I'm reading like crazy and getting crosseyed!

ALW, is there a newer version of the 317at circuit you have on accoustica.com cd63 tweaks pages? Since I have the 317s, I'd like to use them in the most noise-free way possible.

hi. You may find this interesting:

I'm stil wondering what a low noise regulator would do. My AC on DC signal from the opamp power lines went from about 100mV to about 0,8160 - 0,9150 mV with standard 78CT15 and 79CT15, removed mute & headphone and all BG power supply with standard transformer when playing.

Sounds like verry low noise, I've even measured with 0,005% accuracy 2 days after calibration. Gotta love those Keithley 2000's. They really come in handy when your busy with small signals.

I't nice for pairing resistors too, but that's only about 0,002% acurate on 6,5 digits

Hi,

You can use the new CD63KI list, it's not final yet because i'm still working on that player, but it contains a lot of updated part numbers.

Thanks, your welcome! I'm hoping to update the site soon, with more text and in-depth explanation of the modifications, if I can find the time...

Or in fact reading through a few pages of this there may be better alternatives?

Now as I am quite pushed for free time at the moment and want to enjoy my CD-63 without risking breaking it, I am thinking about paying for a level 3 upgrade from Sercal. Is it worth the money? They do not have any C1 clocks available so have suggested I supply my own. Which is the best clock for this upgrade, and should I be paying out for it, or is it a waste of money for the components he fits?

Ah, I might wait a while then. One thing I saw where the original filter components. Are you going to add new filter components for removing the bump in higher frequencies? I think C605/606 would be 560pF.

One thing I was wondering about, why use ZL as wel as ZLH instead of all ZLH? The price difference is verry small.

My new component list will set me back 200 euro. Oh whell, it's not much when compared to my last stereo upgrades

I'really don't know. Depends on the components he uses. But I think you'll pay most for the houres he makes.

No, for the moment i'm going to stick to the original filter characteristic first, and see how it sounds. Feel free to use the ZLHs instead of ZL, I probably had those in stock and that's how they ended up on the list.

Hi guys

Don't know if my main question got lost in my waffle but while we're talking clocks, Poynton mentioned a Kwak clock oscillator driving a 74xx chip instead of a comparator.

Would this be better than the standard Kwak clock, and if so how would I do it?

Finer points are a bit over my head I'm afraid

Thanks in advance

Jim
