Great, thanks Peter,
i thought I would have to dissassemble to get a serial number or something (stated in the ebay ad)
........ yup, 16 in mine as well.

bought and worked out at 10euro for anyone in euro land

Based on my first hand experience Lars Clausen's designs and products have always been exceptional. That said, one of his latest products begs a couple of questions.
Neutron Star Reference Clock
Who among us is willing to try a $510USD reference clock?
Would such a clock benefit our Shigaclone?

Fran
Yes. And when you install it, take good note of the instruction to remove the solder bridge that protects the laser diode. I bought my spare mech from a fellow member here and I thought it was faulty because I didn't know about that. Works fine now though. 😎

This evening I went again ahead with the display...
I really take my time with this for it is directly in view
.................(hence the word display
)
This frontpanel will get the toc-switch, the standard (be it blue)
display with for me sufficient info, and 2 buttons start and stop
BTW The stop button will be connected to the trackselection (forward) a far better deal since the toc automatically takes care of stop...I forgot...

I like the display panel
Hi All

Lovely work Erik and tripmaster.
I too am wondering about a pulse transformer. I have one of them sitting here doing nothing, but I have read (IIRC) somewhere that Peter didn't think they were as good as the resistors on the output.
Anyone tried it and listened?

Hi Fran,
I was planning on using pulse transformer after the resistors , would this work ? anyone

Well Trippy, What a stunner. Looks a million dollars, but sounds s*ite right 😀
Is that a cardboard case ?

Hi Guys
disassembled the boombox yesterday, just replaced/removed the components as depicted in okapi's pdf, I must say
wow.
Well, I didn't use fancy components (no BG), only a couple Cerafines I had around and a Nichicon Muse. PS is simple 7808 based.
digital out connected to PDaniel's Premium NOS DAC (thanks Peter it sounds very good) and to Aleph P1.7 + F4.
back to listening session, now.
Thanks
Vale

Looks just like an LMB aluminum chassis box to me..

can you take a pic or describe where this solder bridge is located?

Regarding transformers, don't take their advantage for granted: listen to both setups and choose the one you like better. I usually prefer the sound without tranformers, and without coupling caps, but the latter sometimes can't be avoided. In that case my first choice is ERO1837 or 1830.
