SRS 1.2TL Project

This was a little more demanding than a typical SDA re-build. I had a budget to work with, so Sonicaps an Mills Resistors were used for the Hi-Pass, and Dayton 5% for the Lo-Pass.
Dayton doesn't make a 13.5uf cap, so two 6.8uf caps in parallel were used instead. All resistors were relocated to the bottom of the circuit board to clear space for the new caps. The Sub-Bass Drive Inductor was replaced with a #16 gauge Erse SuperQ. The large (and heavy) 16mh spool inductor was eliminated, and a new mounting board fabricated from 1/2" MDF. A #1/4-20 Hurricane nut was installed and glued to the MDF, and holes were marked, drilled and countersunk for the new nylon stand-offs. The new Erse Inductor was installed at an angle to keep it as far away from the small Inductors as possible. Small strips of Armacell foam tape were installed on the back side of the MDF, so that when it was bolted to the back of the Aluminum front plate, it would not spin or vibrate.
To complete the work, a new #10 gauge Interconnect cable with SpeakONs was fabricated, the Binding Post Cups were modified with a SpeakON Sockets, new Gold Plated Copper Insulating Binding Posts, and finally, new #10 gauge jumpers were fabricated, with Gold Plated Copper Fork connectors. Turned out to be a lot of fun.

Very nice work Dave. Always much easier when the budget is bigger, but when it's not a higher degree of creativity is necessary.

Nicely done.

Thanks Drummin. I always give my clients options, so they can tailor the work to their liking, and budget.

Very Nice Dave! SpeakON's and everything time for a Dreadnaught.

Very nice looking work, and I bet they'll sound great!

Very nice looking indeed. No fair, no fair. I could never create that

westmassguy

Thanks guys

westmassguy Nice job, The only thing I would be concerned about is the connectors for those #16 gauge Erse SuperQ inductors. If it was me I would make sure they were insulated some how.

Just my $0.02

Thanks. I thought about it too, but, but the #16 gauge is stiff enough. I considered heat-shrink tubing, but once it's in place, they're not moving. Easier to disconnect, if the owner wants to upgrade to a Jantzen C-Coil or Solen at some point.

I would use at least some electrical tape or even hot glue to keep any shorts from happening, but than again I have a tendency to be a bit anal about short circuits.

I loathe hot glue, it should only be used for Martha Stuart craft projects.
