Thank you for this. I had totally missed this development and only found out about it from your video. I was able to clock my Mystic CC to 45Mhz without any stability issues.

This is the one I used: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B07MPMM97V?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Sorry for the late reply.

I, too, have powered my PB 540c with USB-C for some time. I used a Surface Pro USB cable from Amazon, one that has a built-in trigger for 15v. I cut off the surface connector and wired in the PB power cable with connector to it. It works wonderfully.

Yes, I managed to solve the snapping and popping issue. It wasn't the wire but something funky going on with the plastic housing (where and logic and analog board reside) and where it mounts to the front of the CC. It has some play in it and moving it while turned on resulted in the weird...

Hi, Very sorry to hear about the family medical emergency. I really wish the best outcome for it. I've tried Wish I were, clean installs of various Mac OS versions, no extensions, and pretty much everything that I can think of. Nothing has an impact.

Ok, just an update. The snapping and popping sound apparently is from a bad speaker wire (I assume) and I had a play session with Heroes of Might & Magic II and I could hear the glorious stereo sound coming and going with the pops. So stereo sound is definitively there. I just need to get...

Ok thanks, it's the same guide as I followed. I did post my findings about the components a few posts back: CS1 is obviously a bypass cap, given its location. I still measured it to check my meter's accuracy; bang on 100nF CS3 is an electrolytic 1µF 50v CS5 is 3.2-3.3nF, not 3.3µF as has been...

@Fizzbinn @YMK - I used the Welcome to the Going Stereo page of the Colour Classic Compendium guide and http://colourclassicfaq.com/general/stereo.html, which has some issues in it. @JDW I certainly am aware that the process is more complex than slapping on another speaker. I will ask Kay Koba...

Hmm... Not sure what's going on... Sounds Control Panel indicates Stereo But Monitors & Sound doesn't look like it is... AppleCD Audio Player plays through all speakers even when selecting left or right. Am I missing something? Anyway, as for the components, here are my findings: CS1 is...

@JDW I just did the stereo mod but I’m a little confused. While the new speaker is working, there is no stereo separation whatsoever and new speaker is more quiet as others have reported. Speaker is from a CC donor. Control panel shows no difference than what it was. Still mono. I’m sure I...

This is all correct. Neither method seemed to have any impact so I would hold off on doing it unless there is perceivable clipping or distortion which is what @YMK was saying all along. I think I'll do the stereo mod this weekend and see if I get the extra options in the sound control panel...

@YMK I did the resistor mod again but this time across the signals to ground. I did not notice any change or improvement in terms of volume. I think it is fine without the resistors from my brief testing so far as I didn't hear clipping or distortion. It must be a sound mixing issue but I can...

Ok, here is the pinout diagram to start with. Still testing resistors.

Yes, that's the plan. Once I've verified everything. I'm actually already trying to think of how fancy do I want to get with the sketch. :)

Doh! I have them in series. I'll try fix this but it might take a couple of days. There shouldn't be any harm having them in series?
