gear porn - massive passive

[Learner]

[quote author="thermionic"]I read on Massenburg's forum that there was a Chinese clone of a MP :shock:

When quizzed the guy who mentioned it said it looked identical, but couldn't confirm if the circuit had anything in common.

hey Justin,
Got a link to that thread?

very curious to check it out, no pics I would assume?

Sounds like a big load of abbba hubba to me..........I mean, the time and the skill required to reverse that piece would be equivalent to design & build your own from scratch based on the filter encyclopedia cookbooks and a copy of the 1962 Radiotron Designer's Handbook & The tube amp book(not to mention all the available source of patents on the net for idea and inspiration of course :shock: :green: ).

I just can't see the intention of cloning that thing, for profit?(smart enough to clone but stupid enough to sell to the whole world?) or for self use? If he or she knows enough to reverse that piece, I am pretty certain they wouldn't bother clonning that thing.

Perhaps the person mentioned the clone was refering to prototype produced in china, as they might be moving their manufacturing to?

[quote author="Viitalahde"]The filters of the MP are in parallel too, I believe. Split'n sum.

Why would anyone want to clone it? Beautiful engineering this is, and would be lotsa work. Design yer own.. Jakob did! :thumb:[/quote]

Ohh yes I´ll 2nd that..;-)

Kind regards

Peter

If Deadringer made a clone it would be called the Ultra Passive, (except the only passive part would be the knobs and case), with Ultra Low Noise Passive surface mount op-amps, slots in the front to show the glow of the passive Vacuum tubes (with LED backlighting) and it would be in a 1RU case for $199.00.

Regretfully i didn't read the postings about copyrights of schematics and pcb layouts...

When will i be send to the jail? :twisted:

if i:
a) copy the pcb layout 1:1
b) write down the schematic and make a new pcb layout
c) publish diy files for the mp
d) just think about copying those thing
e) _eve_ reads this posting (i bet she will)

(basically i don't want to earn money with that)

If Deadringer will copy this into a 1RU they will probably use 3 ganged consentrics or digital controlled with one dial!

A couple of weeks ago I had a behringer in for service that stated to have a discrete input stage, never found any discrete transistors in there! but I guess that discrete for them is when they use any kind of discrete components?

Hey Frank, I think you are already in big trouble because of your MASSIVE-CALREC. :green:

oh no!

time to emigrate :wink:

oh no!

Hey Frank, come here in Israel!
There's a lot of great sur+ here!
We will buy it all for $10 and make a tone of MP's!!!!
:razz: :grin: :green: :wink: :thumb: :sam: :sam: :sam: :guinness: :guinness: :guinness:
(one only problem: there's a lot of ... these... you know... in this Israel!)
))

Jewish girls, sunshine, and electronic surplus... It sounds like my kinda place! Too bad about the bombs

 

[ijr]

Ya, three first things are great!
(and... I prefer Russian girls ))

 

[NewYorkDave]

Russian girls are awesome. I spent some time in Brighton Beach recently and really got an eyeful. The waitresses at the restaurants on the boardwalk are simply amazing :thumb:

(What the hell... This thread had already veered way off-topic anyway :wink: )

Igor! My rescuer!

Do you have a free place for me in your underground bombo shelter lab?

Iam easy to handle, can solder the pcbs for your channelstrips and put some radioactive fuel elements in you atomic laser engraving machine :grin: :grin: so you could cut 7mm aluminium (which is needed for eve_'s frontpanels) :wink:

 

[ijr]

No problems!
With Israel MilSur+ we can do allmost everything!
All Ivona_'s who will came strike us with sword
will die from our laser stuff!

BTW, is it possible to make passive _Araphat?

:wink:

I hated mathematic in high school... And teacher allways said same things

Like this? : :wink:

i'll force her to say "yes, we use cheap toco coils in our products"

:green: :green: :green:

 

[ijr]

YES!!!! Right THIS WAY!!!!!
We'll force her to say also:
_varyable u is **** if it uses capacitor coupling at tube vca output!!!
Israel/Germany United Audio DIY Army!!!

[soundguy]

sorry dude, capacitor coupling at the tube vca output is copyrighted, you cant do that.

You talk to me????
(edit:modest is better;-))
HACK 'EM ALL, dude!
