Good, with my Lyras i get a very balanced sound with a forceful and dynamic bass.
Treble is not lacking in any way in my setup.
I am using the MiiB tuning though.
This week i will build another one.
Salas, what are your RIAA values, i would like to copy that ?
I have asked before but it is easy here to loose the overview.

Miib tuning has a bit more treble and bass. +0.4db HF +0.2dB LF in my build by measurement. Add 1nF to the treble caps C2a, C2b and parallel 820k-1Meg to R9a R9b. Matter of tolerances. You are looking for 67.8k net. That way it goes near neutral so you can have an alternative listening session. Its a matter of taste and system integration mainly.
Could you please explain? Sound-wise or just hum-wise?
Ha, ha. Very close to my impression too. But there is no denial the red boards with green leds are becoming iconic 🙂
Any ideas how to get a bit more resolution out of it?
You can try a Z-Foil resistor as cartridge loading. It has a somewhat brighter sound then the Dales but not sharp. You can of cause tune the RIAA for more linear.
I think Ricardo has another option then Salas. I think he arrived at his values mathematically.
It also depends on the cartridge. Which one do you have ?

Proper system grounding mainly. They tend to rise in noises when referring both regs to a common power ground. At least in my hook up. They were conceived and tested as double mono from the start I think.
Lower the servo impact resistors to around 8K, using a cheap resistor from the noname drawer. Seems to have done the trick, although I still can't afford to leave the paradise in the open. It needs a housing to prevent excessive output drift due to the airflow around it.
At some stage I will need to change the servo impact resistor to something better though.
- does this resistor have a significant impact on sound? It's sort of parallel to the signal path, isn't it.
- is there a particular reason why the designers have opted to parallel 2 150K? Instead of 1 75K?

beautiful! Let us know how the sound changes with more hours of playtime....
Ricardos and MiiBs values are both given in the assembly guide. I would like to start a collection of RIAA values and the associated listening impressions 😀
Fat Bob meets Helmut Brinkmann ?
(Auwaja, die gelber 443 sehen geil aus, sehr sehr niedlich, die Platinen mit Dr Phili)
Jacco - yes, Fat Bob. Kind of a long story that includes the necessity for returning the "first choice" TT and limited alternatives with this particular vendor. I was very unhappy with the stability of the drive so I built a motor controller (the shiny thingy). With a controller and two belts under some tension the drive became acceptable. The black box is the DAC, no Brinkman for me, at least as long as I pay off the mortgage. 😀
Yellow Philis are a tip of Chris who posted his built earlier in this thread.
Joachim - apologies, I just realized I called you Gerhard earlier in this thread. Not sure why, I wasn't even drunk? 😕

Wuld same improvment to the servo help a bit ?
sorth off adding R C like in the SCH from post 505 of the Masterpiece tread?

Like the idea of a Nak on C.... Did not think of it initially, but the low noise comes to that indeed.
Anyway it sounds cleaner than anything on Dolby C IMO.
The Z-foil for careet loading is a very good option... that is waht I have now and really is even better than the rgular shinkohs.
Hi Salas... Would you post all the riaa values you decided in the end... both caps and resistors please 🙂
H berndt cool idea 🙂
I have posted just the other day, look back. Cleaner yes, I was talking about what the tone reminded me.
Brinkmann likes to put a stone under all of his products.
With the slate plate, and the LP clamp where it is on the picture, looks a bit like Helmut's top turner.
Only lacks a small pipe between motor and clamp, and a few buttons.
(prettiest HB design for me still is the Audiolabor Konstant)
Pound for Pound (£/lb, or in this case DM pro kg), the FB is Jochen's best product, imo.
Requires a solid stone platform and an RPM controller, but plenty to save there for a diy. Konstant Ref M1 isn't that impressive inside.
Each of your projects is pretty, Gelbschnabel.
