Hopefully this will be the schematic below. As I said, it is slightly later than mine but shows why I removed the 47pF polystyrene. I don't have any spare caps but will try to locate a suitable replacement for C6 and possibly the decoupling caps In the meantime check for dry joints and crimp...

Good point; I have fallen into the "recap" trap mainly because I have limited testgear and even less knowledge ;-) If all else fails, change the lot!!!

Sugarlumps. Need to work out how to get an image on here too :-( Thought copying to Dropbox would work.

Just realised in my hase, I mis-read the DVM earlier (no leading 0) so the DC offset values for L&R are actually 0.025V and 0.016V i.e 25mV and 16mV which are in spec??? Sorry, this has led some of you on a wild goose chase :( I am a bit confused about the 47pF zero pole cap - I removed the...

Thanks for the input folks; you have given me a good bit more to think about. There was a lot of discussion in the early days (on this place) about the benefit of removing the 47pF/1K8 in // with the 27K feedback resistor and Les acknowledged that it wasn't doing much. As an attempt to remove a...

Hi, I built this amp some considerable time ago using pre-built modules from Les (Soft start, single large toroid, 2*Cap modules and the 2*NCC200. I think he called it the 260Z kit at the time. Looking at images I took of the build, it must date back to 2006 so is probably in need of a re-cap...

I thought HD was coming with S2 but even if it does, it is unlikely to change anything sound wise. It has to be an exercise in "ticking a box" for Sonos. Sonos is great for TV, good for streaming, multi-room etc. but as Jem said, no hifi pretensions at all.

Much the same but only streaming Spotify now. Will have to wait to check out HD etc....

Available now. Looks rather pretty but time will tell............... Not the easiest to find though (iOS). The old app updates to Sonos S1 and you then need to go into the App Store, find S1 and scroll right down to fine "More from Sonos"

I too was totally blown away on first hearing the Rev 1 when I went to Avondale Road to pick up the NCC200 kit from him. From memory he put on some "Lemon Jelly". I had been moving up the Naim amp range but just found it tiring to listen to. Getting the Rev 1 speakers completely cured my...

I notice that Sonos have a Beta stream; just wondered if anyone has tried the new OS etc... Still, only a few days to wait now.

Brilliant idea!!!! Zoom demos MUST be the way ahead. Wife has a tendency to Bronchitis->Pneumonia after chest infections so we are locking down fairly tightly. I was thinking of issuing a Hazmat suit at the front door. Good luck with the chemo. Take care Reg

That's a very generous offer Jem - must bear it in mind ;) They will indeed need a home demo (and pickup = v.heavy) to sell and as "over 70's" we are being very careful.

Thanks for the input. Tried them on Hifi-forsale some time ago. Les suggested quite a high starting price and eventually dropped them to £900 (from memory) with no interest. Retired quite a few years ago and moved to a slightly smaller place and domestic harmony was king!!! Spotify + ripped CDs...

Have had a pair of these for some considerable time now and since moving house some years ago, they are gathering dust. Reluctantly will have to move them on once this nasty Covid nonsense is over. They are in good condition and I have a set of both Ash and Mahogany caps/feet for them. Just...
