    Another opinion on Counterpoint Amplifiers

    I spoke with Mike way back and he told me they had to match up the mosfets and bought thousand piece lots to do that. It might even be true. But there is nothing to balance them and they won’t current share properly if not matched. They also did an extended burn in to keep drift under...

    $50 DAC with swappable opamps paired with WIIM MINI run through WOPL 400 and PL3300 preamp.

    $50 DAC with swappable opamps paired with WIIM MINI run through WOPL 400 and PL3300 preamp.

    Get some paste flux on the board, tin one leg of the chip, set it and flow the tinned leg. Then heat/flow the other legs one at a time. Clean and inspect under 10x loupe for any bridging, but with the flux it’s actually pretty easy. Hell, I can do it and I fix things with hammers.

    TDK AR-X, why so good ?

    If you're going to get them, either get 2.2 (2 2 later due to Bose patent crap) model or the higher ones above 3.5. 3.5 used the separate EQ box to correct low frequencies. I never understood this other than to meet a price point on the 3.5 speaker maybe? Jim took half the crossover and stuck...
