Fucking hope not as they seem to like me a lot. I always get extra discounts and the shipping is silly cheap. Might also be because a I buy a lot of boxes from them... a lot...
It's ok to just do the calculations... 625VDC*.707= 441VAC.
Edit: The 450V version doesn't need this much as it has a voltage doubler which generates the bias voltage which is then regulated down to 580VDC
485V is very much on the high side. Your pass transistors will get very, very warm indeed. 450V would be the max for a +/-500V amp. Up the current a bit instead.
No, not really. It should work but a trace might be deleted by mistake (that has happened) and then all hell breaks loose. Just fire one up and see if it works.
Plenty of 100nf/1000V caps to be found. This one should work just fine:

Cheap too.
You can use that PSU but you could have problems. Plus nobody has ever built that PSU there might be massive problems. I just found out over the weekend that the layout software we use has a brand new way of fucking us over with no warning.
Stick with the BHSE unit.
The KGST and the HV are pretty much the same circuit but the Megatron is very different so the same parallels can't be drawn. This more like a high power version of the SRX
That is not the last version but one of the later ones. Here is what a super old one looks like:
I'd like the pads to be a bit higher and thicker but for the price, you can't go wrong. If it is a late SR-1 then the SR-3 pads will work.
Most of the parts of the late SR-1's are the same as on the SR-3's. Not so much for the early ones.
