yes, i've read about this crazy story of them being the Beatles in disguise. It surely helped them to get some unexpected success at that time. Anyways, i would rate them as a good band in itself with really good musicianship regardless of the Beatles influences (which are very welcome, though)

These days I am listening quite a bit to a (obscure?) 70s band from Canada named KLAATU... especially their first 3 albums from 1976, 1977 and 1978. they resemble a bit the Beatles style (surely the most evident influence in the band) but there is also some kind of prog (especially in their...

BAFS? wow! :p

Of course, if I had going to totally avoid the battery and rely only on a power supply, I would likely buy a toroidal transformer (which I can also find here in a local shop) and DIY some high quality low noise circuit around it... but, in the end, I am going to buy the rechargeable battery and...

but... I had not noticed at all that link shared by Gepetto! I guessed he was talking about that Electro Harmonix I was mentioning. Anyways, about power supplies, you should consider I am in Italy then getting such one from USA is going to be as expensive than buying something specific for HiFi...

Sure, but I will use the rechargeable battery to listen to the phono preamp and that linear supply would just be used to keep it powered on when not listening to it.... but it might still be used for listening purposes, though, then it's better to own a power supply which isn't just the...

thanks for confirming my suspect that, relying on a linear supply (and the Electro Harmonix brand should be a warranty it's not a too bad one) is the way to go. :) so, i will get that one and the rechargeable battery.

Actually, I suspect that 24V 100mA one by Electro Harmonix, made for guitar pedal effects would be just OK. I see they include it "in the box" with a few different EH guitar pedal effects, some of which draw 35mA, others 50mA, etc... then it might just be regulated and also well filtered, to not...

about a 24VDC power supply to always keep the phono stage on (when not listening to it), I wonder if this one might do the trick nicely. https://www.thomann.de/it/electro_harmonix_24dc_100_eu_power_supply.htm no idea if it's regulated or not... but it's rated as 24VDC 100mA, which is close...

yes @A.N.T. , will also get a supply to keep it always on (must keep it on forever? or, i.e., after a few months it can be powered off while not in use for listening? Are there any components which will wear out earlier if it will be always on 24/7 for years? ). After all, it's not needed to be...

Happy Easter to all the friends here! :D

PS: the close-up of the Black Gate caps is just sexy! :p:cool:

OMG, That's simply WONDERFUL! Thank you wholeheartedly for this! :D I was eating those tiny easter eggs without any surprises inside but, hey, THIS is the surprise! :) Time to order the rechargeable battery... after evaluating a few different solutions, in the end I decided for a maybe...

anyways.... maybe those guys didn't read it right and confused immortal with immoral? :confused: they should tell them there is a T there!

when opening that page, my browser asked if I was 18+ years old because, there in the page, there is a porn picture! :p seriously... here at italian TV, they talked about what happened to that teacher in Florida and we all italians are truly shocked by that!!! :eek: so, we should start to...

sure, why not? of course, on my previous post, i meant "they would not do bad for sure" but i forgot the not. :happy7:

to find them, i selected film caps and the polystyrene in the dielectric box. ;) maybe they are overkill on those decks? but, anyways, they would do bad for sure.

mouser has some of them example: https://www.mouser.it/c/passive-components/capacitors/film-capacitors/?m=Xicon&series=23P

just fyi, in my own 965MF (the one modded with ferrite heads), i've spotted a couple polystyrene loading caps at the PB amp inputs. ;) Then, yes, I guess they are better than average. another deck where i've noticed a couple polystyrene caps (this time put there just by factory) is my...

actually, i've bought a few of those big 1uF WIMA but i still never tried them! Regarding some good ones, don't know if as coupling caps (their capacitance values are way too low for that) but surely as loading caps (parallel between head's signal and ground) or into EQ networks, where you can...
