    Using Digital Cables for Analog RCA's?

    Hi is it possible or advised to use digital coaxial audio cable for rca phono cables? I was thinking about making a set with a ground wire since I have a large lot of retail Audioquest digital sitting around.

    Another JFET phono preamplifier

    Hello guys! I remembered recently about a Romanian magazine since 1994 where was presented an interesting phono preamplifier based on FET transistors. As previously most listeners preffered to buy or construct either "Le Pacific" or "Boozhound" preamplifier, I decided to come in help for them...

    Le Pacific J-FET phono preamplifier

    Hello guys!! Long time ago I decided o try the schematics of the Le Pacific preamplifier. If I try to power the entire bloc from a DC source the hum is higher, so I power it from 3 x 9V battery but they don't last so much. I also placed a 220uF/50V capacitor between + and - for reducing a...

    Channel issues regardless of equipment combination.

    Phono amp damage?

    Hello all, I recently picked up a really nice Sansui 5000x. Got it home, everything sounds good except the phono inputs. I start with my turntable, and it just sounds really staticky and awful. So then I check with a few other inputs. Still distorted. Did some cleaning with Deoxit, still sounds...

    Looking for DIY MM Phono Stage that sounds great

    Heya, I'm looking at building a mm phono stage. I'm happy to break out the ferric chloride for single sided PCB etching or just use a bread board. I'm not overly well versed in electronics, only year 12 VCE (A levels) physics electronics knowledge + soldering skills from other PCB projects that...

    Sansui AU-999 phono input is *extremely* quiet. What's wrong?

    Hello, I picked up an AU-999 / TU-99 pair at an Estate Sale this summer. I've paired these with my existing Technics SL-1300 turntable, which worked fine with my previous receiver from the '90s. The Tuner sounds great. The auxiliary input sounds great from my an old iPod. The problem is that...

I really wanted to use this as a test-bed as follows As I had 2 boards with 2 channels I thought I...
