FWIW since 2001 I've sent almost 7000 packages through Royal Mail bog-standard services. I only had an issue on two occasions and both times ultimately it turned out to be a problem buyer.

Ask...

Some hilarious responses here, thanks guys :lol:

Next time I make a cable I'll take some pics, post the construction process and if I omit the instructions on which wire goes to which pin on the...

From Missing Link I've got the silver Cryo Ref speaker cables, an Orbit mains cable feeding my distribution block and an Alaqeia (?) balanced interconnect. Other than that ALL of my cables are...

Having taken a 5 year break from audio DIY to do some life stuff I recently came back to the forums as I have a new workspace and with it the chance to go through my boxes of DIY stuff to resurrect...

Phil is probably one of THE leading hifi tube amp experts anywhere.

I am not concerned about the cash, far more about him as we are practically family considering the amount of time he has spent...

Has anyone here heard anything from Phil of late?

I had been speaking to him for a while about a pair of KT88 monoblocks and had sent the cash some months ago. We had since discussed the final...

18 months of PMs haven't gotten us anywhere.

It's all in the post anyway which is why I have been writing about it in the past tense. Just wanted to work out what went wrong.

Don't tell me to calm down.

You've failed to provide this after 18 months of prompting.

You still can't answer my questions, and keep contradicting me.

Now you are patronising me.
...

So did you send that spare LDR board with the intention of me populating it with LDRs and connecting it to the control boards?

That would make sense. Except that those Silonex LDRs are no longer...

I didn't have the bit in red.

This is what i have been trying to tell you.

All you sent were the control boards, nothing for me to connect the audio outputs to.

This is ridiculous.

That post had ZERO commas or full stops, and I genuinely did not understand the information conveyed within it. It was written with the intent of helping me understand the...

Yes you explained that the 7805 was being used as a current regulator, not a voltage regulator so I agreed to leave the 12V supply I already had in place. Incidentally I can't find anywhere an...

Ah let me explain.

I have had the parts to switch inputs and attenuate volume for 18 months. Hence I know how it sounds.

Chris has failed to supply the bits which switch the output despite it...

Punctuation is important.

Can we eat Grandpa?

or

Can we eat, Grandpa?

Two completely different meanings, all because of a comma. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to clarify what...

Jesus Christ.

This is in the post now.

End of.

Quite why Chris is unable to answer any of my questions and keeps repeating that he will build it for me when I DO NOT WANT HIM TO BUILD...

OK that explains the lack of the board you showed me in April, but dude, seriously... If the parts were here to build it I would have spent today fecking building it, not typing on this thread!

I really want to avoid you refunding me after all the time you have spent but this is still not making any sense.

Where are the two boards sporting 16 LDRs pictured on the right of your diagram?...

Yep. It's already back in the box. Will be in the post tomorrow.

And you still haven't answered the question as to why you sent me something completely different to that which we discussed (and...

Chris, I can understand that this has been a misunderstanding, what I can't understand is why you have not answered a single one of the questions I posed in this thread and via email about how what...

Actually, I have enough parts here to build a couple of unbalanced LDR attenuators with 3 way selectable input.

Who is interested in one for £55? That way I get my money back, two people get a...

Chris, for the fourth and final time:

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BUILD ANYTHING FOR ME

I WANT MY MONEY BACK BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAILED TO DELIVER

I now have 6 control boards, two LDR boards and it seems yet another two are required to switch the amps. This is a really inelegant solution, and fiddly to construct not least because none of the...

A digital pot is like an analogue pot, but in an IC and the wiper is operated by sending a control value to one of the legs from something like an Arduino.

It's how I've managed to get an endless...

This is not what we discussed and I would like my money back please, this is the third time I have asked you. I don't want your casework, I'm building a complete hifi from scratch out of hardwood and...

I can see that you are a very kind man, and I don’t think for one minute that you have tried to mislead me or bugger me around. I am not trying to threaten your business or humiliate you but the...
