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

If you're able to provide these, you're more than enough able to comprehend everything from first few posts of this very thread, same as (there) linked one, where it first started

:clown:

in short, Iron Pre is ( as always) Unnecessary Complicated ZM's Iteration of Papa's B1T

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 ;)
