B1 Buffer Preamp

I was looking around for quite some time trying to find a simple buffer to drive my high gain power amplifier and now I am really interested about this B1 project, so Mr. Pass are there any news about it?


Will it contain also volume control and selector as complete preamp unit?

There is a full DIY article scheduled to appear on EnjoytheMusic.com
at the beginning of July.

Also, you will shortly be able to buy one.

It looks like this from the outside:

besides fuglyness ..... interesting ...... input cap , output cap , comp. jfet buff as in Papa's Lightspeed , single voltage supply ?

less is more :D :Popworm:


To me it looks like there 's no input cap, just an output one. Those small blue square things look like local decoupling PSU caps?

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me...:Popworm:

I just love this forum and the participants here.

Within an hour or two members started reverse engineering the B1 from Nelson's acute angled picture. The forum will have self-documented the DIY article before Nelson publishes it.

Prediction:

Choky will have a complete circuit and boards with customized improvements made shortly called the BBF (Best B1 First), or ABC Pre for "Another B1 from Choky" or something!

People here are simply great! Cannot wait for the upcoming BurningAmp in October again.

Sorry for off topic.... Choky, are you coming to Burning Amp this year? I hope so! You were missed last year.

-David

tnx for nice words , but I think that I'll be missed this year too , except in case that I find some unexpected funds :clown: .....

anyway - do not worry - I'll do everything I can on two fronts :

1 . I'll hate ya all in these days (same as first time )
2.I'll do everything I can to rise my overall financial situation in next period , so my presence on BAF No.3 should enormously rise overall importance of Festival .....

:rofl:

(ps . if nothing else - I'll try to send Brunhilde to AR2 , for presentation ;) )
