Help Needed

Hi

A bit of a long shot, but I guess it's worth a try.

I'm a bit of a novice with regards to DIY audio, but coming from a background of very limited electrical knowledge and no soldering experience, I've managed to build Tom's modulus-86, RJM audios Emerald phono stage and a pair of Frugel-Horns.

I needed a preamp for the modulus-86 and decided to build Tom's Neurochrome Differential 8x2 preamp. However, I'm stuggling to get it to work possibly due to my lack of experience with SMD components. I don't think I'm a million miles away from getting it to work and Tom has been very helpful in trying to help me out. I can't help thinking though, that as I try to rectify one problem, I am unwittingly creating other prolems as I go along and feel like I'm going round in circles.

Is there anyone out there who would be prepared to take a look at the board and fix any errors? Any help would be very gratefully appreciated.

Ideally, I'm hoping someone who lives nearby would be able to take a look at the board for me. I'm prepared to keep on perservering, but someone who is more experienced than I'm am would probably be able to retify any problems a lot quicker than I can.


I live just outside Oxford, UK
