Post by: GrindCustoms on August 02, 2012, 04:44:35 AM
After too many hours of trying to figure out how to figure out, here's how i figured it..........

Wow, nice pcb sandwich there ;)
More details required!

That is dead cool  :)

Is there any reason why some of the resistors are high accuracy ones, and others are metalfilm and carbon film?

Thanks man, euh........details!

Stereo Decimator, individual channels
Board where etched by Keefe, super clean job, really impressed by the quality of the etch so i ordered more boards from him! ;D
I also tried the 100nf and 470nf multilayered ceramic cap, really love those, i think i'm going to stash alot of those in common values.

I called it Omerta because of a quebec tv serie that was called, OMERTA: La loi du Silence (the law of silence), wich was playing when i was a teenager, a cool police/mafia serie, just to add details. ;)

Oh! and that little dc jack is the undeniable truth! I now beleive! HAhahahaha!

Thanks, there's a reason for the resistor party mix, i use what i have on hand.

I'm slowly switching my whole resistor inventory to Vishay RN55D, so when i run out of regulars I order turds.

I just love those resistors, big leads, accuracy and tolerance are always on and you can have them in every single value.

The big carbon comp was sent to me by a BYOC member 4 of them in fact and 4 1M trimpot, because i did'nt had those on hand.

I want to subscribe to your DC  jack (what is it? :))

I've been meaning to order some of these DC jacks (http://www.newark.com/multicomp/mj-14sr/chassis-socket-psu-panel-mount/dp/25R4770?in_merch=true&MER=ALT_N_L5_PowerEntry_None) for a while.
About $1 at Newark.

I bought the DC jack from Jameco, was cheaper than Newark.

I forgot to give details about the finish for those who wonder.

It's a bright orange base coat that i applied a super thick single coat of black hammered paint and then baked it a 450F. It was making bubbles, i tried to keep the bubbles from blowing by playing with the temp, but it was not working.

They weren't intentional? I like the finish, the cratered surface of the black paint looks cool!

Yeah, they where, but i wanted to keep the bubbles in the paint instead of having them blowing.

It still looks pretty cool to me.

Maybe it will work next time..hehe
