ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M.......

try talking about how the intellectual property of many designers is stolen from them and sold as cheap knock-offs from small Chinese companies, on eBay. Where some people buy these ’copies’ to the tune of hundreds of examples.

Where the circuit itself is the LEAST of the aspects that makes the gear perform as well as it does.

Nevertheless, hundreds of the bad copies are sold....to people who do not understand these aspects. Thinking they are getting something for nothing. A quick search on ebay will show many dozens of re-sellers of cheap copies.

For some enlightenment on this subject, do a search and you will find much discussion on this at the audio site ’DIYAudio.com’. Some of the designers will share their experiences. Quite the horror stories.

Essentially, is it any wonder at all that some don’t share their schematics, these days?

I had a very good friend one time.....His name was John Bedini.....He wouldn't share schematics either and I'm not sure that is the way to go.....There is a lot of fine equipment that either gets repaired poorly because of the lack of good information or is not repaired at all.....I see it every day with the Bedini amps.......I also respect Ralph's view-point......But I would like to do something with this little pre-amp and I would like to do it to Ralph's quality........Will 

I wouldn't want people to mis-understand me......I have nothing against Ralph, its his property and if he wants to keep it , that's OK with me.....I'm sure he doesn't mind me looking somewhere else for it......I've worked with Ralph before and he is a very nice person to deal with........This forum doesn't need to get carried away with this.......All I need is a schematic for my UV-1 M/M project             Will

If all else fails, guess you can just have Ralph complete it.

Will, did the description of the circuit I gave you on the phone not work for you?
