Updated assembly guide

Hi all, here some smallish updates to the assembly guide. Some guys have contacted me with the goal to translate it to german - I have sent the file and they will be posting it here, many thanks in advance!! (sorry don't have the time, the components have arrived and I will be busy packing...)

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Thanks for putting up this updated version.

Hello everyone,

Paradise has finally arrived in the USA. I was sorting transistors this morning when the postman dropped the box off.

I would like to thank the MPP Team for developing this project and offering it to the DIY community.

Gentlemen, do we think there might be any benefit to using Vishay foil resistors in the RIAA?

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Why not ?
They have a slightly more analytic sound then the Dale RS65 i like.

 

[pdul]

I have used velwyn 0,1%, never tried them before, hope it sounds ok

On the first paradise and my differnt variants I found that decoupling with fast caps (film or ceramic) is essential for mirror stability. Think this could be the reason for a wandering offset.

Anybody with a take on interconnects between preamp cabinet and psu cabinet?
Wire? connectors? Etc.?

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

I use Neutrik Powercon. As cable you can use a big sized microphone cable.
I use Klotz and Sommer.

For example this one :Studio Mikrofonkabel - KLOTZ A.I.S. GmbH Onlineshop

 

[pdul]

Looks good.
I will be running four cables, two for paradise, one for lineamps, and one for relay volume and input selector

Hi pdul, I used a cable with 6 wires and industrial connectors:

DIN-Kabelstecker, gerade Pole: 6 SV 60 Lumberg im Conrad Online Shop | 733239

DIN-Einbaukupplung, Frontmontage Pole: 6 KFV 60 Lumberg im Conrad Online Shop | 733020

Not sure the pre-reg needs to be removed, but it sure helps with installation.....

Most important is how you route the GND inside the cabinet. I made some comments about this in the assembly guide, that worked well for me. With a preamp that is SO low noise it is important to not spoil the performance elsewhere....

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

That Lumbergs are good and more compact then the Neutriks.

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

This has 7 cables plus a shield :sommer cable - Kabel Stageboxen Multicoresysteme Mikrofonkabel Stagebox Lautsprecherkabel XLR Stecker Gitarrenkabel Instrumentenkabel Neutrik Hicon

For the PSU I am using those

ITT 10 A 7 pole
Buy Industrial & Automation Circular Connectors 7 way ITT JC chassis socket,10A ITT Cannon 127039-0022 online from RS for next day delivery.
I have been using those for past 6 years or so.

Pictures of it on MY Paradise tread.

Still nothing wrong whit other ones suggested

Can you send me a link to those RS65s you like...

Cheers,
