Hey denom, going vinyl?

What are the options for an input selector - for say 4 inputs? Is there a ready made switch available that can be bought or do we need to assemble one from components?

Thanks for confirmation. Add the same for Hemant's Kit as well.

Hey denom, going vinyl?

Actually keeping all corners covered for future, as I feel this pre will be with me as constant whilst other gears might come & go

Hi Sachin,

Input Source Selector DIY Kit 4 to 1 Way 4 Channel Selection | eBay

Just a quick question for the experts.....

If we use a 18-0-18V secondary r-core, then what is the DC voltage that we get after the power supply filter?

The source selector kit listed in the link above has specs of 8-15V DC. Was wondering about whether this source selector will work in our B1 kit.

Thanks.

That board has a rectifier circuit build in and it runs on 5v Dc. You can directly connect the 18v AC to that Input selector board.

Thanks Bibin for your response. Am pasting the specs from the e-bay website

--------------------------------------------------
Package Include
1. Input Selector DIY Kit (4 to 1 Way)
2. Rotary Selector
3. Assembly Manual


Features
1. Support 4 single-end inputs (RCA) or 3 single-end inputs plus 1 balanced input (XLR), for both R and L channels .
2. Blue/White LEDs for indicator.
3. Built-in voltage regulator.
4. Required DC supply voltage 8-15V DC.
5. PCB Dimension: 120mm(L) x 53mm(W)
---------------------------------------------------

It says required DC supply voltage 8-15 V DC. So can we connect it directly to the 18V AC? Sorry if this question sounds very basic!

There is a circuit diagram provided in the description, check that too. Even if you give 18v DC it will work. If you look closely the board you can see the regulator IC. It will convert the input volt into 5V. Trust me that was not a blind reply, In the diagram you can see 5-30V.

Thanks,
Bibin

Thanks Bibin for the clarification. I have always been 'challenged' when it comes to electronics. Trying to break out of it by trying out some DIY!

Thanks to all you guys (Om, Sachin, Bibin and others) for clarifying my basic doubts.

 

[keith_correa]

@Bibin - can you please see if you can include tips [chisel, pencil and bent chisel] for the Soldron?
Also,
Soldering Stand with sponge/cellulose
Jackly [or better] 32 in 1 or better screwdriver set

BTW, which DMM are you suggesting?
