Re: NEOTEK: Elan 2 ?

[Ike Zimbel]

Hi Alex,     Can you quantify this a bit? Like how much headroom do you think you lost? One thing you could try is putting the stock chips back in one at a time and see when you notice a performance change. I have yet to find one chip that I will use in every position in a Neotek. best, Ike The Bubble wrote: So recently we did some minor "upgrades" to the master/monitor section of our Elan 2. Just some ideas I picked up on the board. One of the things I thought it would do was give us more headroom. but seems like we kinda lost a little. Heres what we did... added burr-browns (OPA134 & OPA2134) to the master/monitor section.  Also WIMA MKP2 0.1uF polypropylene caps to bypass all the electrolytic coupling caps. also upgraded all 30 or so stock 10uF's. we left those original non-polar caps in place and soldered a 0.1uF MKP2 polypropylene cap in parallel with them. If anyone has some thoughts on the matter I would love to hear them. thanks and happy new year. -- Alex Lyon www.bubblerecording.com -- Ike Zimbel Zimbel Audio Productions Ltd.
