XLO electric cable company : Anybody home ?!
Thanks. The info you provided is very useful to me.  
Digital XLO signature RCA cable : Changing one end to BNC
"My experience with the Cardas xlr-to-rca adapters showed them to obscure detail and muddy up the soundstage with less precise/indistinct images." This is an analog cable... Digital signal might behave differently I will try it and report...

XLO does not exist I was told... Is that right ?  
Capacitors for Linn Linto phono stage Recap
The Main PCB is officially dead :-( The PCB copper stripes under the smd caps pealed like hell. They were manufactured thin as atoms. The upgraded Linto power supply works fine and tested and is up for sale ...

The caps arrived.  Replacing the regular ones (even though they need double sided sodering) went smooth. The SMD caps are a nightmare to remove. I removed 4 and 2 of them cracked the pcb lines and I had to connect the caps with wires., No matter ...

I had a great teacher ;-) It will take the parts 2 weeks to arrive, I'll assemble them and report the result...

"IMO, if you want those radial capacitors sat nicely on the PCB, lead spacing is important, and its diameter as well. Newer capacitors for the same rating tend to be smaller, you can choose higher voltage rating capacitors to match the existing sp...

imhififan, I made a final list with purchase links and (99%) matching dimensions. Please approve it :-) 1) 4 X Rubycon 105c 200v 220uF 9030aw: The original caps are MXR series which are no longer available and had a lead gap of 10mm https://pdf1...

Thanks imhififan. So we have the shopping list of 48 caps below… I added a link for each cap type with search results. I would appreciate it if you can recommend or link to any specific one that you prefer (if there is one in my search at all. If ...

Hi, I made a preliminary list of all the caps. Please see questions below… Power supply: 1) 4 X Rubicon 105c 200v 220uF 9030aw 2) 6 X Longlife RSH 105c 35v 100uF 9940 3) 1 X Yellow+ Black ?? (see picture. Are these Non-Polarized Capacitors ? do t...

Thanks ! Will do !  
Linn Linto Brilliant power supply interchangeable with Linn Karik Brilliant power supply ?
I just talked to Linn Support. The two are different Brilliants. Same PCB but different components and Voltages.
