    Default Technics Motor Dynamics Mod

    Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows exactly what the optimum values are for c210 & R208 for the motor dynamics mod. My scope is down at the moment and I have no way to test for precise values.

    I had seen the information posted online but I can't seem to find it for the life of me!

    I've done lots of DIYing on the Technics 1200 boards over the years and this is only thing I haven't tried.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and if for whatever reason you don't want these values to be public domain a PM would do the trick!


    Thanks!
    Dan.

    A PM to Dave Cawley is probably your best option, together with looking at the Timestep site, as Dave has actually measured certain parameters of this motor and has considered the supply regulator, which seems to be the main bottleneck in today's thinking...

    Dave Cawley has exactly the information I need to know the only problem is that this is something he sells so I'm not sure he'd take too kindly to just giving this information out freely.

    If he does GREAT, if not I must admit I understand...

    I believe he once wrote here that he was happy to give away the mod to AOS members.

    If that's the case that's fantastic! I'll wait a bit to see if he wants to contribute to this thread if not I'll PM him in a few days.

    Thanks!

    Hi Dave,

    I think you should answer in full here with values, since that's where the info was sought...

    We don't mind supporting your site, mate, and indeed do so, but poaching our members rather blatantly like that is just a little bit naughty!

    Fair's fair, so please answer Dan's query here, as the information will also be of benefit to others. He can then visit your site later if he so wishes.

    Cheers!

    Marco.

    Did I inadvertently open a can of worms? If I did it was not my intention... I had asked the question directly by PM and was told it would be posted in my thread for the benefit of the group and now we're going to another web site?

    I'm I missing something because I admit I'm confused?

    I'll wait for Dave to read your responses and clear things up.

    Thanks!

    Hi Guys

    When I reveal the answer to the question, it will bring up all sorts of interesting issues. I started www.time-step.net to address this sort of thing. There I have security and comfort.

    I'm not poaching, simply suggesting asking the question in a more appropriate forum, one that is objective and technical as well as subjective.

    I have finally started to definitively measure the various mods, all of them, for the SL-1200 and also the SP-10.

    I hope this makes sense?

    Regards

    Dave
