My First GainClone Project is under way!

3 Years! My follow-up is lacking.

Yes, I did manage to tap the circuitry to make a pre-out on my SA-GX505 receiver. The following links were very helpful in figuring it all out:

SVI 3206 pinout, linked from the above page:

The site where the pinout diagram originated:

And here is my handiwork:

The connection is very simple. I first removed the SVI 3206 module. After confirming that pins 13 and 15 were the right pins, I wired some RCA jacks to the spots where input pins 13 & 15 go. I hooked my grounds to jumper J609, which is signal ground, conveniently located just forward of the SVI module pins.

This receiver and my gainclone amp make a good pair.

EDIT : OOOPS... I didn't notice this is such and old thread. I HATE THAT!!!



I see you've already acquired your heatsinks, but as a fellow
bargain hunter, I found a pretty nice deal on ebay that you
might want to consider. You know, for future projects and such.

Aluminum Heat Sink 3 13/16" x 2 3/4" x 1"
Buy-it-now price : US $1.00
Quantity available : 100
Item location : Oxford, Alabama, United States
Ships to : Worldwide

I'm not affiliated in any way with this vendor, but I have purchased
these heatsinks from him before. The quality is excellent, and
for this price it's too good a bargain to pass up.

SVI module substitution??

Hi there newbie here, I'm in the process of substituting an SVI3204 in a not too dissimilar Technics SU-X502 I have found a nice little pre assembled Toshiba TT1943/TT5200 amp module that suits the existing Power supply in the technics but I'm having difficulty finding the input signal ground I have tried using pin 14 from where the old SVI sat but find it extremely noisy can anybody help point me to the actual correct area or possibly pin I should use as finding any info on these SVI modules is difficult.

Hi there I note in your pictures you soldered your signal ground to that jumper can I ask what pin of the SVI 3206 that jumper connects to??

Hey Mostyn, my Technics receiver has been retired for quite a while now so it isn't handy to take a look at, but try pin 11. The pinout diagram says it's a ground too.

Cheers!

Hi technogeek many thanks for your reply, I'm thinking both pin 11 and 14 are just both normal chassis ground looking again at this diagram I see pin 9 has a 6v 33uf capacitor to ground and also pin 17 has a 35v 47uf capacitor to ground I presume some sort of decoupling, there must be a separate signal ground, I will try these two and see if any less hum is produced thanks again.
