Hello, hope that somebody can help me out. Searched the Forum with no result....
Just finished my first DIY - the g1176 - and first i want to thank Jacob, Kev, Frank and all the forum for the great support and the lot of information.
My unit seems ready now, yesterday i did the the important measurements - got 30V and -10V, 35V at the Meterlight so I decided to put some audio thru to finally test it.
What happens?
The 1176 pass audio. There´s no hum (without the "no-hum-cut") and no heavy distortion (only when Input and Output are full CW) and it seems to compress audio material - the attack and release knobs do what I expect, also the different Ratios affect the sound...
BUT
It sounds like I have an Low cut in my signal. I miss the promised warm sound. everything sounds like going thru an telephone-speaker ???!!!
Ok, its not calibrated yet, cause I miss the SIFAM (the sub. VU-Meter work in GR mode) and i did not all the Q1- Q15 measurements cause it seems to work...
Any suggestions???
(When i try to measure the voltage on output - i put one tip on Output GND and the other one on Signal hot the sound becomes a bit louder and more low frequencies can be heard - thats strange, isn´t it?)
