Hans, tell me about fishing😀 I have been a flyfishing junkie for about 30 years😉 My best score was 45kg salmons in 3 weeks😉 Not excactly one salmon ha-ha, but several. Best one weighed in at 10kg clean. All taken on fly, ofcourse!! My own flies at that, ofcourse too!!! Well, I did win the Danish flydressing competition the first two years it took place🙂 Then the judges deemed me a professional, so I couldnt participate anymore
That kind of s#cks cause I set out to win the triple!!!! Ever since then they can run me in the #ss! They did change the rules to get me back later on, with no succes. Resulting in a decrease of quality of the flies being made😉 Whatever, I did take a Goldmedal in the worlds biggest flydressing competition, Mustad Scandinavian Open, that did make them wanting me back!! No way🙂 I guess this was a bit of thread🙄 Mail me if you need more info😉 Steen😎

Hmm, we seem to be more alike than I thought....
I won the junior fly dressing championships like 15 years ago in the classic salmon fly class 😎

I saw on your profile that you listed flyfishin as an interest - most flyfishers mean buisness i think - its all or nothing - but winning gold in scandinavian flydressing......thats something !!! I only recently taken (fly) fishing up again, its been dorment since highscool where girls and alcohol took over...... Now i'm more into hunting, but my girlfriend is crazy about fishing, so that a good excuse to go out and update ones fishing gear, in order to do something together - now that she doesnt like DIY 🙁
The good thing about fishing, is that you can cast your fly in every little pond you come across, also on holiday. Taking your rifle and start shooting in a parking lot is for some reason not an option, so fishing is the best option for our holiday ;-) Were going to the northeren Spain, on the atlantic coast, where I understand theres a lot of rivers and streams going from the mountains out to the sea.....also taking a week in northeren sweeden at the family, where theres some awsome pike lakes in the forrests.......
Hope you have time for fishing this summer !
Cheers !
Hans
Morten, thats great🙂
The Classic salmon fly is a great passion of mine! It is the most prestigous class to win😀 Its also an expensive thing to work with. Some of the feathers used, are very very scarce. I have gladly payed 2-300usd for two feathers on several ocassions! Man, thats a bit crazy I guess. But what, as long as it is funny🙂
Now, if I could just make my girlfriend grab one of my Sage flyrods......

Oh, sorry 'bout being OT, Promitheus
I dare to post a picture, then. This is the "Jock Scott", created in 1800's when the Victorian era was sweeping over England! Everything couldnt be too precious!! The women wanted hats and garments like you wouldnt believe!! Even the flies made for fishing were just outragous. It all had to be luxury, first class! All the girls I have had looking at my flies, just goes; Wauw🙂 Men, more or less don't care😉 Well take a look at this thing, made with the original materials, from the Victorian era!
That fly costs a minor fortune to make🙂

Power supply board
My friend and I have designed a slighty modified power supply for the Pearl Phono stage. Our test board has two different types of reticfiers, with jumpers. After we determine which set sounds better we will have the final boards manufactured. I will have to have ten boards made, so if any one is interested let me know.

I'm not sure what your question is? This will be the board only built for the our lay out and design. The design is a modified version of Waynes.

Gregorio:
What I wanted to say is that the power supply wasnt so complicated.
It was a bridge and a capacitor.
Or did you make a new board with stabilisation too that is better as the original?
tschrama:
nice to hear that, have fun building and keep us posted.
A pic or two would be cool.

stupid question
Do I need to run a wire from the negative pad of C15 to the next pad close to C11 (following the white line) ? This wire will also be used for the ground binding post?

ok thanks.
I am about to order some transformer from Plitron and I was wondering if it would be better to order 2 15VA transformers instead of only one (recommended 30VA 017017201)?
Maybe dual mono is too overkill? I don't think I need 30VA for each channel.

Does anybody have any photos of the Pearl?
I am still in the middle of making mine.
I haven´t decided what the enclosure will look like.
