Finally, an affordable CD Transport: the Shigaclone story

[Erik van Voorst]

Today I screwed the left and right ebony ribs in place ...

 

[Erik van Voorst]

The innerpart of the ribs will get a 3mm copper strip ...so in the end I have a fully closed copper surrounding for the electronics...

 

[Erik van Voorst]

....a bit of cocobolo to get the bottomplate firmly attached on the frontside....the use of cocobolo is merely for looks...

 

[Erik van Voorst]

...and since all the strips are 3mm smaller than the ebony I can put the 3 mm copper plate on top and flush with the ebony...herewith closing the environment...

For the uncensored picture...



I do want to give each print its own livingroom
So today I made 2 partitions...

I used a cork example the size of a print...

 

[Erik van Voorst]

...and that means sawing/grinding and thread....

 

[Erik van Voorst]

.....two done ..that is one for the Connectors-board
(bnc- aes- rca- at&t- spdif) and behind that one for its Superregulator board..

Hey, a bad thought struck me this evening - I think its time for us to start getting worried. Erik is making such good progress with this transport that he will soon be finished. What will we do then?

What else? Fly to Rotterdam and listen to it in his whole system!

I figure Erik will come up with an even better and more interesting variant in relatively short order... 😀

I will be getting the Peter board and crystal and resistor soon.

I am looking for one set of Black Gate components for the Shigaclone mod.

Can someone help me with the Blackgate cap please.

Nope

I am more a set and forget type....I will go thru an enormous trouble do achieve something and after that I can enjoy it immense and leave it alone for quite a while....e.g. my Wadia 23 was more than 16 years old and my amp/pre-amp 30 years and my previous speakers 15 years, powerchords 16 years etc....

Thats no good to us! 😉

Has somebody experience with Rubycon zlh 1000uf/50v and zl 1000 uf/35v caps?

 

[Magura456]

Peter, do you still have the citizen 300-8441 crystal?
I'd like too buy one from you.

 

[Peter Daniel]

Yes, I do.
