MP573 Microphone preamplifier / Re: Missing Capacitors

Sounds good. I purchased two pre's so I'll use the ones from the 2nd pre to finish the first one. By the time the caps get here from you, I'll be ready to build the 2nd one. All good. Thanks.

MP573 Microphone preamplifier / Missing Capacitors

« on: June 02, 2025, 04:48:15 PM »

Hi,

I'm in the middle of the build, and it looks like I'm short three (3) 330u-25v capacitors. There should have been 9, but there were only 6. I purchased two of the pre's and checked the second one, and there are 9 there, so that's good. But I'm short three (3) on the one I'm currently building. What's my best option here? Do you send me the 3 missing capacitors, or shall I just get them another source like amazon:

Replacement for 6 pcs Panasonic FM Series Capacitors 25V 330uf Low Impedance
https://www.amazon.com/pcs-Panasonic-FM-Capacitors-330uf/dp/B073YR6GCY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2FZSVGKV9AHY6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.lYGszSaGmIKqSmxQ-NYYR3toB8oaNxkK1x6ow_9wMxRNUkzN02RcFEcB3edtqYU9UtljTMxS0N6U717AmUy53o8btpqtdoBJVeTYAm_l0R3h-6-EotxYrAY9uudKCvvi8K02SvPwAy9CEQ-2dn7UUFWkgOnpxVdACeHKNRSpjB0XZWaVvJdwpTo5GnCYXifRGbXCMuf5gjOP7P07xCfgDqmMKBiYHhYITMEqpUO3dig.ODc-pEs8bNJvWepUptD3d3cL4qy-FmY6WLl7NM9Gcik&dib_tag=se&keywords=330uf+25v+capacitor&qid=1748875453&sprefix=capacitor+330uf%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

If the latter, I just want to make sure I get the correct ones.

Thanks

Thanks very much for the confirmation. I'll get started building.

In looking at the DOCS on the product page a little closer, it says, "from DOCS-20". The previous versions of DOCS suggest ranges, i.e. "from DOCS-13 to DOCS-19". Is it safe to assume that "from DOCS-20" is the correct assembly instructions from DOCS-20 through all others after that ?

Hi,

Was about ready to start my build. On the outside of the box, is says, "DOCS-24". I'm presuming that's the current exact docs version I need for this version of the kit I have. But on the product page, it only goes up to "DOCS-20". Where can I find "DOCS-24"?

Thanks.

Cool. That works for me. Just wanted to be sure what I did was correct. Thanks for the confirmation.

XT500 Lunchbox connector extender / Ribbon Cable Direction

« on: April 27, 2025, 11:10:47 PM »

Hi,

Getting ready to build my first Sound Skulptor units (MP573). In prep for that, I'm building the XT500. It looks like the ribbon cable has one "wire" at the top that is red. On the each of the two PCB's, there is a white dot. From what I can glean from the two images on the product page, the top, red "wire" on the cable should be oriented to the white dot's on the two PCB's. Is that correct? If so, and because the ribbon cable connectors can only go fit in one direction in the ribbon connector sockets, it looks like the cable that connects to the PCB that connects to the inside of the 500 series chassis is 180 degrees different than what's in the product images. See images. It'll be a little cumbersome to get it into the 500 chassis because of the cable direction/orientation of the ribbon connector, but if the "red line to white dot" orientation is the important part, then I guess that's the way it is. Granted, I can flip the ribbon cable, but then the ribbon will be kind of going over the test pins. Or... is the cable that was sent, manufactured 180 degrees the wrong way on one end? Just want to be sure before I use it for testing.







Thanks
