Andrew
I have 4-off 470u/6.3 NXs . You could do the super-E-cap pairing thing and get c.1000u that way .
Shall I send them ( in a couple of days ) - if so , send address on a PM

The pace issue could easily be dependant on having enough mass loading on the headshell for the 103 to develop bass properly ( since it is very low compliance ) . Timing and dynamics are often linked to low bass performance. This is easier said than done if you're running it on the Vic air arm, sinc...

Truly it is the New poor man's Ongaku

Slightly off-topic - Are there any pics of an SP10 being broken up and re-plinthed anywhere ?
I guess I should check on slatedeck section .
Wondering how good a DD sounds with a proper arm on it , and maybe a graphite mat .

No, I don't think so, I guess the idea was to use something better than an electrolytic - LynnO used the best he could think of for that size, which was GE polyprop/oil with a teflon by-pass . Those are jolly good actually . There would be a problem using any electros or Black Gates in that circuit ...

Hello Andrew Looks like it's going pretty good then ? I suppose one advantage of the ultrapath cap is you can use something better quality than the main PS caps, but if you don't, the effect of ultrapath may be marginal . How high is your B+ ? If it's less than 350, you might want to try a Black Gat...

That is a useful site David, thanks for reminding me. Andrew, you have redeemed yourself by mentioning the great Blodwyn Pig . But of course , 'Ahead Rings Out' is one of the great Island Pinks , on the 2nd type black block pink label of course. Let me just check 'Getting to This ' ....green Chrysal...

I feel quite smug Dave, cos mine's in better nick than that !
Andrew , you are not paying the holy IslandPink the respect it deserves , talking about digital in the same sentence .
Infidel ! Infidel !

That's a nice Site Dave . Do we know Mike H from anywhere else ?

Just instructed Bud Purvine to build me a pair of anode chokes.
55H , 265DCR , M3 core. Will take max 85mA DC , which is way more than I need but hopefully very linear over typical operating range.

10 weeks delivery .

Perhaps I'll get that 'Easter Everywhere' ( 13th Floor Elevators ) fronm 'Get Back' out again and have another listen .

Nice Work Dave . Good on finding some SV Nick Drake. Still can't decide whether I think Nick's best record is Bryter Layter or Pink Moon, They are both so very very good . Keep on the lookout for any Pink Rim copies of BL or PM though, you may ( like I did ) find a good disc in a tatty cover, and th...

Maybe I should just leave the amp as it is ?
It's pretty fashionable :

How's that wobbly arm sounding then Dave ?
Any good discs to report this week ?
I got a copy of 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers' and it's a very mellow and tonally rich thing to enjoy .
