    are you planning to fork your input stage into its own board? should make that with melfs and cards like how stax does it haha I'm a fan, seems like more flexibility for mounting
  2. nopants
    I thought the golden ref lv was for actual power applications like the dynalo?
  3. nopants
    that's enough slew to feed the entire stax thread on hifi with enough left over for all the people who use ray's products

    I would say just focus on the carbon and associated psus, it will become progressively more difficult to document and track any errors that pop up. unless you get overwhelming reception the low volume stuff should be trimmed. doesn't the split supply already have lv and bias sections? I didn't see anything wrong with the amplifier boards but I probably need to take another look

    great casing I'll take one plox

    no network connectivity seems to be shooting yourself in the foot, there's a ton of options if you're open to that

    Is anyone else getting hammered by questions about the Carbon? You'd think they were in mass production by the way people are trying to suck your dick for listening impressions

    HV delay

    the real kiss would probably be a separate switch

    HV delay

    nopants replied to nopants's topic in Do It Yourself

    if you're talking about the megatron it's because of the "auto" biasing for the output stage

    m do they accept mains by default, independent of the dc rating?

    HV delay

    nopants replied to nopants's topic in Do It Yourself

    thanks, waiting on the knob to complete everything. my balance doesn't go over 40 and levels to -13 offset is similar level but I didn't measure right at power on

    HV delay

    nopants replied to nopants's topic in Do It Yourself

    that's the implication but it could just be the effects of the startup sequence. I don't think others with the Megatron are delaying the HV by 5 minutes

    HV delay

    nopants replied to nopants's topic in Do It Yourself

    duly noted. I guess I need to implement the HV mains delay then? without the delay there's some swishing sound that takes around 5 minutes to settle out

    sure that's totally fair, but I think that's what Birgir was kind of getting at. It's what I would be getting at after using as many chinese cases as I have
  15. nopants
    don't know how much PayPal matters when the qc on all the cases is garbage to begin with
  16. nopants
    isn't the carbon already technically a SiC BHSE, 10m90s and everything? I'm just thinking out loud...a "reverse hybrid" amplifier just sounds pretty cool if one is willing to appropriate the voltage necessary for the tube CCS...maybe even a hybrid mu/beta follower oh man T2 CCS seems pretty manageable if you only need to drop in those 8(?) 3675s. Easy enough to P2P, but I guess infinitely more of a pain in the ass compared to the boards as they are now.
  17. nopants
    alright fuck it I'm going to build the carbon with the PSU I was saving for a BH original, I can't take it anymore maybe the siCarbon is worth using the 1968s on as well? or an el34 ccs a la megatron....
  18. nopants
    shouldn't we fork the kgsshv carbon from the kgsshv thread
  19. nopants
    still have 2x kgsshv sumr transformers, should do good substitute duty. maybe I need to dual mono

    HV delay

    nopants posted a topic in Do It Yourself

    http://nervenet.info/HT_delay/ I bought 2 of these to delay the HV startup of the megatron, I'll let you guys know how they turn out. Seems like a pretty nice drop-in
  21. nopants
    any builder can implement it that way it's just a matter of what fits
  22. nopants
    you can always buy random heatsinks and mount them inside. that's what I was planning on doing if my case didn't meet proper sizes
  23. nopants
    is that a warning for all resistors or just prp
  24. nopants
    isn't that what the dissipante series is for
  25. nopants
    you posted a link to some stone supplier before, have you found any new ones
