Iron Pre Essentials Kits For The DIYA Store - Register Your Interest

Yah, my reasoning for the soldering of possible mistakes is as much about how much I trust myself as anything else. It is especially hard when I have made the same mistake twice in a row! I doubt many people do that, really. So when woodworking or electronics, or even driving in a city that I am nor familiar with, extra caution just has to be used. Sometimes what I learn is that I am not the guy you want in the drivers seat. With experience of course, it gets better (usually).
All in all, I keep ordering kits from DIY Audio for very good reasons.
 
Hello Zen Mod,

I received a Iron Pre from the store. I bought it so I could build and measure it and all that just for fun.

Is there a white paper that tells what a Iron Pre is and what it does? What it does and how it does it?

You know something that puts the information from thousands of posts all in one place.

I will provide APx555 measurements.

Thanks DT
 
Iron pre is for chickenzezzz and ducklings. Meet Siegried and Papa, new arrivals.

Hear hear!
 
Hello IPA-builders,

another step forward: finished my external - transformer-case today. Did some measurements - especially how low-ohmic is my earthground-connection between AC-powerplug and the preamp (below 0,6 Ohm).
Still some metal-work left. Cage for the cinemags....
Cheers
Dirk 😉
