| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Yeah, one setting of the dip switch would ground out the R output channel. No idea why or how. | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Added detail:Two weeks before this, the same thing happened to a different phono preamp, a Trichord Dino. Pop, channel gone, R out out goes out. I troubleshot it to a faulty DIP switch component on the board and swapped it out. Coincidence? An unr... | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? SSM2019* | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? Thanks for the suggestions, all!I dropped in the cheap replacements, which really seem like the same OEM components that were in there. I also upgraded the opamp chips from SMS2019 to THAT1510, which turned out to be a very nice mod for the tightn... | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? I also compared the reading to the functional RCA jack to verify what the readings should be. | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? I performed the test out of circuit as well, to make sure no other parts of the circuit were messing with my reading | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? Doug,I used a multimeter across the ground and signal connections on the input component to verify that there is an internal short. | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? Cardas does not make a two-way RCA component with 3 leads. Theirs are doubled up, as each signal path and ground connection has its own lead (a better design than what I’m looking for, but won’t fit into the printed circuit board I’m working on.)P... | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? Here are the cheap-o versions that would work, and be equivalent to the Trichord ones. https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Position-Stereo-Female-Connector/dp/B013SYV9S6 | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? Good suggestions on Parts Connexion! Unfortunately they don't have any two-way RCA inputs. Also, the input component needs front-facing screw holes like the originals, as the back of the chassis is secured by screws that go into the component. Thi... | |
| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? And just a heads up, the Cardas ones won't fit the Dino PCB, as it has doubled-up ground and signal pins. The two-way terminal component used on this board has 3 prongs only (L, R, and a shared G). | |
| Best Drum Solos I love Reign of Kindo! I'll have to check it out on my system. | |

How awesome to find this article!I did read the entire thing, and even followed most of it... | |
| Thiel 1.6 vs 3.6 in Small(ish) Room @jafant Thanks for checking in! The imaging has gotten better as I've positioned them further apart, but now they are literally inches from the side walls! It's not a setup I like, but they would only be about 4 feet apart otherwise.So here's what... | |
| Best Drum Solos Nice input everyone! I'm assembling a Spotify playlist the best I can with what they have available. Here's the playlist:https://open.spotify.com/user/1250668582/playlist/0atitBeCQDCcWwoj78ZBpKI made it collaborative so people can add and remove a... |
