Re: What i have ended up with

Right. Eds/simons headphone amp. Im listening to it now with the wiim mini plugged into it, the wiim can control volume itself if you set it to variable via its own set of outputs.

Re: What i have ended up with

I wouldnt mind a go at the noir, yours was very good, and actually one of the things that set me off with this in the first place. That rig was really very good, the beyers made me take a good look at open backed phones too. Im not a member of diy audio unfortunately otherwise i would have been very...

Re: What i have ended up with

What i have ended up with

Ive invested a bit of money in a little headphone system. I was moaning and feeling sorry for myself a few weeks ago, whining about not being able to use the main system for various reasons. Oh waily waily, woe's me, isnt it terrible. Tony very kindly lent me his wad hd83, and ed sent me some of the...

Re: Valve amplifier service

Fair enough, if it is built to spec then thats how its supposed to be. I was just trying to wrap my head around how it was wired in the first instance

Re: Valve amplifier service

Is the only ground connection to the outside world just the outer of the phono sockets on this example of the amp? I ask because the fabulous exploding cole phono stage was wired in such a way that there was no connection from the phono stage to the box with the mains tx in it via the connwcting cab...

Re: Valve amplifier service

They look like they are already insulated to me, so is the earth floating inside the amp?
Or is there a wire to the back of the iec socket?
Also appears to be a bit of a busbar cut off so where did that go originally?
