Bonzour from Mauritius

MrDodo · 29th July 2005, 06:48 AM

Hi,
Am Newbe DIY from Mauritius.
For those who don't know, Mauritius is a small beautiful island in the Indian Ocean.
We speak French, English, Creole most of the time.
I am an Oracle Database Administrator and been working in many countries South Africa, France, Togo, Morocco and Ivory Coast.

Complete Newbie, my first attempt is amp3 from 41hz.com
Good lord, I didn't know these SMD were so small.
It's working now, but I got one diode the wrong way first.
That's it.
Cheers.

Hi MrDodo,

Welcome to the forums. Hope you project finishes better than it started. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

If you soldered the amp 3 then you are already admired by many around here. That SM is a bit intimidating. I haven't been brave enough to try it. Most people seem to get them working though, but usually with a scary story like you have!!

Hey MrDodo

Welcome - nice to see ya. I am from South Africa just above your island

How did your amp turnout - are you impressed with the sound?

Hi all,
The amp3 sound is verrry good.
I mean compared to stock Sonic Impact, the bass is well in another league.
I have stopped altogether using the stock SI until I have some time modifying the input caps.
I have another amp3 that I assembled, and I am making the case in which to install it.
Ordered 2 the first time, in case the first went wrong.
You people should listen amp3 and Monica2 DAC (www.diyparadise.com) at least once.
These two are made for each other.
Hello South Africa...
Somethimes I feel I'm the only one DIY in Mauritius!
Will post some pics later.
Cheers.
