Based on others comments previously it seems to depend on the stand/shelf material in combination with the feet material.

I've used both but never really noticed much difference except with an old plastic philips player using sorbothene feet and sitting on a very thick heavy wooden base (chopping board!).

With oak feet I got fed up with the player sliding back everytime I pressed a button.

Yeah, now that everything is working again and you have a stable player, you can start thinking about further tweaks that can be done. The CD67 is very tweak-friendly, and there's a lot of room on the board for larger capacitors.

A decent clock, improved analog filter, or go all the way and build a DOS :-)

ray,
Im looking@ your flea boards minus the crystal where do you get the tentlabs crystal from?,Also are they dual output as 16.934/8.46.for the servo or do i need a divide by circuit.
thx ray alan

Hi Alan,

The Tentlabs XO can be ordered... at Tentlabs

There are also dealers available worldwide, but they do not all sell the DIY products like the XO. In case you decide to order a Flea board, I can get one for you as well, I order there regularly.

The Flea board has two outputs, but they are both taken from the XO's output. So a divider is needed for the servo. Or a second Flea

Regards,

Ray

You know what's better than The Flea, Alan?

Two Fleas!



I got my oscillators direct from the TentLabs web shop, but it did take a few weeks. Guido recommends ordering from one of his resellers if you want them in a hurry.
Adding these made a HUGE difference to my player.

Edit: Ah, Ray beat me to it!
