Thoughts on whether better regulation is necessary? THAT1510 has 85dB psrr at unity gain, up to 124dB at 60dB.

Cool, I'll make sure and get XLR's with a ground tab then, I can maybe even stick the 1K's on them. Some XLRs connectors have pin 1 connected directly to the shell, which would work fine too. 1k resistors should go to circuit ground, not straight to chassis. I need to figure out what I'm going to u...

Thanks for the schem! Are J111's still obtainable? Last time I met with a Fairchild rep, they were telling me that all through hole parts were going to be EOL very shortly. a dime from mouser in quantity at the moment - easy to believe they'll be disappearing, though! kind of a shame, but i guess t...

thanks! my main style is black metal, and that's closer to what i normally do. thought i'd give folk, as it is, a try.

did a cover of Green Fuz for shits & giggles

it is, as they say, somewhat shambolic. my friend played drums, i did everything else.

would be curious to hear anyone's reaction

something like this. about as simple as it could be...you could omit the current source on the output and just use a resistor - i wanted to have an led on there somewhere, and then it's just another few cents in parts to do the active load. most of the stuff i'm messing around with lately is just bu...

mostly the HV. if you're set on tubes, you might look up new york dave's one bottle preamp over on groupdiy. simple and well documented. i'd be happy to post a schematic for mine if you want; there's not much to it. you could look at it the other way: transistors are cheap enough that they allow one...

if you want low distortion and low noise, go with the THAT chips. if you want euphonic distortion, something like what i posted above or a tube pre would make sense. tube power supplies are more difficult and dangerous to build, and tubes will drive the cost up considerably. you can make a nice soun...

if you like lo-fi, get some transformers from edcor, use a couple common drain jfets or common emitter bjts as the gain elements (or just one if you don't need a lot of gain), stick an emitter follower after it, and impedance balance the output. cheap, easy & fun. i built one of these the other day ...

I'm curious about this; in the US the frequency is supposedly stable within 0.02Hz (0.03%). Is it much worse where you're at?

I am interested to see where this is going...

great movie. "a joyful noise" is worth watching as well.

Next level music as always. Particularly loved the Dvorak one.
