Hard to tell without meeting you in person and studying your behaviour patterns ;)

I don't know if Shaun Williams is back in business yet or if he's still swanning about in his motorhome searching for his new house in Spain but he does some good JLH amps http://www.williamshart.com/jlhampli.htm David White also sells some very highly regarded power amps and stuff...

Hi Rod, Great to hear you've completed the WNA amp :) When I first hooked the pot and headphone socket up I must admit it seemed a less than satisfactory way of doing it but after a while it's a breeze to do and you could do it blindfolded. The MKll WNA PCB2 allows for board mounting of...

Hi all, This is the kit amp High res pic here It costs £150 and comes with everything you need, even a PSU. Quality parts are supplied such as gold plated teflon insulated phono sockets, Welwyn RC55Y resistors, EVOX polyprop caps, ALPS blue velvet pot etc. etc. At £150 it's an...

http://www.schuro.de/preisl-elna.htm schuro are, in my experience, the cheapest for ELNA caps and their prices go to show what rip off merchants the UK audio boutiques are. I've dealt with schuro for quite some time and find them excellent. Pinkie. Pink tip: It's best to avoid UK cap...

Try the Panasonic FC series of caps, they sound even better than the Stargets and IMO are on a par with ELNA Silmics (soundwise)

Richard, I'm just going from that odd diagram supplied with the manual....... looks like I've got a scotoma to that diagram :D have a look and it appears you should connect 1>2 and 2>1 :confused:

Hi Folks, The suggestion that I fit an IN4003 diode across the blue LED was from Shaun Williams of Williams Hart Audio. He reckons that it's necessary to prevent return EMF from blowing the LED "The LED may not blow instantly but without the diode it's lifespan is decreased considerably"...

Nice job Sid! I was going to mesh my holes but the guy who owned the X-Can preferred open holes so he could touch the valves to measure their heat output. I'm contemplating attaching a mini fan to the outside of the rear hole which should suck hot air out nicely :D The valves are pretty cool...

That's her ready to go now and looking very smart too if I may say so :D http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=613366#post613366

Hi Richard, That case is an absolute b*stard to drill isn't it? (the Italian job) cutting out the IEC filter hole took me 45 minutes!! Mike.

You'll only manage to squeeze 2 x 35v 1000uF Cerafines into the X-can and I doubt if you'd manage to get a black gate in at all due to the size of them so don't waste money ordering them. The Panasonic FC's make a vast improvement to the sound quality and they are affordable. I recently had...

"Listening session live grounding" is preferable to the "rod in earth" approach and a lot cheaper to implement. I find that "LSLG" brings about a cleaner, effortless, presentation with starts and stops followed by an inky black silence free from boxy colouration with a stygian bass delivery...

Nice one Sid!!! That case looks very much like the one Shaun supplies with the Chiarra / Andante kits! Keep up the good work! Mike.

Hi Mick, A friend of mine who's a moderator at head-fi lives just down the road from you in Shefford and he wants me to say "hello" on his behalf :) He's mad on headphones and interested that there's a fellow Audio nut in his neighbourhood. His details are at...
