This is the first attempt to get Thorstens Delta-Sigma circuit working and see what it does. So I mostly built it out of components I had laying around (especially notice the ugly blue ceramic suppression caps, since I didn't have 100n film caps...).

I used a piece of aluminium with two holes for the tubes and hardwired the circuit. I wired the passive filter on a piece of veroboard and connected it to the outputs of the DAC.

I have a HV tube PSU that I use for the supply to the circuit and used a small PCB tranny for the heater voltage. In the end I want to mount the tubes horizontally and fit everything in the player.

Ray.

You'll never fit *that* psu in *that* cd player!

/hehe, I think I got there first

So, err, is it all like tubey distortion, or is it just 'correct'? I've never heard tubes

I don't think the big bit on the right will fit the standard case!

Is this a copy of the Thorstens circuit or have you changed it at all??
