Re: Phono Transfer System Construction Information

I have some 4.7uF Cornell Dubilier PP film caps that I used in the Sontecish EQ. I still have some that are within a couple of precent of each other. This produces +19dBu @ 20 Hz.

I’ll leave the other ones with 1.0uF in place and will listen to see which I like best.

Re: Phono Transfer System Construction Information

Thanks Wayne. I’ll see what I have and what will fit. I rhink I’ll stick with a film cap.

Re: Phono Transfer System Construction Information

I'm making three separate PTS's. Each will have a tonearm attached. I have the three working. Doing the frequency response tests in the construction information produces the stated results. My gain structure is a little different so I'll use my numbers instead of what's in the instructions. If there...

Re: A Quadrature Power-Summed Compressor Sidechain For "The Uno Compressor"

VAR - the only time I use that mode is for mix bus work, most similar to what Paul is doing, and then to tailor the pumping factor rhythmically for creative effect. Knobs seem to both live in a fairly narrow 8-11 o'clock range, no matter what. I’ve noticed that most of the time I’ve been using shor...

I don't have space. It's two units with VAR boards in a 1RU case. It's jam packed in there.

Re: A Quadrature Power-Summed Compressor Sidechain For "The Uno Compressor"

I'll add that over time I find I'm using non-linear mode the most with Pico's in pop music, acoustic Americana, etc. I rarely ever use adjustable attack/release, it's NL or RMS. Never the peak mode. I think the waveulator is a better approach for transients. I probably should have built it that way...

Re: A Quadrature Power-Summed Compressor Sidechain For "The Uno Compressor"

I’m glad you are working on a Pico replacement. I’m not enamored with my Pico builds. I have them only in variable A/R mode. I don’t think that VAR circuit was tweaked out as much as it could be. It always seems like too little or too much. I’ve wanted to switch them over to using the timing caps bu...

It’s been a while. I think there was a custom driver that had some settings control. As I remember there was some weirdness over mono/stereo settings and levels. I could be misremembering though.

Re: A "Dummy" Cart For Phono Preamp Noise Testing

When I originally built the PTS I tried de clicking flat vs RIAA. It didn’t seem worth the trouble to me. Using RX. I don’t deal with pre RIAA curves. That miniDSP stuff is great. I have an MCH Streamer I want to use to pass native DSD for a cutting rig. A full blown Pyramix isn’t in the cards becau...

I’ve never been interested in that part of it. I’m still not. It seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for little benefit. I’ve never had a problem with declicking after RIAA.
