Here from Reichelt for beer budged :LDP 135 LCD - LCD-Einbaumodul, 3-1 - 2 stellig, 13mm, ohne Bel. bei reichelt elektronik

input impedance : 100MOhm !!!!!!!

Who finds the most pretty meter that works ?

 

[Benedetto]

I'll try to go a bit "Steampunk".
The buildt in illumination of the Paradise is
just pushing me there....

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Benedetto, honest, an analog meter may be a problem because of input impedance.
It will appear in parallel to the loading resistor. A typical 30uA meter has a round 6.5kOhm. Not a big problem though and there are funny little objects called switches.

Thanx J,
but they are soooo sexy.
Look @ this:

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Pretty cool !
This ones are simple and tasty :http://metersandinstruments.yokogawa-usa.com/Asset/Tough Meter Flyer.pdf

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

They work in harsh environment .....

Sexy is Marlene Dietrich.

It will not show any reaction to the tiny offset though.....

 

[Benedetto]

But it's pretty

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

When this is the goal we have a lot of options.....
This one not only shows the offset but also the condition of the power supply, distortion, bias etc.

Maybe Sifam can just sell the front cover.

(hopefully for way less than €60 each )

This designs will sell like hell. Will be a bit expensive to make though.

Mmm, analog meter + impedance converter ?

I hope it is not a bird and flies away

You felt it... It flew away indeed... remenber I had issues in thr right channel ? Solved it with a Xacto but now a similar issue appeared on the left channel.... This time it is not a fixed +15v on the output but a strange +10 -10v DC on the output oscilating.... (Glad my amp can handle some DC in)

After many replacements I believe this board is done.... Hope my next build goes smoother.

Please bear in mind this is a beta build... nothing to do with the final version that has all these small pitfalls covered.

I have done many experiments and the board did not resist... That´s all

Anyway... during my expermnts I subjected the DL160 to more than 1 volt and it did not sucumb... so no fear.

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Sorry about that, that is the Karma of a beta tester.

 

[RCruz]

Indeed... but I am very happy... It proved to be a good contender to my SE build. Not better, I still come back to the simplistic when I want that magical soundstage, but the paradise has a special way to handle bass lines enabling ALL recordings to be fully apreciated... A rare feat.

Now I will build R3 with the utmost confidence.

BTW... yesterday I could listen to it with the Benz.... It is quite transparent and completely transmits the cart's character.

Is it salas simplistic you are refering to?
