hello,
Just finished my Gainclone, using the PCB's from the BrianGT group buy. Everything went well, everything seems fine, BUT:
With any input other than a portable discman, the amplifier doesn't function properly.
With my passive preamp, the gain is 1 (ie: unity). There is almost no sound unless it's all the way up, in which case there's still not much.
With my CDP with variable out (from my living room system, a CAL CL-15 (really really high-end) there is hideous noise at a very high but consistent level (doesn't change with music). But the amplifier amplifies and music comes out (sounding nice, except for the noise-to-signal ratio).
Advice? Any measurements I can take to find the problem?
thanks,
-tal

). If you mix up the values you will get the result you describe.- Status
