Klotz MY206

[337alant]

What do you folk think of the Klotz MY206 cable for internal wiring on an ongoing 821 pre amp project ?
Im not realy using it as a shielded cable just stripping out the cores but the guage is judt about right for the wiring on the 6 way switch to the phono inputs
I havent tried this cable as an interconnect but it appears very good quality copper.
some pics of the progress

This is a beauty wish he had this one before

Ah what the hell, couldn't resist it any longer, I had to have one of those cases, will report what its like when I get it :D

Im getting a pair of the new Avondale 821 boards off Les when they arrive so think I will build another one in this case with relay selector switching and one of these stepped attenuators http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121337752812?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Looks like you got the building bug again Alan....

Always great to see (and hear)

[337alant]

Yeah just looking for that bit of extra gain in the pre whilst retaining the transperency of the B4 buffer, the 821 boards from LesW have just that :eyebrows:.
I have tried this amp with a single input / output and it was very nice so I am presently just adding vercatility with switching and more input/output'sMay still do a bit of cap rolling on the 821s as well to see what works best in my system :)

OK Finally got round to finishing the 821 Pre Amp and its sounding fabulous now
25K Goldpoint mini Vee stepped attenuator.
6way Elma switch installed for connectivity
5 sets of Phono inputes and 1 pair of XLRs, 2 sets of phono outputs
Changed the input and output caps on the 821 boards for 10uf mil spec wet tants

I used the same copper from the inside of my LDR pre amp, well it was the Klotz MC500, good cable but the dielectric shrinks back quite badly when soldering
