The base is slightly better
You are saying connect the servo supply back to the original and test with the winding to the 12V analog section disconnected
Then parallel the two windings for the 5V and servo, and test again right?
The clock I mean the clock for the decoder (16.934MHz), not the servo clock
Pin 13 is in Pin 14 is CRout
So I connect to 13 and ground 14?
Thanks

The @ben bit was meant for Ben to help with his hum issue or at least to try and establish if it was there previously or at which point its introduced.
With respect your change, I am not aware of the spec's of the STD tx being available anywhere, but as said, I would guess that youre now running on a much lower va winding. As a matter of interest, did you previously bypass the fuses and use a large uF cap pre reg on the 5v side? These have a profound effect on the performance of the transport. I have to be honest and say it's not the way I would look to go. As said, it'll work but I'm fairly sure you'll be further choking the servo supply by using low va transformer windings. You need to keep an eye on the heat of the transformer as you could potentially be overloading the winding.

The new servo tx is actually buzzing, so maybe that's it. I'll have to disconnect it and listen to whether it does it when not connected to the player.
Got a bit carried away doing a hdam bypass removed resistors r613 to r616 sounds now distorted and no volume,
these are 27omn 1/4watt is that right.
newbie or what alan

Those are the supply resistors to the opamps. Without them you'll not have the +/-12v to power them up. I'm surprised you're getting anything through!! I would put links in instead of resistors in any case 😉
Make sure you remove r651-654 these will isolate the hdams from the rails. If you want to isolate the headphones from the audio also remove c901&902 and hook the opamp out too to get it off the supply rails (there are no supply resistors)

Swapped the secondaries, but the hum is still there. The player sounds great otherwise. I wonder, could it just be my op-amps having a field day because I don't have resistors between them and the output RCAs? The hum and DAC noise is only audible at high volume with no output, and I've got an extremely sensitive amp.
I fitted all three transformers and I'm enjoying the increase in detail and depth. My only other problem right now is no display again. There's not too much out there about fitting the display tx. I think I've done it correctly as per Brent's guide, but I've got nothing coming through to the regulator again. The PCB traces are really flakey there for some reason. Beer taking over here too, so just enjoying the music now sans display.

One pair of display secondaries is connected to u311 and u312.
The other is connected to u309 and to u267 via a 16.4ohm resistor.
Did I do that right?

Hello
If this is for transport only use then feed a 16.9 Mhz clock signal into CRIN. If you are using it has a full unit then you need to use a buffered 16.9 Mhz clock signal from the same clock that feeds the dac chip. Lift the dac side of C521 and apply the signal to the leg.

The clock signal is presently supplied to pin 28 of the DAC. The transport works. But when I transferred the clock signal to pin 13 CRIN of the decoder and ground pin 14 CROUT the transport will not work
Anyone got any info my cd52se was playing fine audio went distorted and in service mode now displays 07 p122 any help anyone.
cheers alan
it now wont play but spins up and tries to focus

Errrrm! 07 p122 is a subcode error. 😕

No only mods are opamps it stands for long peirods tho its not my main player.
just pulled it out to have a listen.
cheers alan
C521 is a 10 pf cap. Lifted one leg and fed the clock signal
It works
Pre 5V regulator caps replaced with 22000uf and 4700uf
Supply regulated with 7809 and 7909
+8.88V and -9.24V measured
Is the difference in voltage critical?
Thanks Brent

Try fitting a 470uF cap after the 7809 and see if that voltage increases. I run mine on +/-12V. Also check the supply voltage to the 7809. It will work but it would be better if it was closer to the 9V.
Now it works change the 10pF cap for a Silver Mica and solder it closer to the decoder for further improvements

what are the voltages pre reg?
I've previously run mine on +/-8v regs when they are running off the original supply as I think the rails may not have enough headroom for 9v. Depends on the reg drop out. Looking at the OnSemi 7809 datasheet, you need 2v drop out.
In the main player, i've got a separate TX & PSU and so use 3 pairs of 12v SPowers the same as Brent.

I use a 12V TX which equates to 16.8V pre reg leaving enough V headroom for the SPower.
