Look at that. Even getting blessings from Jesus while playingChecked everything and found a $%×=€£%%&^ short circuit in one of the xlr's, a hair thin wire.
Grounded the unsused inputs of the SE buffers.
The hum is very very quiet, one can hear it near the speakers - it will go with the donuts.
And - it sings, it sings beautiful 😍 It is unbelievable clear, detailed, with huge dynamics, great mids, crisp highs and deep and dry bass... the instruments are placed wide and deep on the stage. I'm speechless and get goosebumps
Many thanks for this, Mighty ZM

No I don't believe Ol' Mighty One saying this is (some of) the best. I'm sure I wouldn't like it at all! Bah! Meh!

(TBH, this turtle pumpkin-thing looks frighteningly good)
Oh yes, sadly I have to contribute to the GDP so had not much time today, but the evening is comingstill happy?

I think you have your own disposal facility and you try to persuade careless DIYers to send the "craps" to youIt is for sure complete and utter crap![]()

Nice try 👍
...and it sounds frighteningly good 😀 But yeah, maybe nothing for you...No I don't believe Ol' Mighty One saying this is (some of) the best. I'm sure I wouldn't like it at all! Bah! Meh!

And if crappy, you can send it to @andynor

Yeah, but the thing IS from his facility, so...Hey... I thought I was the OZMLDF!![]()

Allready saving up and preparingIf its crappy I‘ll keep it!
Though… andy would deserve it (too)…

Allready saving up and preparing![]()
It’s sissystuff, a dishwasher, you can send it overhere even unbuilt, really!
Gosh!
You (uhm, us) boys are so greeedy!
OPLDF cruncher = 40 years of Mighty experience and Shlivo thought processes, merged with Bozoz and parts from old TV’s, resulting in magic of Zardoz preampyeah
that one is literally spit out from OPLDF Cruncher

Too Old for Shlivo, as everyday's ingredient

Aaahh, I forgot. Then all the above is true, then final iteration was conceived with the help of Rakija, coffe and SuSy?Too Old for Shlivo, as everyday's ingredient

Just a short question. I use in my Pumpkin the thin wires of a VGA-cable - is it okay or should I use something different instead? 

no
0.1 is reserved for my personal use - solid core silver enameled - pulls from screen of some fancy RG45 cables - risky to put in someone else's gadget, with transport etc.
in general - something as 0.25 solid core silver enameled, have some old stock, dunno what fancy name
there is regular Kynar wire around, in that thickness
though - thin wire from VGA is OK

OK - means - for my ears and stubbornness , it is not best, but OK
though, entire package deliberately made to get wiring as short and as clean is possible
recently I even enclosed route from buffers to Turtle on pcb, so now even those routes are short and strictly vertical
all that, to minimize importance of wiring and wire itself
so - use something not too thick, and you're good
power wires - something thicker and certainly not solid core ......... I mean - even that is arranged that usual length of small Donut wires are enough to reach pcb, so sole power route is one twisted pair from pcb to rotary volume control, or 3 twisted wires in case of logic control/TFT thingie
