Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Thursday, 18-Jul-2019 17:19:33 UTC Ricardus Someone help me. I'm building 2 more DI boxes. I think there's a cure for this.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Friday, 12-Jul-2019 03:45:46 UTC Ricardus Just for the halibut, I built another "Neve" DI but I used the Ed Anderson 10468 instead of the Carnhill. Supposed to be electrically identical. I'll let ya know!
Here the transformer is wired but none of the connectors. It's actually done, and I'll post more pics tomorrow.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Friday, 28-Jun-2019 03:27:20 UTC Ricardus Used the Neve DI on Banjo tonight. Sounded great.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Tuesday, 25-Jun-2019 23:47:56 UTC Ricardus Glamour shot of my Carnhill DI. I'm using different color boxes and panels for fun. Blue and gold happens to be my high-school colors.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Tuesday, 25-Jun-2019 23:42:46 UTC Ricardus Been working on this one for a while. An inside look at my Carnhill/Neve DI. The transformer doesn't fit on the PCB, so you have to mount it off board and run jumpers.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Friday, 21-Jun-2019 15:42:16 UTC Ricardus This is the Ed Anderson Carnhill 9045/10468 Neve style transformer clone.
Is it a transformer, or the Monolith from 2001. You decide...

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Jun-2019 15:58:56 UTC Ricardus There's no getting around it. That is one sexy transformer.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Monday, 17-Jun-2019 02:11:57 UTC Ricardus I ordered a Carnhill 10468 (renamed VTB-9045 for some inexplicable reason) for an upcoming project. Ordering shit from the UK when the vendor doesn't do Paypal is a major pain. My bank doesn't do the UK.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Wednesday, 29-May-2019 04:55:23 UTC Ricardus Finished two more Bo Hansen DIs, this time with different transformers. These are made with OEP and Haufe. I did the front panels myself, from Front Panel Express. Much more fun than buying metalwork from someone else.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Monday, 13-May-2019 22:03:54 UTC Ricardus One can never have enough active DI boxes! Gotta try out some different iron! But I have to say, compared to the original BOM I built with, this is a little less interesting. All of the resistors are the right wattage and fit in the holes properly, but these 1% metal film resistors don't have the colored stripes on them, which in my opinion make a circuit look pretty. They just look like little black blobs.
(and here I thought I wouldn't be using this hashtag anymore!)

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Friday, 10-May-2019 01:44:08 UTC Ricardus Got some more transformers in, today. One Haufe, and two OEP's. Going for some different DI Box flavor.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Apr-2019 15:51:55 UTC Ricardus OK, one last post about the DI's. I've been running all sorts of signals through these things and the sonics are world class. Super happy. I also tested the 1/4 inch output, which I didn't test last night. I just assumed they worked, and now I know they do.

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Apr-2019 02:04:50 UTC Ricardus I did this build in two sessions today (the epoxying was done yesterday). Really pleased with these.
This job also reminded me how much I need a proper Dremel. So my birthday's coming up... the Dremel 4300-5/40 would be a great gift idea (wink wink nudge nudge!).
Exactam eam...

Ricardus (ricardus)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Apr-2019 02:01:55 UTC Ricardus But the job isn't done until they have feet.
