I saw Martina using those cristals inside the Garrard TT in Krefel and I also met another guy who sold them and had a really "dead" sounding room full of those..... Piramidal effect ?!
Hi Ricardo, I would not. Tantals are very sensitive to the wrong polarity, and the 1uF is used in the servo if I'm not mistaken so it may see both polarities.... you could put a bigger cap and reduce R48 accordingly, for example.
(have a bunch of these caps, should have put them in the bag to you... if only I had known.... ;-)
Eager to hear what yours sounds like ;-)
Hi Alfred
Thank you for your comments and unconditional help. In the servo I am going to use a very good quality film cap I salvaged from another project.
I will try to find some small films in RS for the 1u on the shunts.
This is the most beautifull pcb I ever worked with... Soldering is a breeze and I can even replace parts without "pad lifting" issues.
I took my time to match all the transistors to 1%. Also matched all resistors, zeners and leds
(I must measure everything because my sour eyes do not help a lot)
After the last evolutions I believe it will sound wonderfully.
I am looking forward to make a comparison listening session.... I will be moving to Switzerland in the near future (where my Dear Wife already set a better lab for me) so it will be easier for me to travel and meet other Mpp Team menbers

Yes, Ricado, we should do an ATL meeting. Preferably in my place that is aprox. in the middle. In may it is beautiful here.
You can get cheep flights to Paderborn-Lippstadt airport. We can also visit the Nixdorf Computer Museun and later have some Suschi in the bar of my friends. Fear not, it is not as expensive as in Düsseldorf.

Hi, I used OPA134 for the servo. And I was listening to both FPS and PAradise just before I left, in fact my wife was out so I had a few hours with the LP12, the phono stages and my headphone, with undisturbed back-and-forth (usually people get that "he's crazy" look when they see you listen the same song multiple times ....). That was the basis of my last comments.
back on sunday, and I should be able to do some measurements next week which should really answer a few questions....
