Looking good Jeff!
Santa was very kind to you. Are you gonna try your hand at ink filled engraving?
I'm not sure what I want to do yet but I was thinking of mirror polish, then anodize black, then just engrave. Other than the fingerprints it looks good.
Scott,
I have never heard of any such complaints. Perhaps others have a different experience. Most parts are made with improved processes that are simply too new to have such an experience. In any case I fully expect them to outlast me.
It's not a complaint. I was just wondering if degradation of the oxide layer is a "thing" like with polarised electrolytics, admittedly probably only those used in PSU's. I couldn't find any information about it anywhere, so I'm presuming not, but thought I might ask here.
It's always good to ask. I have noticed that I seem to blow up fewer parts these days than what I did 20 years ago. There is very little evidence that I am any smarter. I suspect the parts in question are better built and can survive more of my abuse.
You are probably more thoughtful and not as much shooting from the hip ;-)
That must be it.

Hi Carl,
I use polarized electrolytic cap as recommended by Doug Self. i have 35V Elna Silmic II. C14 on your Schematic and PCB is reversed for same C14 in Linear Audio Vol 5 article page 150. Could you confirm that the schematic in Linear Audio Vol 5 article is the one that is correct? if yes i have to reverse C14 on your PCB. Thank

That's a really good question that has not been asked before! Orientation didn't matter with the caps that I used, but ...
if you are building with polarized Silmics, I would follow the direction as published in the Linear Audio article.
Did anyone measure the offset voltages? Since the offsets are so low, I do not think polarity is problem.
When in doubt I use Nichicon UES or film.
DougS has written that he prefers large V and C to minimize the low freq THD in ecaps.
I also read that someone in the forum measured ecap thd on a number of models/brands, the Nichicon Muse BP UES series was the winner, but only marginally.

I'm sorry, but I should have advise that I had not used Rick G's post # 876 files yet..
you are right, unfortunately that it don't fit...i am changing right now the measurements...
Carl by any chance, do you have the quad rca phono socket pdf datasheet?
Thanks

Sorry, I don't but they are easy enough to measure with a linear caliper. I am not at home right now or I would do it myself.
Well, if nobody else responds I will measure them in a couple of days when I have access and opportunity. Are you looking to create a 1U back panel to go with the front panel FPDs that I previously provided?
