Diy Links

[leo]

Heres a few links to places I've used in the past where I've had parts etc from for various diy projects
Also any other interesting diy links in no particular order

Decibel Dungeon, this is the actual site that first got me into diy, lots of interesting stuff on there especially for those wanting a bash at Chipamps http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/nuukspot/decdun/

AYA dac designed by Pedja Rogic, The bare pcb was brought from here http://www.pedjarogic.com/ (no longer running) He now owns this company selling half kits and fully built dacs http://www.audialonline.com/html/home.php
Pedja is a great chap to deal with, very helpful, highly recommended

Paul Hynes http://www.paulhynesdesign.com/ Got to be the best discrete regulators I've ever tried, recently used in the Sabre based dac

ALW super regs , bare pcbs or fully built regs can be brought here http://www.at-view.co.uk/alwsr.htm , they also sell the SB+ (based on a hghly modified Squeezebox) I've not heard the SB+ but its reported to be very good

Twisted Pear Audio http://www.twistedpearaudio.com/news.aspx Dac modules, amps etc

Avondale Audio http://avondaleaudio.com/ Nice range of diy modules and ready built kit

World Design http://wduk.worldomain.net/ Nice valve amp kits, also have an excellent forum

Hypex http://www.hypex.nl/ UCD modules

Shiny metal, http://www.ezdiyaudio.com/ I got the PCM1794 based dac pcb from here, as far as I know they only sell bare pcbs

Audiocom http://www.audiocominternational.com/

RS http://uk.rs-online.com/web/

Farnell http://www.farnell.com/

Cricklewood electronics http://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com/Cricklewood/home.php

Another site aimed at basic diy. Some controversial opinions perhaps, but his published circuits work. http://www.lampizator.eu/

A few excellent sites to take a gander at. In the interests of disclosure, they're all run by friends of mine, but I have nothing to gain by pointing you toward them & someone might find them useful, if speakers are your thing.

www.quarter-wave.com -Martin King's site. If you like TL etc theory, & heavyweight math, this is your kind of site. There are also some excellent projects there.

www.planet10-hifi.com -various drivers, many excellent cabinet plans & other things

http://www.geocities.com/rbrines1/ Bob Brines's site. Sells speakers (if you're in the US) & plans worldwide for some excellent BR & MLTL cabinets. Also some very well written articles on various speaker-related subjects.

Another supplier of components is N.R. Bardwell
www.bardwells.co.uk
It's mainly cheap surplus-type stuff but perfect for picking up general tinkering/prototyping supplies as so so much cheaper than R.S. or Farnell (also a proper shop in Sheffield - worth popping in if you're in that neck of the woods)
