[JPS64]

So, after YARRA with MELBOURNE, YARRA with WBA18, why not YARRA with KORG 6P1?


JP

 

[xrk971]

Sure, bring it on JP!

Seems to be missing the bolt number 1 for -ve rail?

Schematics?

Why not make one with a NVCT (nano vacuum channel transistor)? 😀

 

[Vunce]

These will be a pricey set of DB’s

 

[JPS64]

Hi X,


send me please samples!


Hi Vunce,


30€/6P1.


JP

 

[Vunce]

Hi JP,

That’s a great price on the Korg!
They are $50 over here 🙄

 

[batty]

I was thinking of building a pre with the Korg 6P1, this would be a great way to try it.

 

[xrk971]

Is the Korg stereo? These boards are mono. Maybe little Russian military micro-tubes are an option?

 

[TungstenAudio]

How about a Yara with balanced XLR outputs? You know, for those of us with an Aleph J or ACA monoblocks.

 

[xrk971]

There Is a very nice Aspen single ended to balanced converter but that’s not DIY. Would you be ok with a nice opamp implementation with a THAT1646 placed after the Melbourne?

Those things are ultra low distortion and are like a wire with no gain but simply split signal into two phases and can drive 600ohm loads.

 

[TungstenAudio]

Is the Korg stereo? These boards are mono. Maybe little Russian military micro-tubes are an option?

The Korg 6P1 is stereo, and with the necessary support circuitry, is probably too big to fit on a Melbourne daughtercard. However it should be possible to design a two channel daughtercard that would occupy both slots on the Yara main board. Could be fun.
