PinkFloyd Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'd love to hear your impressions it's not every day that a different crossfeed circuit comes about but, when it does, it's worth trying. Unfortunately I don't have any 18K resistors to hand (everything else but ) have ordered some and they will be here Tuesday...... in the meantime if any of you finger on the iron fast guns feel like trying it out and giving feedback it would be appreciated. Feedback in this thread here please, my joint couldn't handle the bandwith, Just thought I'd put this by you guys and trust you'll appreciate it. Pinkie.

fierce_freak Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 That looks pretty interesting, and I like the idea behind it. I don't have the parts around to try, but maybe I'll be able to order up some soon. I'll probably follow that thread you linked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one in circuit and to be honest it's so natural sounding I find it hard going back over to normal headphone listening. Once the transistors etc. are incorporated into the circuit this promises to be one very special little device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I assume this would work balanced as well? Double the circuit for + and - sides? resistors between L+ R+ L- R- etc? I want to stick 1 in a 4 pin xlr barrel I guess I need to make sure it'd work on the output side of a headphone amp, too, or I'll have to do it differently.

JBLoudG20 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Dan, It should work, assuming the XLR is wired for ground as well (it should be, but you never know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I don't see any real ground in the implementations that have been done. 2 RCAs and no power doesn't seem to have a ground anywhere. I figured using hte xlr4 barrel shell would work effectively the same way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 There are two blatant grounds on the schematic in the first post. The shell might work fine, but that is assuming that it is grounded. I never make assumptions like that, when I didn't build it myself.

grawk Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 There are grounds in the schematic, but the way people are building it (or it seems), the grounds don't seem to reference anything. No power supply, and RCA connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ok gotcha about the RCA, but the powersupply is irrelevant. I'd say as long as the XLR is grounded (the way an RCA is) then you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkFloyd Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Have you tried as yet? If so, what think you? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 haven't tried it yet. I want to try it balanced, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkFloyd Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 haven't tried it yet. I want to try it balanced, however. Definitive answer will be forthcoming on balanced hookup. All the best. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
