the 22mV noise?
you have problem with 20mHz scope
mine is a 5mHz velleman portable

Hi Allan,

I'm afraid it's not the scope. The noise is coming out of the player....
Brent measured it too the other day.

give us the details of your present configuration

i didn't think it was the scope.

what frequency is it?
is there any harmonics relevent to it also.

Do you want to know what I have done to my player?
err I have changed almost everything. lol

I am going to compile a full list of mods.

I have 10 regs (mainly Audiocom) so every rail is isolated, all caps and resistors on opamp , dac , servo , rf and hf circuits are 0.1% tol and silver mica. Nearly all my big caps are Black gate.

I have 3x nuvotmen tx as well has the marantz toroidal. All diodes are HexFred.

bypass caps on dac etc. Opamps are a combo of OPA627 and opa132 on browndog pcb.

coax mod

The output caps and HDAM is bypassed with silver wire. muting removed. etc etc

Aaahhhhaaa!!

you have opamps still.

Have you done any mechanical mods? I did mod a friends CD63 with lots of bitumen sheets. Not entirely sure if it helped the sound, but it did make it mechanically quieter. Made a near stock CDP over 5kg - so it could nudge yours into double figures


Cheers,

Oh, sorry...misunderstood your scope-joke
Too serious at work here, I think...

I tried triggering my scope to the various clock signals in the player, but I can't get a clearer picture. It's too wide-band. Probably HF-residue from the DAC's PWM outputs = lot's of harmonics.

I placed an extra 100p capacitor parallel to the 100p in the filter and that reduces it considerably, so I guess we'll need a higher order filter to get rid of it.

Regards,

Ray.

I'll see if i can find the info about the 44.1Hz noise.
may be lucky

yes harmonics, which are from data and which are from noise?

might have to put a very accuate filter after and then subtract the
known(filter).

ps work does interfere with interesting stuff

i havn't done much in the way of mod's yet. just starting

go back thought the thread and look at the pic's of rowemeister's
it looks awesome

and a far few mechanical mods too

allan

ps or wait for the sumory with pic's too

Hi.

What about replacing the LC filter between the 2 op amps with an active filter?/
