This seems to be the right thread for me! Having just upgraded from an old LCD TV to one of the latest LG OLED C2 TVs, I'm now trying to avoid the need to bin my aging but beloved Audiolab 82000AP processor - which is HDMI 1.4 with no support for ARC or new video formats like HDR. My idea is...

A reply that perfectly sums up why i dont bother posting on here

Sounds like you need the FDAC. This is one of the reasons I'm waiting.

To be fair to the oven, that's pretty much how most of my soldering jobs end up looking ;)

Ah! Thank you

I love that glass top... Easy to check for failing caps!

Fair points! Regarding the bonding plug you pointed me at, I've found these available with binding posts (better) but with a 1 Megaohm resistor. Should this resistor matter?

Thanks, I suspected this might be the answer... but how come?
