Re: Quad 303

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7

Ikea sell tubular metal table legs that bolt onto fixings screwed underneath the table. Maybe 50mm diameter? Ringing metal but easy to cut to length and use. I like the idea of round section wooden legs with quadrants cut out of them but would hate to have to do it...

Converting an optical output from a CD player to a digital output

Re: Ap30 arrived

My first NVA was an AP30, it was a Black Box kit that I assembled with some help from Richard. The most cost effective change I made was to swap the Cermet pot for an Alps Blue Velvet.
