I bet it was FIREWORKS! 😀

While I have his cdp I can extract the urine as much as possible

And fit upgrades

On a KI TX what leads go where?
One got loose( yellow with 2 cores), and fixing that made a couple more come loose. Is there a list of which colour to which pad?

Hi LeeThomo said:Ricardo, that psu will be perfect for the discrete stage.
You've got mail about those Mundorf caps, btw.
have you received my e-mail ?
Re: On a KI TX what leads go where?
I have a Marantz PDF somewhere, that shows all the differences between the OSE/Ki etc. I'll dig it up and post it as soon as i'm home, it can be very handy.

Excellent. I did find a few years back that fitting a KI tx to an SE caused problems due to how they do the windings between the two tx to the pcb and explaining it to people is harder than you might think.

I was just looking at this Tenzing 2 modification package by Audiocom.
They do away with the HDAM but replace it with transformers. The analogue filter is the same, (op-amps changed), so what is the need for transformers? The o/p of the second op-amp is unbalanced and has negligible offset.
I don't see the point unless I'm missing something.

I'm fairly sure it'll be a better way of doing the output than the HDAM, but I think the price is incredible, there's no other way of putting it. Hardly any mods for a LARGE sum of cash.

I'm pretty sure these guys are reading our big thread too:
"The stock CD63 uses HDAM modules and capacitor coupling for the analogue output stage. This area of the CD63 creates a bottleneck in the sound and seriously degrades the output filtered output from the active op-amp stage, masking, veiling sound, reducing detailing, dynamics and realism. "
Exactly the sorts of things we've been saying on here, and now they've started to remove the HDAM too.

Brent
Don't know if there's a BR?, according to data sheet

Simon - I don't think so, that particular package is basically unchanged in over 7years: the CD63 has been around a long time.I'm pretty sure these guys are reading our big thread too
I tried transformers amid a bunch of other weird stuff, once upon a time. Not good for what I wanted.
LOL Audiocom do make me laugh with their Tensing claim of a cdp @ £3500. I've had one in at work as well as the Daku. Defo not that price range!! half of that maybe.

Discrete output
I am finally commited to build a discrete output..
I will initially fire it with only two sregs.... can anyone point the major differences by using two or four sregs (2 per channel?)
