Ok, i'm getting far along enough now to split off into my own topic, methinks. Next question: DC voltage on the PSU seems a bit high? When I tested it in "plankie" mode i got a steady 23.54v. Of course, that was before i replaced all the resistors to give them some "air". Switched it on for...

no dealer, you'll have to import. The XPA is about 40kgs, the UMC about 6 or 7. Shipping will probably run you about $250-$300 (Emotiva gets very good rates, ask them for a quote). Customs should be 20% + VAT. Mine got here fine.

With that budget i'd look at emotiva. I'd have a UMC-200 or Sherbourn PT-7030 pre-amp with the XPA-5 amp combo. nice.  :thumbs:

we use autotask. bit overcomplicated if you ask me.

yah, pics or it didn't happen  :clap:

I got some PRP resistors from HiFi Collective, and the the pricing was not too bad.

i can never tell whether people are taking the pi$$ on here or not  :thinking:

to avoid this:

Thx Heinrich, I think i'll go with the first option? looks like that would be the safest.

Hey, another question, because i'd rather be safe than sorry I'm assuming the IEC ground connection goes behind the thermistor, at "B". What about grounding the PSU board to the chassis? Before or after? While we are at it, the plan for the power LED is to wire the LED and its resistor from...

I have to say, that is about the best looking stuff i have ever seen. I almost don't care what it sounds like, if i could afford it, i'f buy it based purely on looks! :drool:

yah, 18.5 is a bit small hey? :thinking:

it doesnt have to be an advertisement masterpiece methinks. a few seconds of clicking around should do for a taster.

you guys really need a few videos to demonstrate the concept. if the operation looks as good as it sounds, you won't have any problems with hooking investors.

seems like short floorstanders? ideally you want the tweeters to be around about ear level when sitting down...

don't have the clippings anymore, unfortunately. and i don't mind buying new ones, i've poured many thousands of rands into this, so a few more won't hurt. I just don't seem to be able to find the flippen things. RS, Mantech, Communica (the only one really any where near me) or yebo. Either i'm...

You mean like a terminal block? otherwise i suppose i could just wire them in parallel on a piece of veroboard and run the leads back to the pcb.

hmm, that's kinda difficult without replacing. i've already clipped the leads.

thanks fiddly-sys  :clap:

like so: i don't think (hope) the caps took any damage. The multimeter readings are still spot on what they are supposed to be. So i think i just need to swop out the one resistor? Spade connectors turned a bit brown, should i replace & resolder?
