It's CPC Farnell, but here's the link to the main web page

By the way, where did you get your heat sinks for your amplifier?

Managed to order some bits online a few minutes ago but a lot of the good stuff has already gone, especially the 18V secondary trasformers I wanted for my F5 🙁
Saw a link to some 35V 30000uF caps - that might ease the pain of missing the transformers for your F5. Think they were 70p each!

Thanks guys for the link
I have just bought 14 transformers, I must be mad!
They don't have a large capacity but will be fine for dacs, buffers etc...
I couldn't find the 30000uf caps
Richard 🙂

Hi Westers
Its an Alchemist Kraken commercial amp
After reading alot of positive comments about this transport (even comments like "the last CD transport I'll ever own) I decided to build one myself.
I have stumbled across 2 pcs of EZ51H so purchased both immediately 😉
As I'll only need 1 player the other is up for sale for anyone who would like to build the Shigaclone also. 😀
It is located in Denmark and in-a-box brand new.
After having read many of the pages (but still not all) does the PDF contain the mods worth doing or are there more? As the thread is so long and people have started modding system specific also it is quite hard to keep track 🙂
Also, thank you for sharing both initial mods (peter etc.) and pictures of your finished transports as inspiration 🙂

Hi
Can someone tell me what transformer va/secondary voltage they are using supply power to the transport mechanism? I have a 100va 2x12v powering everything at the moment.
Thanks
Richard

I'm currently using a 30VA 2x12V CT. I'm quite satisfied with it, but because many users have claimed a sound improvement with a more powerful transformer, I'll certainly try it out.
Yesterday I replaced the main/audio board with a power supply around a 7808. I'm still using the stock transfo and rectifier board (minus the 3300μ cap), but that will be replaced as well in the future.
The attachment show the current setup. No mods to the CD-board yet,

Hey where did you get fiberglass stripboard Jitter?

guys - I've just joined having been lurking silently for a while and have read (most of!) this thread with great interest with a view to making myself a decent transport at last!
I've stumbled across a decent supply of B grade RC-EZ51's - with scratched bodies, damaged boxes etc - which would be perfect for this sort of project ...... all at around £35 delivered
So ......... has it been confirmed that the EZ51 is useable and pretty much the same as the EZ31?
have any problems materialised from using the 51 rather than the 31?
if not - I gotta get me one
PS - I do obviously intend to read the WHOLE thread asap - but thought I'd be cheeky and slot this question in here - hope you don't mind!!🙂

The ez51h can be used also and there are small differences in display and button layout as far as I remember.

Yup.

Nope, apart from differences in layout, they're more or less the same, with the CD-board/mech even being identical.

Do you have an ASDA near you? I purchased two 31s for £25 each
Richard
guys that's great - I'm on the case!🙂
having found the B grade stuff for £30 odd quid - they are only £39.95 from Argos - brand spankers
might just pop down there tomorrow and bag me one...
cheers again fellas
