh about 2.5kg each.

If my neighbours were that whiny, I'd be dead. Top-mounted drivers aren't exactly neighbour-friendly

V-dac (beating the pants off sound cards and weighs in at £150ish Winner!)

thrice times inputs... Computers, CD players.. erm squeezeboxes... whatever really

Note the impressive £1.60p ferritte coil mod


My recommended 2point audio solution, optical from PC`s worked best and COAX for the CD player (Handy!) not tried USB thus far.

Worth the spend for sure but besides a listen all day sound it wont fill real high end shoes... just isnt accurate enough to give real image space from the tip of your nose to infinity... not that much is really (not for even mildly insane cash)

what do those round things do? i see them on usb cables aswell

 

[BobbyBubblehead]

A ferrite bead is a passive electric component used to suppress high frequency noise in electronic circuits. Ferrite beads employ the mechanism of high dissipation of high frequency currents in a ferrite to build high frequency noise suppression devices. Ferrite beads may also be called ferrite cores, ferrite rings, ferrite EMI filters, or mistakenly as ferrous beads.

or in other words stop the conduction of unwanted frequencies in a signal/cable.

Heres my bling bling speaker termination board... its so blingy #Laughs#

never did photo the 3c pre amp in one piece

power supply with super high quality erm logo sticker #Laughs# (as well it sounds amazing)

Mine:
Pioneer Sx-980 driving a set of speakerlabs. Sansui SE-7 Equalizer and a AR XA turntable. Gotta love the warm analog sound. It's the first thing I come home to everyday. Takes the edge off the day Nothing like plopping down and throwing on a Floyd record and enjoying a glass of vodka

The Pioneer had a burned out display bulb in those photos. I've since replaced it

 

[Sir Barton]

^now thats a sweet setup^. The Pioneer SX series is awesome.

 

[shellshock]

Thanks! I had been wanting a true GOOD audio setup for a long time and finally bit the dust. It's nearly a obsession now. I can't quit scouring cragslist for old audio stuff, haha.

 

[Freezer7Pro]

Augh, Pioneer silverfaces!

I get the shivers every time I see them, as it makes me think of an SX-1980 I saw at the dump, going straight to recycling.

Mine:

Nice volvo chair in the background. What year/model do you have? I am rocking a 97 850 wagon.





Just picked this up from the original owner with original box and paperwork for $20. It was dirty and crackly, but I cleaned it all up.

DIY accepted?

My class AB power amp.
I designed the board but copied someone's schematic.

Filter Caps (for testing atm... need bigger caps)

Temporary case:

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

That's nice. I like the internals and the case.

 

[Audioaficionado]

DIY

Excellent layout and build quality

 

[ratbuddy]

Very nice. Seeing those trannys on them big old heatsinks made me wonder.. Anyone ever watercool an amp?

haha, nice. That would be great.



I am loving the DIY stuff. I am excited to have time/money later in life to start building my own solid state amps.

 

[Albaholic]

wow that is some beautiful work

hears my set up guys let me know what you think.
