I made it to 'Member'!
Sorry to burden you chaps, with your £70 soldering stations, who are madly building the next Naim-slayer, but I have an embarrassingly basic question to ask:
I've just bought one of these and, despite requests to the seller for help, I've not got any response from him.
I recognise most of the components, but am not sure what certain of the items are. If you look at this photo, there are some things about which I'm not clear (circled in red). I've deduced by their number that the 3 tiny rectangular items must be the 'green=jumpers' (see circuit diagram) but I'm not sure what they're for: why can't I just use a bit of wire to connect the points on the PCB. And what is the long plastic section, with many pins along it: I presume they are link pins or may be to stick through the PCB, but don't know how or why to use them. Do they fit into the little black connectors (the 'green=jumpers')? Why are there so many of them? Presumably I snap or snip them off to use them?
And there are the wires in the resistor packet (above and to left of the red oval), without resistors on them: are they also for linking? Confused!
(I told you this was embarrassing!)
