Have a listen and tell me what you count? Basket balls, ping pong balls, marbles, pebbles, playing dice, exercise balls, just to name a few that I hear.
Very cool. This is all reaaallly fascinating to me. On a 1-10 scale, how easy/hard would you estimate the modifications were to do?
Like! I'm using the N version of the Freya+, nine pin triodes. I totally agree with Stereophile on the A rating. Thanks for the informed thread, you make it look very doable.
Presb4,I just want to drop in and say thank you for a beautifully put together modification thread. I will be saving this for inspiration for my own Freya+, but even if I didn't own one I would have loved your write up on this. Top shelf work!!
Thanks much for sharing your experience Presb4. It’s inspiring. I have a 30 year old Optimist receiver needing some help that I’m considering restoring. Given your advice I think I’ll scrounge up some old pcb’s to practice on first.As a place to start would you please share what you use as your soldering kit? I have basic skills that are out of practice.
AllanS, any iron that runs 650-750F temp will work. So dont think you have to have a super nice iron to have fun modding. I use a HAKKO 1 Channel 70 W, Soldering Iron.
