It's like finding yourself in a big library when they have all gone home! Seriously empty.
Please somebody say something terribly clever and exciting (like a new disc that sound's fabulous) actually anything will do. MUST NOT DIE!

Well, Jon Christensen with Bobo Stenson on ECM selected recordings should give you a good mood 🙂
I'm still around too🙂
Very busy with work lately, restoring and upgrading some nice old Quad amps, and building a monster, beautiful TDA1541 dac.
I know people comment on cobwebs in wallets, but I had the biggest spider in mine the other day, I'm sure it was going to attack!

I'm still here (or when the forum sends me an email) loitering between trying to make peoples audio equipment sound better.
Interesting it took so long Shep but glad its coming together.

Brent's back! (loitering means hard work?) Yup say 300 hours for break-in. Must be those pesky caps. Read elsewhere a simple tweak about placing a wood "plate" beneath the transformer. Unfortunately not possible with the one in the 67' but I think it would work in the sig. which has a different type. Well I have to contribute something!
It's been so hot I took off the wooden cover on my cdp. Jeez this is a lame posting...I want to do something to my player! never ending itch.

I'm still here too!! Been busy with work but have started building a new 1541 dac using pcb's purchased via the forum as well as carrying a complete cap refresh in my amp.
That DAC looks tasty Ian.
I've been quiet in hi-fi but may mod another CD63 soon, and am about to try and repair my Arcam Alpha that died when a ground wire came loose. My new open baffle speakers need a bit more sanding and then I can start listening to those!

ps - I'm strictly a non-smoker! The cigar was pretty much a one-off!

was just looking for some pics and realised in fact I have been very busy with DIY!!!
Modded my SB3 and built a dedicated linear PSU for the seperate audio rails
Built a 200w mono amp for my centre channel
housed and powered a LM3886 stereo amp from ebay for my rear channels
recapped the Restek with F&T smoothers (from 40000uF up to 80000uF) and FM caps all round
rebuilt internal preamp section with Burson opamps and BG's
Modded a pals CD850MKI by with a few caps and 15 additional 5v regs!
added +/-8v regs to driver section in one of my CD63's
Built new mains leads (similar to RA woven jobbies) with Wattgate iec
Bloody hell its non stop! lol
A few pics attached cos everyone likes pics!!!

Funny how now cable changes are so bloody obvious and not so flattering...musn't go there...can't!
