Mod your Beresford 7520

[sponge]

Is this the right adapter?

I don't think so - there may not be enough room to fit it, and it looks like the pins are separate.

Better - Get these:

I only ever use these and have had no problems.

Good luck

received my 7520 today.
Stan, can you provide some schematics or should I go my own way and do some reverse engineering?

Just got my THS4032 and fitted them correctly (thanks for the info). They sound awesome in the 7520 and are the best I have tried. I am going to stick with them.

I do have one question though. The board and capacitor required for the THS4032 now stick up above the case fitting meaning that I can't refit the original case cover. Is this something I'm going to gave to live with or do you guys have any cosmetic solutions..

If you are going to stick with them, then consider desoldering the IC socket I fitted for the 5532. Then solder in the THS4032 in its place. That way you can then close the case.

Through the mailbox this morning came the 4032s from Tirna Electronics.



I left the 7510 playing for a bit whilst I changed out the opamps in the 7520.
Plugged the 7520 back in and fired up some tunes.

Have you found any clearance issues when trying to put the top of the case back on ?

Ány of you notice a significant difference in the way the cab is soldered by 'Sponge' and how 'Trailer' soldered the cap????
It handles the job one way or the other i suppose!?

I can't say I did. The 4032s actually are lower than the 49720s for me.

This is the one by Sponge

What board did you use ? (any Pics?) , it seems you are the first to have this problem.

Same board as trailer (from Tirna Electronics. I noticed that trailers amp board (containing the IC sockets) was lower against the Headphone socket. When I looked at mine I had a sticky pad between the headphone socket and the amp board, so I removed that which lowered everything by a couple of mm. However the caps still stick out over the case (see pic).
