Well, I bought another, it arrived today - Disappointed! it's not the same & the output is higher & it doesn't suit my player, loud bits beginning to distort, I may be able to play around with it, but really can't be bothered, oh well. On a brighter note I ordered one of these, had it running...

Well I've had it running for two days now & I must say it's every bit as good as a proper TDA1541A. it may be just me listening for it, but it seems slightly more focussed, but really there's nothing in it. As I said i'm running non oversampling, be interested to see what it's like in an...

Sorry if this subject has been covered before, I haven't been on here for a few years, haven't built much in the way of hifi for ages, but saw one of these alternative chips on Ebay some time ago...

Well powered them up today, surprise surprise they don't work, they're drawing about 5ma which isn't adjustable, there's a pop when you swich off but that's all, I've checked all the transisters against a proper naim wiring diagram also the chinese one, Tr1 & Tr2 are correct for the transisters...

Haven't been on here for a couple of years but I bought a couple of those cheap chinese NAP140 clone kits off Ebay a few weeks ago http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200564916259 about £32 for the pair including postage, they arrived this week & I'm impressed, I've spent the...

I have just picked up a pair of Quad 50E amps, I had no intention of buying them but the bloke only wanted £100 so I thought it'd be rude not to. Question is, does anyone know where I can obtain the plugs or complete leads, the Bulgin mains plugs are easy to get but the audio plugs I haven't...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the late Linn Kan mk1's they could send me or post here, I recapped a pair for my mate recently but didn't make a note of them & he doesn't want them to come apart again. Any help appreciated. Mark.

Funny you should say that, I picked up on Ebay a while back an old pair of Realistic Minimus 11s, almost the same size as the Kans but solid cast aluminium with a bolt on back panel, & they weigh in at 5kg each. The original drivers are crap & the original crossover was an absolute disgrace...

Had me stumped for a while, but found it in the end "Anastacia - Not That Kind" Mark.

I built a couple of small speakers a while back, I used surface mount peerless speakers so just used a jigsaw to cut the holes. I found a good box volume calculater on the net so matched the box to the bass driver. The boxes are built with 19mm MDF screwed & glued with glued blocks in all the...

I have been over them with a magnifying glass & cannot find any additional markings, I have only tried one of them for a couple of hours in an AA5 & it seems to be fine. but I thought at £9.60 each i'd chance it. Mark.

One picture as requested.

I f anyone is looking to buy a TDA1541A I bought a couple from this Ebay seller £9.60 each they arrived quickly & are all fine. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IC-TDA1541A-PHILIPS-DIP28_W0QQitemZ180174195098QQihZ008QQcategoryZ36332QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

You can count me in for another one, i'm willing to chance it at that price. Mark.

Getting back to the Burson Audio op amps, I've just been listening to Nirvana MTV Unplugged & one thing has struck me, the clapping between songs is so much more realistic, clapping has never sounded quite right on most of the systems i've listened to. The more I listen to these op amps the more...
