Ilias,

same story here, thank you for doing another run.

 

[lykkedk]

I got mine as well ... Jesper.

 

[lgreen]

I got mine for free!

Got mine today too, but I never paid! at least I don't recall paying....and can't seem to find a relevant payment in paypal?

Hey, how about a paypal invoice?

(2 channels + parts only, no PS)

Oh, and thanks for putting all this together. Appreciate the work, I can understand how it can be tough to keep track of all this stuff.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Maybe your mind is going, gently into the night.

I just went to get the mail and there it was, my Pearl from Deutschland...tis a beauty to behold.

Thanks again Pro, I really appreciate it. I can't wait to start seeing the finished products.

Hi Promitheus,

Today finished the pearl, there was only one problem.
I blow up the fuse from one channel 400mA, the other channel plays.
I removed the IRF9610 and resistor R8, and changed the IRF for an other.
Connected the power supply to it and yes the fuse stay’s in, I measured 29Volt at R8.
At the moment it’s playing and it sounds very very great .
There is a very little hum but I haven’t connected the ground wire from the turntable.
By the way, what is the best way to make a starground and is it connected to chassis or isolated from it.

Anyway thanks again..

Peter.

Another package has arrived

Thanks Promitheus for taking the time to put this together. I received a well packed pearl kit today, now to order the remaining parts.

 

[BWentler]

A box was waiting at the front door.

Got home last night and found a present in front of my door.



Opened it up and lots of part came out. Since this will be my first kit I have ever built, I noticed there was no manual in the box. Will I be using the WEB page and/or the locations on the components and/or on the board?

Thanks for all the work you have done to get this group buy to happen!!!!!

Have a look here
Everything what you want to know, is written here...

Remember to mount the caps first, as mentioned in the 'manuel'

Jesper.

 

[lgreen]

caps

Well the resistors go in easily enough and I can measure them to confirm which ones go where, but what about those red capacitors that came? There is some weird notations on them on one side and some helpful (I assume) handwriting on the other, but I don't think I have the decoder ring to decypher either!

Does anyone know how to read the caps, both machine writing and handwriting?

 

[lgreen]

caps #2

OK, I think I figured out at least 1/2 of it.

P334G = 0.33 uF (C13) confirmed on the pearl passdiy link where I can see this on one of the board pictures.
P124G = 0.12 uF (C10) kind of visible on the pearl pass diy link...but not really.
P473G = 0.047 uF (C12) just guessing...
P154G = 0.15 uF (C4, C6, C11) continuing to guess but we have used them all up and there are none left over!

 

[Stevox]

Hi Lgreen,

You are right about the caps.

Peter.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

continuing to guess

Mr G,

after all we've been through, the least i would have expected from you was to set up an RC and measure the drop on your lovely Beaverton Tek.
