Chris, a simple CLC filter may be all you need with a step-down Buck converter. I can provide a simple schematic that I've built and used successfully in a preamp. The CRCLCRC filter by XRK471 works well with headphone amps where you would hear any noise emanating from a smps. See post #68 You...

Of course they charge a premium. I wouldn't expect them to do it for free. Having used TRX for about 3 years, I found their prices to be very reasonable, considering that they import everything exactly as I request - and they go out of their way to source those hard to find items. Prices are...

What an eye opener this thread has turned out to be. I've lost my respect for some members and gained respect for others, based solely on how they conducted themselves. Way to go guys!

You don't have to get stuff shipped to you from abroad if you want DigiKey and Mouser stock. There is a company in Pretoria called TRX Electronics who will do it for you at much cheaper rates. I get 95% of my electronic components via them. The normal procedure is to ask them for a quote, giving...

Dewald is not on this forum (anymore) AFAIK. Here is his website: dewaudio.com

Sure, and you're free to ask if he's willing to make some available. But since there hasn't been a reply, I think you have your answer. Either that, or he doesn't check in here often. The other point I tried to make was that since he's shown exactly how it's done and what supplies to use, most...

My takeaway from this excellent thread is that the OP wanted to show us how we can make our own cables. And how to do it neatly. I doubt that he was advertising a cable making service. Why don't you try making your own? All the information you'll need is here and I can testify that Max's prices...

Interesting. Thanks for posting @kolakidd. Have you perhaps had a chance to listen to an Iron Pre yet? I know that Wayne's BA 2018 linestage is well respected, but I wonder how it compares to the Iron Pre. I'm aware of at least two IPs in SA and I'm the lucky owner of one of them.

Not a music video per se, but the history of a song and the genre it started.

Anyone with a remote for Apple TV Mk2 or Mk 3 (aluminium version) that's just laying around and not being used? I'd love to take it over.

RS Components is one place that should have (or can get). It's commonly known as a rotary encoder.

This can be interpreted in two ways: 1. Avgas (100 octane) and other high octane petrol, i.e. 95/98 at the coast miraculously gives your engine more power, or... 2. (the correct version) Higher octane petrol has greater resistance to knocking because it is more resistant to autoignition under...

Dewald Visser knows his stuff. Pretoria (Cullinan).

Who would have guessed? :ROFLMAO:
