Thanks Martin, thats great!

Hi, was wondering if some knowledgeable bod could help?: I am looking to connect up a pin naim link plug to work in a CD3.5 without a PSU as the one in the link shows i.e. -...

Seems a bit harsh there Les, we all have to start somewhere and through mistakes we learn. It does sound like your method is much safer, so why choose a risky option? Can't answer that, but I for one am not as methodical and measured as I would like to be at all times (and it is especially...

Very keen to hear more on this, sound like a great build. It will be good to know if you hear that bass roll off and how you intend to finish the cabinets. Also what tools did you need to make the cabinets?

I took the plunge and swapped the cables - et viola! It all works! :D It is set up as is in the first photo except that the relay is bypassed and the signal is running through the 'signal in' section at the top right of the board near the buffer cards. In addition, I have jumpered the 'Alps'...

A warning to those buying from 'DIY hifi supply'..... I purchased the remote above. It was sent with OUT the chip or cables. I asked for the cables and chip, and they were good enough to send them no questions asked. Since then I have been trying to get it to work - I have just discovered why...

Brilliant! All working now with the Alps pot. Turns out I needed to add or bypass the relay. How thats done...SOUND! whoo! Cheers Neil! Now to get this electronic remote working :D

That didn't work either... Here is a pic of my first set up...is there any reason why this wouldn't work? http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/pound0sound/DSCF0191.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/pound0sound/DSCF0190.jpg...

Well, its all hooked up but Im getting no sound with this remote volume pot gubbins...gonna try just the NJ board and and alps pot to make sure its all working. Fingers crossed!

Im not sure I understand the reference to Focal - have they 'borrowed' the design? Anyway, thanks for the response. That will enable me to use both types of cards which is great. Im assuming I can remove the resistors that are in place there and there and just plug and play. Im waiting on a...

Harthold and Mudlark, thanks for the input, the B4 remote kit looks very good. Luckily this remote has a built in trafo. Ill try and use the B4 topology for my build - Im still not sure if it best to keep the 'signal in' wires shortest or the 'signal out' wires. I hear stories of high end...

As a thought....Wilmslow audio maybe able to provide some superb replacement drivers and crossover for you to fit in the cabinets? Its quite a good excuse for an upgrade.....

I feel for you bud...hope the're ok! Fingers crossed :O XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Right, resurrecting this thread - I have got one of these to go with the mother board build: http://www.diyhifisupply.com/ultimate-volume-control I chose this as it has a built in trafo to separate digital nasties, is small and ready built, also the company has a good reputation. It is meant...

Well, speakers sound lovely - maybe just a rewire and they will be perfect :D
