I've been slaving over this for a while now an it's time to start boxing it up. I'm happy with my choice for IEC's and switch gear, but I'm looking for something new for my RCA sockets and most important of all the internal wiring which needs to be shielded for best performance.
Any suggestions for low mass RCA sockets and shielded co-ax?
Simon:
What made you choose the Dale resistors? Did you consider the Takman's!
The Dale's are a 0.1% mil-spec rated resistor from one of the worlds leading manufacturers with a 50+ year history of supplying manufacturers of precision electronics equipment and they are used in everything from Siemens medical imaging equipment to Tektronix who make my oscilloscope.
and the Takman's aren't. They are overpriced and underspecced, regardless of any magic they may or may not impart.
Ah right its the good old specifications again then ;)
Who makes the PCB?
Andre, it's the 0.1% more than anything else that made me choose them, that and price. I'll be using fancy Charcrofts for the loading once i've homed in on my preferred value with this phonostage.
Rob, it was a DIYAudio.com group buy. The circuit is by Joachim Gerhard with layout and routing added by others.
And that they have been used in such accurate and long lasting well built equipment surely.Quote:

I've been interested in that thread too. Had you tried out any of the simple circuits near the beginning of the thread? Looked more my level.Quote:

Nice work Simon.
For internal shielded wiring, I'd suggest the silver screened 4N silver wire shown on this page: http://www.hificollective.co.uk/components/wire.html or alternatively the Cardas 33AWG triple core shielded wire (just twist all three cores together once stripped and then tin)
Pricey but good.
If you get stick RE Sockets, let me know. I can supply a wide variety depending on budget.
Aah. I have had a few GB's from DIYaudio. Thanks.Quote:
