That would depend on what you had in mind.
As a CD player buffer, it is probably not the best solution.

If you check out the CD63/67 mods thread, the best thing to do with the HDAM is bypass it !!

"Q: is it the PCB only or also the other components too? is it stereo or mono? thanks Federico

What du you make out of that? Is it pcb only or a complete kit with all the parts?

It says stereo in the listing and also that it includes high quality parts (ie nichicon muse, etc), so I would guess it has all parts. Not bad on the face of it for $30, but what can be done with it?

UH ohh,

I think that's for the pcb only, There is another listing with complete parts for $99.90= http://cgi.ebay.com/Marantz-HDAM-Mod...4.c0.m14.l1262

Or you can bid on this http://cgi.ebay.com/Marantz-HDAM-Mod...4.c0.m14.l1262 I think it's got complete parts, But you can always ask the seller.

FYI, I recently won a bid form that seller for a precision power regulator kit that has a buy it now price of $99.90, I won it for $34- and paid for it, I have yet to received the kit though, maybe next week.http://cgi.ebay.com/SPEEDO-MK2-Regul...4.c0.m14.l1262

"but what can be done with it?"

YOu can put it in one of these chasishttp://www.thlaudio.com/indexE.htm , add a cocktail of volume control , input selector, power supply and your choice of connectors . you got yourself a high end preamp.

FYI again, I just asked the seller how much the top most chassis is, It cost around $160- usd.

I hope you receive thisitem.

The seller is well-known for not sending items and refusing to refund etc. there are several threads on this forum about Tzeng Albert.

1. This seller is a well-known scam artist so purchase is not recommended.

2. Look carefully !! The listing above is for the PCB only. No components are included. LOOK CAREFULLY!!

This is typical of his listings.
His components are not always genuine.
Do a Search for the seller to find warning threads.

Be warned.

Andy

PS Sorry for not posting the warning earlier. Wrong time of day for me.

Ahhh, Thanks,

But anyway, I will keep you updated when(And if I received the regulator, in this thread, I will let you see whether the components are genuine or fake.
