I just spent an amazing amount of time constructing an interconnect and when I plugged it in all I got was static. I checked all the diagrams and instructions...
I've been at this for 9 hours now. Radio Shack does not sell 1/4 W, 1% resistors at 3.3K or 1.5 K or any combination that resembles 4.7K. I have a single...
hi nate, sorry yure having difficulties. the other types of resistors will work, but i'd suggest using metal films - better sound. rat-shack's 1/2 watt...
hi all, brian cheney, of vmps, has mentioned that he gets best results w/his bolder-cables modded di/o when using a vac, set at exactly 9.83v. i was wondering...
Nathan, The type of resistor used may have a small effect on the final sound, but it won't affect whether or not the resistor works. To answer your previous ...
Thanks for your reply. I tried without an attenuator and my Preamp (Linn Classik) is clipping contantly. I used this diagram and believe that I have it...
If this is my problem I'm gonna sound REALLY stupid, but here goes. Do it need to solder the shield thingy you clamp around the ground sleeve to each other? I...
Nathan, You'll need solder at three points only. 1) Both resistors will need to be soldered to the hot lead 1) One resistor and the ground lead will need to...
Ok, so I soldered the negative sleeves together. The static went away, now I have no sound, period, just nothing. With the $137 I spent at Rat Shack today, I...
Nathan, The procedure is pretty straight forward. Not sure what exactly is happening in your case. If you happen to have a digicam and a place to upload a...

Well, I have a signal now, but it is VERY faint. I have to crank up my pre-amp almost the whole way to hear the faintest sound, but when I do, I can hear the...
hi nate, i can't really add much tot the adwice already given... something in your connection is not right. do it *exactly* per the dwg, & it should work....
While your local radio shack is convenient for that last minute purchase, they are also quite expensive. You are much better off buying parts from the various...
Hi, Nathan First, I went back to my parts box and checked the resistors I used to make the protoype plug and, damn, if they aren't the same 1/2 watters that...
hi gary, thanks for the heds-up about getting this cheaper! now, if anyone (besides brian cheney) has tried someting like this, i'd be curious... ;~) doug s....
... Hi, Craig Only that I got the Stancor trannies about 10 days ago (must have gotten the last two that Allied had :-) ). To my ear the DI/O sounds a little...
Hi Bill, No, my new TT has not arrived, and I read in Vinyl asylum the other day that others in Canada have got theirs within 48 hours, so I'm on the warpath....
Open question to the brain trust: I am using Monolithic P3 PS to power my DI/O. I compared it to Radio Shack and Atari and greatly prefer the sound of the P3...
John, you want to wire them in parallel for higher current capability, not series. If they are in fact identical, there is no reason why you couldn't do...
Hi Jack, about the sawmill. I once installed a power analysis system (self-designed, a long time ago before you could buy them, so no guarantees...) in a...
Hi Craig, Yeah, you run into some strange stuff in the industry, don't you! You are quite right, if at all possible eliminate the source of the noise....
Craig and Jack, Thanks to both of you for the advice. I'm quite sure it's not dirty or low power. I have 100 amp service from the street and have not had...
I came up about $10 short on my last Digi-Key order. Based on Jim's positive comments about LT1362, I added one to my order for $11 - it got me over the $25...
Hi Doug, a best-as-I-can-remember reconstruction, but luckily for you shorter, of the lost post... I agree with everything Gary said. A variac is a handy thing...
From memory: I did play with the input resistor, before and after the DI/O digital input tran mod. What I did was measure the SWR manually with a scope for...
thankks for the info. bc couldn't explain why he found it sounded better at 9.83v - he agrees that it will still vary, based on line fluctuations. as far as...
re: 100 ohm resistor, perhaps this is cuz it's a pro-audio piece? when i was looking at the apogee wyde-eye digital cable as a possible upgrade, i noticed it...
Very interesting, John. I had a quick look at the specs of the LT1362. It has different parameters but the wave shapes look identical to the ones in the...
