Bet you did, shweety. I'd have done you! :bonk:
In the grand scheme of things this cadmium scaremongering nonsense, is just that: scaremongering nonsense. There's more danger of being asphyxiated by your own fart gas!! :lol:

You must fart a lot. :eyebrows:
It's not scaremongering on my part.
It's nasty stuff, hence getting banned for general use, with a few exceptions for now.
If it never pops, then there is no problem until you come to dispose of it, or sell it.
Interesting development there Marco. My LDR pre amp has been with Chris for a few weeks now. I sent over to him as he was going to kindly tidy up a few mistakes that I made when I built it. But he has gone a bit or R&D crazy and developed it further, which is bloody fantastic as far as I'm concerned. Im not knowledgeable enough to be able to let you know what he's done, he did try and explain, I'll leave that position for him, But Chris says he is completely blown away by the differences the developments have made to my already excellent dual mono pre amp. I can only presume the LDR he is sending you has the same new developments fitted .
I'm not talking about you, in terms of the scaremongering, but a certain manufacturer, whose designs I would argue are more dangerous, minus DC protection circuitry, than any LDR preamp! ;)Quote:

Honestly, you couldn't make it up!! :lol: :mental:

Nice one, James. I believe that's the one Chris is sending me :)Quote:

Bear this in mind and see if you can get a good PSU for it .Quote:

So much effort to be lazy! :mental:Quote:

Like I said earlier on the thread, when the LDR arrives, a full report will be written, outlining the pros and cons of each, between it, the Goldpoint and Croft, in the context of my ears and system. First things first, I'll get tomorrow's resistor 'bake-off' completed.
