Been working on an idea for my own faceplate artwork...its a rough sketch

You are very cute, thank you

I can send M4 for free and insulation pad, isolation bushing.

 

[pras1170]

Yep.

I'll have a light panel in plexiglas....

Something like this

Very good, see your work, has been completed

beautiful

My own measurements showed Prasi's to be spot on and the three devices I bought are all a gnat's whisker apart.

thank you

 

[pras1170]

this beautiful thing where I find it ?????

I can give the M4 bushing away for free

Next little step .. stop for today, I put the trimmer to a safe place and now I didn't find them. :-( housing will start next weekend.

nice touch - that plastic screw on BD critters

though - you're just preventing them of Kühlung ..... and they need that




another thing - put those jumpers away , for start .... maybe on same place where you put trimpots

and yes ....... it doesn't matter how I'm thrilled with Edcors ...... absolutely insane bang for the buck ........ but Cinemags are really better sounding

ZM can you put some words on what characterises the sound ( in SissySIT) of the Edcors, Jensens and Cinemags.

LOL, that's kind of sad but funny.
My neighbor, a not so hard core diy'er borrowed my M2 after listening to an F6 with Jensens he had. Clearly liked the M2 much more overall and built his own and totally has no regrets. He's a musician too, but not a professional one.
The standard M2 I listen to in office during the standard work weekday. Makes all kinds of stuff sound very organic and listenable.
The SissySIT I have not listened to any of the Tonkins yet myself, but have a SIT-2 prototype of my own that I bought long ago. It's more detailed, but if you listen to lo-fi stuff, or old digital Tom Waits stuff your going get listener fatigue after a while, because there is no getting around the source. I am considering the edcors for my own SissySit build because I think they may make my vast collection of poor recordings sound better. I am into this game for the music first. But who knows, the Jensens may win here with ZM's implementation.

A pair of Edcors is on hand for the same reasons.
Hopefully, a set of SissySIT boards is in my near future. Ease of conversion to M25 configuration makes this direction a very tempting one to pursue.
