Dears,
The quotation from the manufacturer has came back, the quotation for 10 piece of remote control is $180HKD (around 22Euro and 24USD).
But it is not including the surface marking.
I will try one more manufacturer for comparison
It is good that now there are 10 person show interesting-:
1. comickitkit
2. syklab
3. angcl
4. tubo
5. Guarnera
6. jims
7. Fabian85
8. tomw
9. turbo
10.PHansen

To minimum order quantity, anyone still interested?

is this still active Comickitkit?

Clock mod

Hello,did someone try separate Clock or other Mods on Shiga with good Results ?

Hi taccodude,
I have done mod with external clock: Burson clock with tentlabs crystal preregulated by Ales ''mravlca'' TPS7A4700 low noise LDO regulator.
The result is a more natural and clean sound.
And yes, those red caps are Black Gate NX 220/6.3 and big cap is a Black Gate Standart 470/16 .
Have tried there sanyo os-con SP (sound harsh and lifeless), sanyo os-con SEPC (clean sound but lifeless) , rubycon ZL (same as SEPC with overemphasis on highs),all of them suffer of missing some bass extension.
Black Gates ,after burning in period, give a juicy ,full of life sound.
Cheers

Hi nbviol. did you try Tent XO before on Shiga PCB ?I got one on it and for me it is not such a big differnce to the other one. Still got some BG Caps I can try.Instead of that Evo Cap I liked that Jupiter Beeswax better(didn`t cost much more) and are pretty close to Duelund.
Regards DT

Hi taccodude,
İ didn't try Tent XO direct on pcb because my is 33MHz one, but have to say upgrade from citizen crystal to Burson Clock give a clear improvement, after i get on swap forum Tent crystal and swap the Burson 's and this gave me ewen more clear, fast and natural sound.
To the Burson Clock , have changed crystal's decoupling cap to mica silver and add ferride bead before crystal. Preregulation for clock is another field for improvement, tried there 78XX, lm317 and finally tps4700 .
This means that standalone clock with his own ps will give improvement over onboard crystal .
Cheers

Would you share the cnc drawing?

I'm willing to do so, but I need to find a way that these files are used only for DIY.
