Is anyone using rhem sorbothane feet are thay any good are oak ones better
Based on others comments previously it seems to depend on the stand/shelf material in combination with the feet material.
I've used both but never really noticed much difference except with an old plastic philips player using sorbothene feet and sitting on a very thick heavy wooden base (chopping board!).
With oak feet I got fed up with the player sliding back everytime I pressed a button.

Pete

Yeah, now that everything is working again and you have a stable player, you can start thinking about further tweaks that can be done. The CD67 is very tweak-friendly, and there's a lot of room on the board for larger capacitors.
A decent clock, improved analog filter, or go all the way and build a DOS 🙂

re flea
ray,
Im looking@ your flea boards minus the crystal where do you get the tentlabs crystal from?,Also are they dual output as 16.934/8.46.for the servo or do i need a divide by circuit.

Hi Alan,
The Tentlabs XO can be ordered... at Tentlabs
There are also dealers available worldwide, but they do not all sell the DIY products like the XO. In case you decide to order a Flea board, I can get one for you as well, I order there regularly.
The Flea board has two outputs, but they are both taken from the XO's output. So a divider is needed for the servo. Or a second Flea 🙂

You know what's better than The Flea, Alan?
Two Fleas!
I got my oscillators direct from the TentLabs web shop, but it did take a few weeks. Guido recommends ordering from one of his resellers if you want them in a hurry.
Adding these made a HUGE difference to my player.
Edit: Ah, Ray beat me to it!

SPower - at last getting some well deserved press!!
Clock wise, I think I'll stick to either my own or ones that I trust!!!!
Not sure how many of you nip onto Brents site but I've just found this advanced review of his SPower HC thats in HiFi choice mag in January in his reviews section. You know I've got 8 or 9 of these and they are absolutely superb. Its about time he started to get some recognition.

Hi All,
I was about to do Mauro Penasa's tweak by adding 330pf caps in filter section. Is this tweak applied only if we use opamps? Or can it be done even if go for discrete output?
Just to clarify before doing it. Thanks in advance.

another successful CD63 mod
Have been away from this forum for some time busy in carrying out modding my CD63 MKII KI. Now the project has been completed with great success and here are a few photos showing the work that I have done.
My next project will be modding another CD63 SE 😛
