Re: Do any Polarises have unsocketed ICs?

2012-08-29 by wjmwpg

I've been searching the list-posts to see if this output board ever came to fruition but haven't found anything . . . did this ever happen? 

Alternatively, are there other suggestions to mod the output board besides dropping a TL074 in place of the LM348?

Cheers,
James
