    Default Using Variable Outputs

    Puffin,

    Looking for clarity on your proposed variation to this mod that SB has documented in this thread.

    Can you describe how your idea of using the variable outputs would work in practice. i.e would you just cut the signal pin on the left and right Variable Output socket and solder in the bi-polar caps to those pins, and do you need to do anything to the other pin on each Variable Output socket, and/or do you need to turn the Volume Control to full, given you are proposing to use the Variable Outputs as though they were the Fixed Output sockets.

    Cheers

    I like the sound of this mod and it's along the lines of the valve buffered output mod I've recently been thinking about trying.

    If this passive output mod was applied and I didn't need the variable or headphone outputs, could I remove the opamp board all together?

    Also, are there any type of caps that should theoretically sound best in this application? Quite a few types have been mentioned.

    Thanks.

    I like your user name you can have a bad hair day everyday!

    I will do it later today. I assume that it disables the variable output completely as I will be cutting the phono connection to the board.

    I have looked inside at the PCB. on my 7510 there are 2 what look like jumpered holes in between the two ribbon cables. Do I remove the jumper on the right hand one (next to the right ribbon cable) and solder to each hole/pad/area or whatever that is left after removal of the jumper?

    OR do I use the other jumpered area near the left ribbon cable for L and the right for R channel?

    Unfortunately I don't have my camera at present. I assumed you would know what I was talking about.

    I will have to see if there are any 7510 pcb pics on here or anywhere.
