By what mate?
Someone offered to help out...

saying thanks.

Brilliant!
Thanks Guys.

Will probably be nipping down with Ali this year... enjoyed it last time I was down. (and the "free" cakes...) Gave me the valve bug it did, not sure if theres a cure for that. :) I wonder Guys if I can put out the cap and ask if its possible for anyone from Southern Englandshire could do ...

Really nice chat with Toppsy on the phone this evening, Edingdales on their way!

Hi Colin,
thanks for that, I've picked up your PM this morning.


Gary.

Is Colin still making the 'dales? I'd heard there was an issue with driver supply or something? Its maybe time to upgrade the RS3's to something a bit better, heard Colins speakers at Owsten and knew they were the next step. Don't have a lot of details on them, cost, options etc so thought I'd ask w...

Anyone have any info on the big blue caps in the photo?
Looked at everything else for upgrading but don't know if these are any good or not.

Couldn't twist them round to get manufacturer info or anything off them either.


thanks.

Big thanks to Ali for taking the time to look at my amp. Great that the voltages check out, good piece of mind. Ali suggested some internal upgrades for me, caps, stepped pot etc, so will need to take those circuit boards off to do the work. Will post better photo's of that browned out resistor and ...

Ok Nick, cheers.

...thanks guys.

Its working fine by the way, no change to sound quality or anything.
Hmnn, better safe than sorry I think.

Think I'll ask my "Man from Dunfermline" to take a look when having a Scottish get together, bit over my head for now. :/
More reading required!

Ali?
Help!

Thanks for the reply. Bit of a valve noob, just finding my way. Was meaning that my valve amp is rated to run 230v, not 220 like some Chinest amps. That said, the voltage at my place is anywhere between 210 and 240 ish, not great. There are adjustable pots next to each output valve, I bias them with...

Bit of a brown trouser moment last night with the valve amp. Its a Chinest 230V rated KT88 Chinese push pull. Its powered directly from a balanced mains transformer unit. I have a Belkin mains conditioner also wired from the BPS, which I plug in anything with a switching psu (TV box, router etc) to ...

Sound quality Stephen. Also, its not really plug n play enough for the average punter. ok for us lot though. :) Intersting thread, just saw it. Not sure about Pi myself tbh, had a play and dont reckon its quite there yet. RaspyFi and Squeezelite with the appropriate DAC seem to have good reports so ...
