I'm good though my DIY spirit is a bit rattled after creative wiring today resulted in live mains shorting out with the resulting kaboom and lights out. Should be back to normal in the morning.
First step is to use them on a speaker amp with the headphone output taken from the power amps or build a M3/B22/Dynahi. These things need a lot of current which the Xcan was not designed to do.
The only other box like this is on the Phillips N6326 (or what ever it was called) or any of it's oem versions. There are two small transformers inside but the cable is fixed in place.
It's only one for the 230v, put where the two primary windings are serial connected if I'm reading it correctly. It's also the small ones next to the output transistors which I'm not so sure about finding up here.
I did try it with some mod to the output and while it isn't great, it wasn't bad either. Slow, soft and very colored which suits some people.
Now that is pure win. I wonder what codec they used for the sound on the stock machine and has anybody any idea how large the memory is in those cartridges?
I bit of an update with this troubled beast. I might have over done the number of screws holding the bottom panel just a bit but hey... it's not going anywhere now!!!
Tivoli Radio Model 2 + CD player. It was for my mother but not a bad bit of kit for the 400$ new I paid for it.
Hmmm how about we add a CD-rom drive to the N64 and make a PSX beater...
Yeah EMP's (electro magnetic pulses) are a problme for headphone listening. "Oh no, I can't listen to my headphones with these damn nuclear bombs going off all the time... "
This was indeed a DIYAudio transaction. There should even be some record of it here since somebody saw the listing and posted it if I remeber correctly.
There are already two 550's and a single 450 in place so I just wanted to use what was already there. Let's see if Mouser offers me free Fedex International Priority like they did last time...
