Re: HP8903B - THD measure on Phono RIAA preamplifier
Hi Chris, thanks I also think that the reverse RIAA also helps me to reduce the noise and to obtain a more realistic measure of the distortion. The HP8903B in my opinion is still an excellent audio

HP65 software and memory strips?
Hi, While sorting through packing material to dispose of I found a package that came with my HP85 but which I not noticed. I had to do some research but realised it contains a big collection of HP65

HP-8753E Options Activated
All: Today, I pulled the EEPROM from the A9 CPU Board and took a look at it's binaries. With the help of another member of the group (Joe), who has been very supportive, I was able to finally figure

Re: Mixing 'n' matching S parameter test sets
HP stuff in general is very serviceable as I'm sure everyone here knows. The 8754A I have has been apart quite a few times since I've owned it. It's a dream to work on and pretty much infinitely

Re: HP8903B - THD measure on Phono RIAA preamplifier
Chris, Attilio, Indeed, an AP box greatly enhances one's ability to do such measurements. I've used an HP8903B w/ Pete's software for a bit some years back, and it's been good, but I've since switched

Re: Mixing 'n' matching S parameter test sets
That's a good point, Rainer. I don't have the phase-matched cables necessary. I did try making some up a while ago, but unfortunately they were not 'flat' all the way up to 1300Mhz. It's a lot harder

Re: HP8903B - THD measure on Phono RIAA preamplifier
Hi??Attilio, A reverse RIAA network is what I use.? You can check the accuracy of the EQ curve as you are doing, or if you characterise the reverse RIAA network it becomes more simple.? One thing

Re: Mixing 'n' matching S parameter test sets
I think I have the original Hp APP NOTE describing measuring S parameters using the 8754A. If I can find it, I shall scan it for here. The little T/R test set that they sold worked nicely, but it

Re: Mixing 'n' matching S parameter test sets
One could do that, but it isn't preserving the 8754A as it was originally intended to be used, it is making a hybrid VNA with the automatic switching of a 8753 etc. When we bought 8754A in the 1980s,

Re: Storage Cap Ripple
I'm pretty sure I didn't have the scope set up optimally to be able to measure any ripple on the regulated outputs taken from the Test Points, but there didn't seem to be any sign of instability on

Re: Mixing 'n' matching S parameter test sets
S parameters, as you know, can be characterized by S11, S21, S12 and S22. The two port test sets have enough directional couplers and power splitters inside to measure all four, by switching the

Re: HP8903B - THD measure on Phono RIAA preamplifier
It is true that the freq response curve of RIAA standard deviates from flat, so that THD is not exactly what you think. However, RIAA preamps are typically measured that way. You could build a passive

Re: HP ic needed
Oops, my mistake: the part-number for the MRC is 1820-2312, not 1820-2131. The 1820-2131 is the microcontroller in the same counters, it is a mask-programmed Mostek MK3870. Sorry for any confusion

Re: HP8903B - THD measure on Phono RIAA preamplifier
Attilio, What distortion values did you get? Also, what were the values you expected (and what is the preamp)? Is the level you are using for this testing appropriate for an RIAA preamp? If indeed too

HP8903B - THD measure on Phono RIAA preamplifier
Good morning everyone, I recently bought an HP8903B audio analyzer, and I'm trying to test a RIAA phono preamp with it. I was able to check the RIAA response curve, but I didn't get decent results as
