Tonight’s Goals: Accomplished
 |
Well, the goals for tonight I posted earlier were completed. I got the SCPH-1001 properly fitted with top-panel buttons which act as Play/Pause, Stop, Prev Track, Next Track, Rewind, and Fast Forward. I once again ripped into a SCPH-1080 controller in order to do this, but this time I learned from the past mistake and did things right.
I’ll write more about that later, I just wanted to share that things actually got done.
I was also able to add the power consumption information to the Millett Hybrid Maxed write-up, which makes it pretty much complete. I might make another one of these with a slightly different case (silver, wood end panels), and a different output stage. I’m not sure yet, though… next is for me to get back on to the Honda Music Link firmware rewrite thing. (That’s going to be a huge project…)
Anyway, now it’s bed time. Maybe tomorrow I’ll write up a project page about the SCPH-1001 modifications. I don’t think I’ll include much info about how it sounds (beyond “pretty good”) because I’d like to see some objective tests done on it, and I don’t have the facilities for that.
Yes. Bed. Goodnight. :)
Nice choice(s) of listening material.
Though the Clock DVA disc isn’t the best for critical listening, a lot of those releases were mastered very poorly for CD (sounds more like a vinyl master).
Yeah, it’s got a ton of background noise… What I was actually going for was discs of varying age, because I was thinking I might have a problem with the laser in the Playstation. Turns out that it’s either very intermittently flaky, or… there’s no problem.
(I think the problem is that damn SCPH-1001 disc retention spindle… Easy to get the disc off, hard to get it seated over all three bearings. I probably didn’t have the disc perfectly level before.)
