News about the Compact Clone: LDRs
2007-11-03 by JH.
I've made a lot of listening tests with a new LDR, and after changing the capacitor values slightly, I got excellent results. The LDR is the Perkin Elmer M 9960 11A. Thats the same Flat Pack size as the one I tested before, but the "A" type has the right resistance. It's rather unexpensive, and the form factor is very good for arranging these LDRs around the incandescent lamps. I see it coming that it may be hard to buy in small quantities around the world (in Germany, they *are* available). I never wanted to go into the component selling / kits business, but maybe I can make an exception for these LDRs if you want me to sell them along with the boards. The reason is, they are *flat*, and will fit easily into a padded envelope together with the bare PCBs. What I won't do is selling some boards with, and some boards without LDRs. I'll either sell the boards + 8 LDRs to *everyone*, or I'll just sell the boards. What is the general preference in that question? The 8 LDRs would be about 10 Euros (for all 8 of them). http://www.jhaible.heim.at/compact_clone/compact_clone.html JH.
