Your call of course.:)
He seems to be behaving now, Dave, but he'll be getting watched very carefully.
Once thing I must insist on, though, is first name and location details from him, so, lingling............
What is your proper first name and your approximate location details?
You will also need to pop into the 'Welcome' area and introduce yourself to people. Please do this A.S.A.P, thank you!
Marco.
Yes and noQuote:

You'd need the higher rated external supply if you want to replace the 10v reg supplying the output stage with the three pin 12v rated Murata
A note of caution though, some other available external supplies can measure higher on the output than their rated at which may get the voltage a little too close to the big caps max rating on the 7520 DC input.
These are the sort of mods you have to be very careful with;)
I'd imagine Stan will give out more details for his new external supply soon as its available
Thanks again. Just been out of the loop for a week or two and catching up on the latest and greatest!
That looks to be unregulated output, although its badged as 15v DC it could measure as high as 20v if used on a light load which means not suitableQuote:

Hi Neal,
That's outrageous. Why didn't you report it at the time? :(
Trouble is, I don't look at this part of the forum very much...
Mmm... I'll let it slide for the moment, as it doesn't seem appropriate now to act so long after the event, *but* rest assured that Mr 'lingling' is now well and truly on my radar ;)
Guys,
As we can't be everywhere, and so don't always spot things, can I take this opportunity to remind people that if anyone is subjected to abusive remarks like that to contact a member of the management team immediately so we can deal with it accordingly - cheers!
Marco.
Will do.Quote:

:offtopic: I have a crazy idea, lets use this thread to discuss mods to the 7520.
In my usual impetuous style I couldn't wait any longer and did the MLC5/6 mod this evening despite my misgivings.
Hmmmm, very early days but not looking good so far compared to the 4032. On the plus side the vocals seem a touch warmer and more human and the overall sound is maybe a bit more realistic. But on the down side the bass is boomier while, unexpectedly, there also seems to be a sibilance effect, if a track has cymbals or similar they completely dominate the music while Natalie Imbruglia appears to have developed a whistling gap in her teeth.
Worst of all, it appears to have lost the toe-tap-inducing quality of the 4032, though that may have been the fact I was listening critically rather than just relaxing and enjoying.
I'm using a thoroughly run in, but unused since the 4032 arrived, 4562, all else standard.
But it is extremely early days, wouldn't have posted about it yet but someone had to get the thread back on track. It'll have plenty of time to run in as I'm going to have to learn how to solder if I'm to return to the 4032.
