[attachmentid=577645]

where did u get the enclosure jazzy how much+shipping

ceh...i was considering it for some of my other projects, tak pe lah macam tu..

just want to share cheap alternative to Hakko soldering tip cleaner, since everyone solders here

[attachmentid=606277]

Ingredients

-Ayammas or yeo's tuna can ( empty of course )
-metal scrub for long lasting use stainless steel ones

[attachmentid=606292]

or use this which is cheap, but he above is cheaper, u can also get the hakko metal scrub replacement/refill, not expensive

as long as cheap i'm your man, so more money can be pumped to DIY components , for better results rub some flux into the wire scrub and heat and melt with hair dryer, scrub will be a little kinder to tip and prevent the scrub from rusting.
any improvement on the TAmp?

i was at JP today, i even saw the same color F-Elna but with a different name, u guys wanna know the name printed on it....CONGRATULATION Y.C YOUR NAME IS ON A CAPACITOR Y.C buka kilang kapasitor some where....yes its call Y.C

not sure jazzy, just a thought and i think its true, if any one notice Panasonic Caps, pay attention to the quality, i think imitations r lesser with this brand, i saw one today, quality was there, thick printed plastic shrink label, since i've seen and took out ori Pana Caps from mother boards before, i was 100% sure its the real McCoy...the printed color was really top quality. I think its better to have a genuine ordinary cap than F-Caps..i mean the price paid is the same as ori caps..
Matsushita ( the M on most caps ) produces most of the caps on earth..i read some where that the (M) means Matsushita, even some nichicons have this and even elnas..

I could be wrong on the M topic, if anyone knows better plse share..

The famous Panasonic, any one worth worth their DIY salt have seen this some where..old tv or radio

i dont know i have a feeling CapXon is a rebrand and made by some bigshot caps factory

fine gold not up to par lah...cerafine are being compared to blackgate by audio freaks...but like jazzy said, its up to individual likings, use Nic FG already ok quality, just let it cook for a few hours...my test bet phono is using capxon...for few hours i fely like throwing the phono into hot water, burn it and throw it down a cliff...but after almost a week, ita a little smoother...solid caps!!! very slow

Before i forget, i would like to mention that expensive caps do not promise best of sound, its material and accurate value that should be looked at. But i know many appreciate their DIY gadgets and want the best, my advise is use boleh2 caps and for final "dont want to mode any more" caps change to better ones.

From my brief experience i found changing value and material of cap has the most kaw SQ change

thats the thing with solid passives...u dont know what u will get until it decides uncloak...sometime it sounds good without running in and eventualy after a few days...it turns to not so good...sometime it crapy at first..after a few days sweet sound..but it took so long to show its true color by that time u've forgot how it use to sound...

I think how much u spend has nothing to do with what u like, i have auditioned many rig during the AV show and during visits to hifi shops...and not all can produce the sound i like...
Thing is the sound im looking for might not require RM20k, i mean what s the point of spending on the best if it dosent fulfill the basic requirement which is the sound u like...as far as i know, its not the price of the component, its the material and values that make the difference...
I think the calculation given by vincent has nothing to do with satisfaction, upgrade is improving and as one get closer to the perfect sound which suit one self the improvement seem minimal as the rig is getting better and better..as u cut corners on a square it will become a circle..
But if a RM10k rig already satisfy ones every listening desire even a RM100 rig would suffice..or even a T-amp or even a DIY cable...
