Correction: I didn't do squat besides helping distribute some of them.
Kevin and Birgir are the great guys behind this.
LilKnight is the driving force on making the boards.
I am very thankful for the wonderful sound coming out of my build.
Audiogon has one now x 3750.00 USD.

Congratulations S_R!
It's not the alpha pot. I had a similar problem with my offboard build unit a goldpoint.
There was a hum with the knob turned all the way down and only with the first step. Dead silent afterwards. Could not get rid of it.
With my onboard build and using he alpha pot, it's dead silent.
emooze, I have 2 or 3 PSU's from the first board run. You would have to PP lil-knight directly if you want one and I'd be happy to ship you one if you need it.
Enjoying troubleshooting?
Yeah, panhead would be better.
That snapping cracking sound must have been disturbing...
That 50k is in the negative rail though. I am not sure I follow how only that resistor blew, just by its little self.
