Thanks, It appears that mine are fake, and I have revised my Swap Meet ad accordingly.I took a pair to measure ~ 3.2K on both.
Another pair of different production lot ~ 2.99k on both
can you please share the BOM and the schematics for these 2 gerbers? I apologize if i missed itHere we go, gerbers for grunfs' CCS tube output and a quite raw PSU.
Today I'll be testing the old boards, just in case.
However these are perfected.
hi,Hey can someone who has a known authentic AD1862 check something for me. I have 2 pairs of chips for sale, but am not sure of their authenticity. Nopants suggested that the feedback resistor (on pin 10 as per the AD1862 Data sheet ) should measure 3K, which is also mentioned in the datasheet. If I am reading the block diagram correctly, I should get 3K between pins 10 and 11, but I am not getting that (one measures 22K, others just measure open). Can someone confirm what they get if they measure a real AD1862?
Thanks
I can tell you clearly that the resistance value between 9pin and 10pin of the genuine AD1862N or NJ is 3K
I have two different versions of AD1862NJ. For reference
Go to post #1042. Miro posted the resistances across pins.
here are resistances between pins on a working AD1862:
1-2 = 2R
11-12 = 3k3
13-12 = 6k6
1-3 = 38k
1-12 > 14M
16-12 > 14M
1-16 > 17M
4-9 > 25M or open
8-9 > 25M or open
4-8 > 25M or open
15-12 > 25M or open
5,6,7 - 9 = open
1-2 = 2R
11-12 = 3k3
13-12 = 6k6
1-3 = 38k
1-12 > 14M
16-12 > 14M
1-16 > 17M
4-9 > 25M or open
8-9 > 25M or open
4-8 > 25M or open
15-12 > 25M or open
5,6,7 - 9 = open
I thought you were talking about the LM6171.There is a lot to do, smd opamps to try, pcbs, discrete I/V, PS, digital frontend...
I want to know what adaptations I can do with that opamp to alter the sound.
There is a lot to do for the AD811 sounds better too... But here it is easier, you have to supress some parts of the original G BOM everyone populated as per the shematicc ! 🤣
No. Like I mentioned an LM6171. You suggested to look at the datasheet, which I did...but I don't see anything that I can use. Maybe you can enlightened me.
For this one that is the opposit, no needs to supress parts but at the opposit add some! Look at the page on the layout talking about an input resitor as well as a minimal feedback filtering. For the input, you can't on the classic pcb here where the inverting input is directly seing the dac chip output. Notice instability/oscillation is not always heared but can also contribute to the sound...
Also it has a high slew rate, and certainly high bandwidth, so fast enough : it migth benefice of the smd pcb version instead an adaptator theorically. The slew rate is faster than the AD811's...
Better first to have a proper pcb design for the faster op amps. I think it is more clever than buying expensive discrete designs before as certainly better op amps exists when layouted well and less expensive. IMHO, YMMV of course.
If it sounds good enough as sugested Vunce, keep it like it is. Eventually swap for a DIP8 less fast talked in the thread...

Can oscillation be addressed on the existing PCB?
So far I didn't find information about it.
Only to put an 0,1uF between V+ and V- but I guess it has a lot to do with the quality of the power supply.

depends of the op amp used.
I am not talking about voltage noise.
I surmise the datasheet to be not written for nothing.

HifiTunes,
I think you’re over complicating a simple solution. Use the board as is by plugging an opamp into the socket. If you wish to experiment with more complicated I/V solutions, you need to address it off board or a different board completely. The thread is full of ideas, projects, and opinions on many different I/V solutions.
Start reading through the thread. It is long, but you will find most of your answers.
As Iggy would say…RTFT!!👍🏻
