I wasn't really sure what to ask for it. Not really looking to make any profit. Would rather see someone getting the use of it. Colin

Thanks for the heads up guys. Will edit the for sale post to reflect this. Colin.

I haven't been doing much DIY the last year due to major lack of time. I have had a lull in the madness this month though, and was able to complete my Ezdac/TeraLink-X2 build. Now moving on to my Raspberry Pi addition. This means my B4/ PSU / Transformer are now surplus to requirements and up...

^ them.

I'm using two in my mines as well Tony. Col.

Sorry to hear about your amp and speakers Tony. I custom made and aluminium back for my Pesante case when I built my Hackernap. The pressed steel of the original case isn't very good as a heatsink. It's well worth doing this. If you have an Avondale soft start it's a good idea to fit the...

Starfish, B4 and HackerNAP for me. Currently working on a highly modified eZdac/Teralink x2 combo. Will probably build another B4/HackerNAP soon for an integrated. Col.

I always use star washers to bite into the anodising/powdercoating for the bottom, sides, front and back. For the top I drill and tap the holes a little bigger for a better contact to the sides. I don't used any of the original case fasteners, instead choosing my own caphead allen bolts, star...

Finally got around to changing the front end lytics to Wima Films today. Also changed the front end PSU resistors from 4.7r to 47r, and fitted some big LCR Input caps. I ordered these as Ampohms, but is seems LCR has taken over their production now. I'm not sure what has made the biggest...

Lovely job Dave. I'm amazed you got it all in there. :) My initial impressions of the Naps were the same. Stunning detail with excellent control and wonderful soundstage, but slightly splashy high end at first. It's safe to say that after two months of use, the splashy high end has totally...

If only you'd posted this last night. :) I just ordered some along with some SuperTeddyReg parts today or I'd snap them up. I'm looking forward to seeing if they are an improvement over the lytics. Just about done with my EZdac build and the hackernap is next on the bench. Colin.

Nice work Harthold. The B4 is a gem. I'm going to remove the relay selector from my B4 as I feel it performs a lot better with just a rotary selector. The relay seems to rob it of top end sparkle and narrows the soundstage slightly. I have to admit my dad built the case for me. Woodworking...

Lovely work. Really like that polished copper! Colin.

I have the Avondale SSM on in my Hackernap too and it has worked flawlessly. Thermal trip circuit is a bonus. Col.

I haven't experienced that problem with any of mines Bill. I bought a selection of tips at the same time I bought the irons. I keep a 2mm tip on one for circuit board work and a 5mm on the other for interconnectors and larger connection work. I've built my DAC, 2 PreAmps, and my Hackernap...
