Takes line level well too.
Still going strong on one of my boards.

Something in the cost translation says 110 + 10 shipping so 120 but that's an amazing cost difference. Why would someone buy one for 1200 and sell it for 100?norburybrook wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 5:48 pmPhilpompeiisneaks wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 5:23 pm You got me excited for a minute until I saw the measly 1300$ price...

Seems pretty weird to me? How can it be worth 1200 new and garbage lot sale 100 used?

new from amazon, 1249.99?

As an alternative, because apparently some modern SM can get leaky and/or microphonic, I've had great luck with polystyrene film caps. Not only are they low distortion, low leakage, but they tend to be very accurate (you can often find 1% tolerance) and some will even have the outer foil marked from the factory as an added bonus. The drawbacks are that you need to be careful not to overheat them, and they don't seem to be produced very widely anymore, so you almost have to go NOS, but the pricing is pretty reasonable, IMO, sometimes cheaper than the better quality modern Mica caps. To me, the Polystyrene also seem to produce slightly less ear fatigue in the highs compared to SM, but that could just be placebo..martin manning wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:45 pm I think we're still talking past each other. C0G ceramic is a good substitute for mica if one is after low distortion and good temperature stability (virtually ideal behavior), and it has the advantage of being more reliable, available, and cheaper. I'm talking about the case where ceramic cap distortion is NOT wanted.
I think you’d be fine grounding the PI and GNFB at the chassis mounted lug that is near the impedance selector. What else is grounded there?fred.violleau wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 2:09 amOne question remains : where should I ground the NFB/PI ?
On the original layout, it grounds at the FX loop, but these are isolated from the chassis on this build. And the whole FX grounds meet at V3's. Any advice ?
I think that will be fine.fred.violleau wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 1:41 pmThe lug in front of the impedance selector is grounding the B+2 filtering.
