A week? I just listen to mine now! Gotta be nine months or something...
Tempted as I am to put all my music (as FLAC files) on an NAS server (QNAP probably) feeding a Squeezebox over wi-fi, plugged into a nice DAC... which I'd probably make... CDs are so yesterday...

I know this seems a bit off topic, but can you explain your text please ? I am always interested in new tech 😉
FLAC files (what are these?)
NAS server (QNAP probably) (Hard disk server ?)
Squeezebox over wi-fi (Is wi-fi speedy enough to transmit real time music ?)
so yesterday ( your tech is so much better ?)

Very nice! Very tidy too.
Good to see it's sounding good
(if that makes sense).
I have had a productive day also. Fitted two extra 5v sregs. So now have them on decoder, hf & servo analog rails. Going to add some dedicated psu's now.
Can't get over how much better than my cd67 this '63 sounds, with far fewer psu's too!
I may post a pic when I've tidied it up a bit and added some psu's.

edit: gotta keep up with Simon's. Can't have him bringing his here and being beaten in my own home!

No burn marks!
Hmmm, you may be better off without the bypass caps, imo.
I'm gonna wait til my Mundorfs arrive before building most of the psu's I think.
If anyone has any ideas where I can mount a rather large 30va toroid for my discrete stage, please tell me!

Hi Lee.Thomo said:
Mine is inside but you can always hang it on the outside (I love the hanging in the back cool look)...😉
By the way, after beeing connected all night, the noises disappeared and the sound is beautifull.... Now I even hear people speaking in the back stage of Keith Jarret.
I now believe the next mod will be the discrete output... 😀

Hehe. Yes, but where? lol.
I think it'll go external in its own small enclosure, but with the rectifier and smoothing cap inside the player. Anyone have any reasons this is a bad idea? Why do manufacturers always rectify in the external case?
Regards, Lee.
Thomo said:
Yes, for an analogue psu, but this is for clocks. It just looks cool.
Thomo said:
It could be to keep the rectification noise / RFI away from the critical circuits.

Hi Ricardo
Glad to see you sorted the problem and can hear improvements. The mounting pcb looks nice too.
The 14V on the opamp output would most likely have been a missing -14V as Lee said.

Hi Brentrowemeister said:
The sound is so much more detailed with this mod... Now I start to understand the possibilities of a discrete output.
I was having a bad contact in the -15v to the left opamp... Now everything is smooth again.
Thank you for all the help and support.

Hi
I still have a small issue..... The remote only works if pointed at less than one inch from the sensor in the CDP.
I do not know what started this but it is like that for a couple of month now.
What should I do to correct this ?
Another question rose .... How does the volume control work ? Does it keep all the information of the CD ?
I seem to notice a better sound and better STN ratio when the volume is 100%.

Ricardo

Change batteries in the handset ?
The volume control works in the digital domain by reducing the amount of bits - therefore it's useless. Keep it at 100% and enjoy the music.

Yes the volume on the 63 should never be used it's awful.
Also check the 5V to the front panel, if this is low then the sensor will be less sensitive as would the transmitter if the remote batts were flat.

Ricardo the TX behind the mechanism?
How is that thing secured in place? I've thought of mounting a tranny there but been stumped as how to secure it and don't want to just rely on friction and inertia.
Also a public thanks to Brent for cleaning up my C1.
