Anyone done any reading, or indeed tried out any of the projects from the 'lampizator' website? (www.lampizator.eu).

I'd been reading this page in particular:http://www.lampizator.eu/LAMPIZATOR/...ishizator.html
Especially the bit about building a single transistor based output stage into an 8-pin op-amp socket. It all sounds thoroughly intriguing. Unfortunately, I'm away for the weekend, so it will have to wait, but I'm thinking about this as a little project over the next couple of weeks.

On a separate note and having spent the train journey from Swindon to Cardiff this morning reading his amazing website, I was reading the bits on repairing CD players and improving the sound from budget players, so when I got home, to my delight, my parents old Yamaha (actually my old Yamaha) CD player of almost 20 years had been dug out for use but was skipping. An hour later with my new knowledge I not only had it playing faultlessly again but sounding a load better too after snipping out the caps in the output stage. I'm quite chuffed!
