[Martina Schoener]

Hi Holger, Hi Jacco, and .....

That you are all on a 24 hours scedule is still a medical "Wunder"
With Joachim, I stopped wondering when it turned out that we can share a ETF-Rest & Showroom without "meeting" in the same timezone at all....
Holger - I look forward to hear from your experiences - last week when I was with Joachim we heard the new Amy Winehouse and the new Kate Bush with one of the Phonostages from this thread- simply wonderful experiences

I like the spirit of this MPP Thread Team

You are great , Guys!!!!

So at least this year 2011 ends with something good, because of your way of teaming up!

Best to all of You!

Martina

Jose`, these are LC Audio low noise regulators. Then there is on board RC filtering plus all Opamps decoupled locally. All double mono.
Thanks Martina. This thread changed for the better since we have teamed up. Things get faster and more professionally done ( although this is a hobby ) and we will now have a completed circuit with PSU including PCBs.
That will enable people to build the Paradise stage much easies then before where i only posted fragments or perfboard 2p2 and dead bug designs. Some miss my porcupines though.
Does it answer the question that i always get : "How can i build the best phonostage in the world for minimum outlay, success guaranteed". Maybe not but we come close.

In my simulation C16 and C 17...makes the shunt prone to oscillation...How does this look in real life..??

kp1830 are a bit expensive anyway

Michael, I do not see any oscillations in the build version, the fact that it is ‘on the verge of stability' is sort of built in (and (I think)) a feature of shunt’s. Anyway nothing shows on the scope, up to 300 MHz.

Got the 327/337 from Frans today. By using the Atlas DCA on a few of the them they look like hovering around 430 Hfe both NPN-PNP +/-5% Thanks Frans.

 

[RCruz]

I will make some photos and i assume they do too.
I got a haircut from Gudrun today. I look like a chicken.
No, this visit was planed for some time. We have to talk about the karma of the universe.
I am an expert on that. After all black holes are burned out and the particles are moved far away enough from each other so that the red displacement is so high that they do not see each other any more there is chance for a quantum potential. That can lead to a new big bang.

You mean that if the particles are so far away from each other, they will reverse it´s motion and start going back together until they colapse into a primeval big bang ?

PS: Got the 327/337 yesterday. Thank you Frans.

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

I do not know what happens at the edge of the universe. Maybe time stands still. Yes, i think there was something before the big bang and also there will be something in the future after the universe that we know is no more.

 

[Benedetto]

This much is true. 😀

 

[Salas]

Joachim, will we need to absolutely match the BJTs for the mirrors in the phono?

 

[Onvinyl]

Yes, i think there was something before the big bang and also there will be something in the future after the universe that we know is no more.

Since time doesn't exist before or after our universe you can proclaim whatever you like! 😱

And since you/I may proclaim whatever you/I like, time has existed before and after... go figure 🙂

 

[RCruz]

It is all very subjective... acording to Eisntein, time gets slower and slower untill we reach the speed of light where time is still. If we manage to go faster than that speed limit, than time should start to count backwards right ?

I like this for no better reason than Kant disagreed with Scotland's philosopher, Hume!!🙂

 

[Bksabath]

😀Wow don't know much but 6.6 X10 @-32 is realy Fluffing me off😀. Would you please get that sorted or at least publish the last SCH.

Yes I know is here some where but please just this once.

Salas, I match Hfe in mirrors usually to 10%. When there is an unbalance you can adjust the emitter resistors.
Frans, have you also send some transistors to me ?

 

[Benedetto]

Frans, have you also send some transistors to me ?

Mine arrived yesterday, thanxalot.
Money is on its way.

Back home ans done with prepping pictures.
As usual, visiting Joachim was absolutely inspiring and gave food for a lot of thoughts. His current system is plays absolutely amazing, clearly the best I have ever heard from dipole speakers. Extremely fast and detailed, fantastic dynamics. Not for the faint hearted, but unbelieveable convincing in terms of generating a true live atmosphere.
You'll find some pics here - sorry, the text is in German only, and by now I don't have the patience to translate it all.
And I am sure Jaochim will tell you everything you want to now about what's to be seen on the pics.

Thank you very much Joachim - it was a blast. Dinner was great also, and your haircut is absolutely fine 😀.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Thanks for the pics, cool LP gathering.

(nice haircut, ganz Menschlich, gel)
