hi all,
the new techie mods paul is offering at the moment are his own designs, however, we both agreed in our descusions that individualy regulating certain parts of the techie circuitry would be very beneficial.
as a help to paul, i will probably be offering my services to the less technicaly minded who would like these mods carried out in the new year, however, this would need to be discussed between paul and myself before we can proceed with a plan!

Well that dual internal regulator mod really looks intriguing.
Would love to hear impressions with SR5, pre and post internal regs, on a deck equipped with a MN bearing and platter.

Hi Pete,
Don't worry, I'll be doing precisely that in due course... I expect this to be *the* definitive off-board PSU solution for the SL-1200/1210 which will leave all others in the shade!

Be careful about using the same point as that used by the Timestep PS.
I have a customer in Melbourne who received his new 'modded SL1200' with the zero volt wire connected to the top of the PCB under one of the self tap screws, for convenience presumedly. Fortunateley he is a former Hewlett Packard instumentation engineer of some considerable experience, he called me to indicate his dissapointment at this.
These screws should not be use as the earth point, as they have no connection with the zero volt copper track on the PCB. The only screw that serves as the earth connection point on the PCB is the bottom left hand corner, where the copper track is taken specifically to this point.
If any other earth point is used, then the 0 volt circuit will be via the alluminium chassis. The die cast alluminium is to an extent granular and is certainly not a good conductor, thus you will have a resistance (and noise) to earth which could seriously degrade performance.

The reason I ask is that I've obtained a high-quality DC cable from Kimber which I'd like to fit to my 1210.
Would that be the kimber cable that uses copper that has been specially optimized for mains voltage, their phrase not mine???

Hi Mike,
Noted - cheers!
Hi David,
Dunno, mate - it's just their ordinary DC cable, as far as I know. But it works very well!
How's the Techie sounding, then?

I used the screw on the bottom left , a metal tag/washer on the top board goes through the pcb and is in direct contact with the main ground on the bottom of the pcb . I'd be surprised if TS did use one of the other screws
Cheers,
Leo
