Pass B1

[sann]

Oh, I didnt know that you have acquired a tube amp as well, was it a DIY (quickie)?
so how does this new chain sounds? what's you experience of tube + vinyl?

sann

I have removed LDR from B1 and put jumpers on B1 PCB.I am now controlling volume with my Tube amp.

Sachin

then why not put the ldr in the tube amp.

 

[spirovious]

47k/50k Dual can be used IMO.

Which manufacturer?The local one is not efficient.

I am interested in the kit ... let me know how/when to make the payment

 

[Santy]

Sachu,
Also request you to courier my kit to ruenigma, as he will take care of getting it built on my behalf

Santy, are you building yours or will you also want to get it readied by our home cooking expert

Denom, I think I will try to build it myself. However, if I miserably fail in extracting adequate time to complete this project, I think I can still follow suit, may be by paying an additional "late coming fee" hyeah:

btw, who is building it for you Om or ruenigma?

Hi Spiro,
You are right,Dual gang pots are not reliable.Alps 47k can be used but it will increase the cost by Rs 800-1000.I am providing 25k mono pots once FM Bhaskar sent me.Fm Kroyin is using the same,they are sealed type and high quality.I will request him to send me for this GB.

Regards,
Sachin

Sachu,

Kindly advise exact cost to transfer to your a/c by PM/mail. My mail id
pusayoba at g mail dot com

Also advise the best iteration of the B1 pre, will go by your judgement on this & am sure the others will too. Am sure we all will require vol pot. Thanks.

Hi sachin,

I would like to put Pass B1 after my Phono stage and as replacement of SSP, I also like to feed the CD output to the B1 by a Ch.over switch, can I put the pot before the B1, and also can you provide me a stereo pot in your kit?

Sorry for too many questions?

N.Murali

 

[kroyin]

Couple of things..

Don't take my tests with various b1 configuration as definite .. I might have a LSA whose Ldrs have gone bad ( I actually have 2 )

The pot sachin talked about is 50k not 25k & they have a few left (not enough for GB)

I actually got 2 more mono 25k pots that Pass uses in B1 from here(not connected yet)

[TheCoolestOne]

Will using a stereo pot pose any problems as opposed to using 2 mono pots?

 

[sann]

I would like to put Pass B1 after my Phono stage

I have read somewhere that B1 was put before the phono, and it unleashed the true potential of the cartridge
Has somebody tried that?

Then every time we need to increase volume,we need to balance Left & Right carefully.It need practice to get perfect balance, isn't it?

Apart from being careful its irritating :lol:

I don't like it one bit. Willing to compromise on SQ for that matter.

Sann, for that you can have pearl 2 phono itself.

Pearl 2 can also work with MM cart, just implement RC loading switch to adjust cart loading. I will be implementing it in near future after F 5 turbo build.
