Surprised Mate..that reads as Amateur ? Beginner talk

To whom is the "amateur" bit addressed and who is the "beginner" danilo?

Oh stop it! The irony is beginning to hurt Bet Danilo's looking forward to a Pass Labs belt buckle for Xmas.... and "The Ladybird Book of Electronics".... Illustrated.

Andrew, it's been refreshing to see another EE on here with actual opinions... Danilo would do well to listen to them, as you seem to talk sense

I'm surprised at the "beginner" and "amateur" comments, but not particularly upset. Though I was having a pop at that circuit, no insult to any forum member was intended.
Being a bit sad I read technical papers for an evening's entertainment. Ironically, I was reading a paper from Siliconix only a few days ago all about biasing JFETs. I wonder if they're bebinners too?

Back on track with the Paradise, a not piece of guess work pot luck. 160+ carefully selected components per channel.



Destined to end up in Manchester.

Sounding double fine in my house at the minute. makes me realise I really do have to upgrade to the dual box psu.

Very Nice Simon
Any good reason for the red Leds ?

They're lower current so an extra one is needed either side for the ccs to draw the correct current, and that extra one can be carried to the back of the front panel as an indicator that each side of the shunt reg is functioning. I've just left em on the edge of the board in this build but I wanted to try it as an option. The lack of a visible 'on' has always bugged me.

It's been a while. I've had a part-built sat waiting for cases for several months. It's probably the last Paradise I'll scratch build and the demise of Andrew P's Naim shoebox cases has left me high and dry. So... I put some money down and ordered some new full width cases. These things are lovely, turns the Paradise into a real visual statement.

I'll order up cables and sockets and get cracking with this over the next few weeks. I've never done a big two box build with my psu boards so this should be a cracker.



I've also got final set to build, for none other than Joachim, the designer...

Hi Simon,

Looks a great build as usual, mentioned the Paradise on the Linn Forum and not one comment I suppose because it's not a Linn phono stage but it I did mention it on the " 3rd party product ".

Regards,

Martin

I think I built Paradises for four linnies, two replace uphorik, one an ulrika and one Linto.
