A super-great day in the DIY HEAVEN'´¨-.

Hey everybody

This was the day I went to the city of DIY. Aarhus. :grin:



Day startede this morning with a little walk with my dog. Great morning and this was something I forgot to photograph. Sorry. Went to the station in my little town and jumpend in the train and drov for about 3 hours. Without the big latency.

After a little trip with the bus and a walk I finally discoverered the golden numbers on the house - 21. :razz: Wuhuu!



From outside this house looks like all outher but on the inside. :grin:

I meet Jakob in his office sitting infront of the computer. :grin: He had never seen me before and we had only been talking here so I was a little nervous but after a little time I got this warm filling in my body like when your sitting infront of the fireplace a friday everning with a glas of wine

He showed me around in this lost city with very old and vintage gear I never had seen before standing every where. We passed on into the basement where my eyes came on a job, observe all the things there was laying around :shock:

After a long talk about everything we startede with the G9 preamp. I had had some trouble with humm and Gain problem.



After a little research and some printouts ( :grin: ) Jakob discorerered that some resistores had the wrong numberes. The gain was only active in the first 4 pos.. The problem was that I had forgot to check all the resistores, ALWAYS DO THAT. I used a 680K ohm and the right one was a 680 ohm so we fixed that and the gain problem was done

The hum problem was a little more difficult so there was used a time to soulver this problem. After some measures he found the problem. The toriod that transfer the power from 15V to 250 V was only delivering 220V (I can remember this numbers so correct me if I am wrong)

And some folli around the 3 frist wires in the group of 5 made my little baby very happy, AND I AM HAPPY... :razz: :wink: :grin:
