I see. Actually on reflection this afternoon I’ve realised that it probably doesn’t matter all much as the Alw super regulator will be doing all the clean up on the voltage, In theory ;) is that a hackercap board that you used?

thanks Luca. Did you go for inductors between your capacitors or resistors? Or nothing?

Luca thanks for the link. Yes I have read through your thread. It looks like a great build. I’ve opted to go for the ALWSR regulators and am just deciding which way to go with the rectifier/capacitor stage. I think I am leaning towards using some 22k caps with 2 x full wave bridge rectifier...

So, hackercap boards or full wave bridge rectifier and 22k caps? Any thoughts on this?

I have a full size 430 x 300 x 80 case on its way to me, that way I have room to do whatever takes my fancy in years to come.

To be fair this thread is not about whether or not building your own psu for your naim kit sounds better, or not, than buying a naim psu. It’s about advice on building one. So I’ll build one and we can play it off alongside the £1500 dr high cap and see the results ;) Any advice from my...

thanks for the feedback, appreciate the sounding board! I may be missing something in terms of the acoustica website Mr Tibbs grounding upgrade, is there some more reading somewhere on this? Mr Tibbs text indicates keeping the two -ve channels separate and then not joining them together until...

Hello Y'all, so an update on where I am up to and some questions. My plans to build a naim PSU are progressing well, I have ordered the case from modushop and I also have some ALWSR boards on their way to me. My PSU is going to be setup to have; 1. transformer 2. capacitor / rectifier stage...

I’ll put my ‘naim’ down for a pair please if some more are enroute. ;)

Top man. Thanks for confirming.

Hello I have some big caps in the crossovers in my speakers. They are Solen 5% 400VDC PB-MKP-FC Metallized Polypropylene capacitors. At what stage would these need replacing? Or will they just carry on regardless of age, as I know some caps do. thanks all.

Well that was an easy fix! All sorted.

hello, I have a nac 102 with remote volume, I am finding that the volume adjustment via the remote works fine between 7 o'clock (zero) and 9 o'clock, beyond this, although I can hear the motor working it is not adjusting the volume upward. The dial is hard to turn between 9 and 2 (oclock) then...

Thanks. Ok yes I will send Andrew a message. Do they ever come up in the diy classifieds? Unfortunately I can’t yet post in there.

Thanks, that’s the one ;) The project is a nice distraction to crazy times.
