Hi Juan,

as the picture shows you have been playing Blow Up/Three Blind Mice XRCD. I had yesterday an "old school" vinyl session with a friend of mine and I brought this vinyl with me for tracking test - and enjoying the music. Is that XRCD of similar quality?

Hey Nick,

thanks for the hints  Happy - the soldering iron will be hot for a while. I will change the caps after burn in. Eventually I can get some blackgates for a while, the next weeks will be thrilling!

Cheers,
Georg

I jumped on the bandwagon too and build up my first gainclone Wink. It's based on the integrated LM4780 chip with the hope that the specs of both amps are very near to each other. That works at least for the offset voltage that is exactly the same for both channels. It's done on the expense of channel separation but that's the decision. Input coupling capacitors are build up of 10 NOS WIMA MKS caps parallel soldered with a total value of 3,3 microFarad and the chip is connected with Dale instrument shunts. The power rails are fed by a  toroidal transformer build up with 4 Vishay Roederstein EYH Caps 6800 microFarad each, Elna Silmic 2 ROS caps 1000 MicroFarad and 100 MicroFarad Silimic 2 RFS near the chip. All signal cabling is silver (my wife is a part time silversmith  Happy) and power cables are of copper. The chip is cooled by two stripes of massive copper. All is build in an aluminium housing made for electrical installation.

The system is burning in but shows it's potential by now.  Cool

Hi Adrian,

I fully agree and recommend them too. It's a pleasure to hear that recordings - but it's a special selection of music ...

Hi Peter,

the music sounds silky, relaxed and there is additional room between the instruments and voices. I heard some middle age music played on original instruments with poor harmonics combined with a chorus of mostly chest voices -  the panorama, the staggering and details are really amazing  Happy

Hi Maxi,

did not found anything about that card - but found an article about some similar approach: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDArticles&op=Story4&ndar_id=8

Hi Paul, hi Nick,

Hi Nick,

it depends. I'm using a television set as PC monitor and the television is connected to cable television. Sometimes (not too unfrequent) I heard some noise in the highs. So I disconnected the VGA cable at the television set during playing music and these noises were gone. Two months ago I had to rearrange my electronics and it was necessary to disconnect the VGA cable from the PC. There is an additional benefit in terms of "free air". Maybe because there is an broadcast antenna not too far away from my home ...

I installed with Windows 7 Professional and there was oly one error message after starting unattended the first time with the new settings. I'm using Peter's settings actually.

The music is absolutely terrific, full of emotions, so sweat and detailed at once. Never thought to hear such an exquiste improvement again. I'm collecting additional voices and instruments again ...

I'm following the discussions and I wonder whether Windows 8 is introducing some active manipulation of the bitstream? Is it possible hat this big difference is caused by other operating sytem architecture?

Hey Peter,

it gets exiting if there is a better SQ after Windows 7 SP1 ...

Hi Peter,

the improvement is nearly unbelievable in my setup. Seems that the correct use of the HPET timer gives a lot more accuracy to all aspects of the music reproduction: Deeper and more contours in the bass, sweet and bright highs and allover clarity.

Hi Henri,

sometimes it was helpfull in my system to start the old version again, stop it, shutdown the PC, boot the PC again and start the new version. If you are using the unattended mode it is possible to show the album cover. If the cover shows a red frame you are fully activated and you can reboot with minimized OS.
