Well, i just thought it would be easier for both helpers and me to work together in a separate thread.
I'm reading the main one anyway and learn a lot from it, thanks to everyone's experience. But it counts more than 350 pages now...
From all the different sources i've seen, there are some differences in building the GSSL. I guess there is not one clone made like another as we choose what's inside with our abilities to find components and sometimes, to find good replacers as far as we can judge them. For a sound technician like me, but not familiar with electronic knowledge so far, the way of DIY might be some times very hasardous. That's why i'm glad to be here, among people who experienced at least one DIY project like this one, and among people who read schematics as some other can read musical score.
You'll understand i prefer to start a distinct thread in which i'll ask for help while the building goes on. If moderators are ok with that, that's cool.
So, my GSSL is about to be based on :
- main PCB
- super side chain PCB (the one with variable HPF sc)
- CRC board by Expataudio.
- dbx 2150A VCAs
N.B. : the project is starting. I've soldered the main components on the main pcb (i'm waiting to receive 1N4148 diodes). I've began the super side chain pcb, and bought the CRC board today. Lot of things to do yet...
So while i wait for missing components, i think about the building.
I know my 2150A are "obsolete", as i did read. But i wanted to follow the initial PCB writings as close as possible.
My question is :
Is there a way to test their good operation ?
I also think about replacing my NE5532P and NE5534P with "AP" version i found. They are said to be less noisy.
My question is :
Am i right or isn't it worth it ?
I was told to consider the Turbo mode, by expat, for getting closer to the original ssl sound. I think i already read that on that forum.
My question is :
Is it possible to make it work if super sidechain is already installed or do i have to build another GSSL ?
Thanks in advance to all the helpers.
