Well...I got the caps in.. AVX Niobium Oxide Nichicon Aluminum Polymer Panasonic FP in both 6.3V and 16V Murata Aluminum Polymer Both the Murata and AVX appear to be environment sensitive as they were shipped in sealed bags with dessicant and a humidity gage to see how much humidity they were expose...

That's pretty fascinating. It seemed as a generalization, physically larger resistors performed better and, as previously mentioned, the Susumu and RCD resistors performed best. I was kind of hoping the Vishay/Dale TNPW resistors would be mentioned as they're readily available in a plethora of value...

I'd be interested in seeing the resistors that weren't as good. It's also nice knowing how far from good they were. For through-hole I used the Vishay/Dale RN or CMF series.

The Susumu RR series seem to be readily available but the "audio" version RRS is pretty much unobtainium.

The audio specific Susumu resistors are impossible to find. RRS series I believe it is. They look like their regular RR series with gold ends. Anyway...I rolled my first SMT board and "cooked" it on a hotplate yesterday. I'm amazed at how well that works. I'm still learning how to make PCB...

Thanks for that John. I got my Arduino and LCD kits in yesterday and put those together. I had it pushing messages to the I2C LCD and turning relays on and off last night. I still need to work out some sort of crude user interface then I can start looking at the MIDI I/O. A rotary encoder and a coup...

About those Susumu resistors...Digikey has about a dozen series of them in three different compositions. Thin film seems to be the only practical composition as the others have too small of values. Unfortunately that still leaves a few series. Off to the data sheets I guess. Another comment....I see...

I've really gotten interested in working with SMT as I don't have to drill out a PCB and can "cook" the board on the hot-plate in a matter of minutes and be done. That said...What are people using for SMT parts for audio circuits? Is there a particular size/brand/line of resistors that you...

I'm using MIDI for a couple of reasons. I already have to use MIDI to change the presets on the EQ's. If I don't use MIDI for the mixer...I'll have to come up with some way to take whatever preset I select for the mixer and have it generate a MIDI message to the EQ's. Either way...I'm working with M...

Hey JR, Thanks for replying. This is my live bass guitar rig and most important to me is presets and mute. Sometimes I'll want just the tube preamp...Sometimes I'll want just the SS preamp. Sometimes I'll want to blend the two and in between each preamp is an analog MIDI graphic EQ for tailoring dif...

THAT's the project I'm working at least. Since this place looks to be pretty THAT-centric I figured it's probably the best place to ask THAT questions (Besides THAT Corp of course) So first up...I'm way out of my league based on the discussions I've read here so far so please bear with me if I say s...
