Completed! NYD EQ / Capi output stage

[j.frad]

Hello everyone!

I have reached the completion of my stereo NYD EQ.
It' started years ago and is a good example of how bits and pieces come together with this great community.

Huge thanks to:

-NewYorkDave for sharing this fantastic sounding design.
-Chrion who built the inductors
-CAPI for their 2-stage line amp, opamps and advice
-diy-tubes.com for the PSU kit.
-the wonderful gentleman who had a few extra boards with cool added features (high pass and high shelf).
-Collin at AML for transformer advice and super fast shipping

The case is from musikding, the front panel is transparent adhesive over aluminium sheet.
Opamps are GAR2520 built by culteousness1.
Output transformers are Carnhill VTB2281.

It sound great and joins the other DIY pieces I use everyday here at DADA Studios in brussels.

Thank you every one!

Well done, mate! Putting things like this together is real DIY spirit.

Looks great. You don't happen to have the schematic of the filters or daves notes?

I think he made them available again at some point.

...Found it, see his post here:

Very clean build by the way! Much better than what I would have done!
Also I don't have so much time for diy these days,  so I'm happy to find stuff on this forum!

I started building my own gear 10 years ago now, thanks to this forum, but the last pieces I built are the first that I'm proud enough to show off . That La2a will be the subject of another topic.

Thanks everyone for the support!
Jules
