Another Pass B1

[lifewater]

Hi, attached are the W.I.P. pictures of my Pass B1. The B1 kit I got from Sachin was fully populated so had not much to do here :sad:. Source selector and pot (ALPS 50 K) is from the setup by the name of Audiocrafts owned by a good soul named Aminder Singh.

This is powered by a 24 V SMPS used originally for powering a VSAT terminal. Sounds fantastic and it is still work in progress.... need to tidy up the wires, polish the wood panel etc....

Thanks for viewing,

Lifewater

George,

This Preamp is one of the best that is out there. You have heard this multiple times at my place. Can't beat this. Please remember that this is unity gain preamp.

Cheers

Thanks Sachin, all this possible because of you.

Thanks Mr George, sounds very revealing.... neutral has no gain as rightly pointed out by anilva. You should try it at least once in your setup. Maybe Sachin can help.

Right Mr Anil.

Fantastic build.
I am getting very interested myself.

Oh... Good. Whats source of that chassis?

An excellent build. I am planning same SS for my TV setup B1. Already bought from Aminder.

Nice build Pranjal!

Do the knobs stick out enough for a comfortable grip?

George,

Please remember that this is unity gain preamp.

anilva, I added a SSP to my B1 to increase the gain... and it sounds great.

Thanks very much Om ji, ah the cabinet is from a very old satellite dish reciever. KRISONS or something .... remember those huge dish antennas to get DD3, Channel V etc, 4-5 channels.

Thanks Krishna, they stick out enough for a comfortable grip. I am yet to install the Myrefs in the cabinet you so kindly sent. Actually the B1 will be used with the Myrefs and presently doing duty with a NORGE2060

How can I forget those days, I had all structures (2 x 12Ft, 1 X 8ft and 2 x 1 meter) mounted on my roof top. Still have 10-12 receivers in my hometown.
