Updated first post with link's to caps specs: 470uF/550V, and 680uf/550V For those ordering Circlotron PCBs and caps, please PayPal me the amount stated in the spreadsheet: [email protected]. Please remember to include your head-case ID with your PayPal payment. As soon as the payment has been received we will go ahead and place the order at PCBNet. The orders for caps has been submitted today, and is added to the same spot in the production queue as the 680uf caps. All caps will be delivered at the same time. Thanks /S

Congrat on your build! very tight indeed. What PSU are you using for this? For how long how you had this powered on? are you running at 20mA? ... I have build my carbon using the same boards, and decided to move the CSS to their own sink and cascode those ...noticed that the current climbed up while heating up ... not quickly but steady 0.05mA/min or so ...turned out that the sink first chosen was too little 0.15K/W?

Sibelius is far from sucking at all! (at least symphonies and violin concerto) ...where the heck did you come across that one??

Quote from PCBNet. The HV900 PCB has been changed from Dual to Singles, all amount in the sheet in rgrds to HV900 has been adjusted to x2 the previous. Latest quote price has been entered as well, and an estimated price for caps+boards been calculated. Please confirm your order in the sheet The GB will be closing by the end of this week, and the order submitted to PCBNet (caps are already ordered by JDineshk) /Thanks Sorry for late responding on this. The HV900 has been changed to singles as requested. I'll add the fat/split PSU to the sheet to probe interest. we need at least 10 boards to make it fly.

how about renaming the root of the tree eg. c:\music -> c:\music_old make a new folder having the original name c:\music do xcopy /s c:\music_old\*.flac c:\music\ xcopy /s c:\music_old\*.jp* c:\music\ etc rmdir c:\music_old shouldn't take that long ... If you want jpg's to be embedded mp3tag.de is a powerful tool that let you embed folder.jpg in each folder into the flac's ...

broken cable? loose connection somewhere?

Have you tried re-installing the Adobe programs? (just on top of the existing?)

Using this book as a reference myself: Andras Batta "Opera" although is doesn't contain entire librettos it does give you some insight of the composer, some historical background and so on ... there are many similar 'comprehensive' references like that, I picked it up years ago on a bookstore sale, and use it from time to time ...

You might try to look through any available updates for Windows. The needed driver could be among those. I've upgraded an old Samsung NC10 from Win7 -> Win10, and the Synaptics has been exchanged for PS/2 compatible driver from Microsoft, and works just fine As a last resort you might try the Synaptics driver from Lenovo as it seems to work under Windows 10

Please state your interest in the sheet. Quotes from PCBNet added to the sheet. Summary if interest less than 10 Circlotrons the set price is approx. 150USD. If close to 20, the price of each set is 80USD.

S_R+Nopants: Thanks, posting corrected.

GROUP BUY CLOSED 4. NOVEMBER 2015 For gauging interest. This GB is intended to be add-on to the MWL168 Carbon Group Buy for anyone interested in building a Circlotron. In addition to a full Carbon, two dual HV900 boards (circlotronhvpowerdualnewer2.ZIP) and two output & driver boards (kgsshvcarboncirclotrondriverv2.ZIP/kgsshvcarboncirclotron.ZIP) are needed. Currently investigating a quote form PCBNet for: circlotronhvpowerdualnewer2.ZIPkgsshvcarboncirclotron.ZIPkgsshvcarboncirclotrondriverv2.ZIPFurthermore FTCaps has been asked for delivery of the 470uF/550V caps required by the HV900 supply. The main difference between the 680uF/550V(76mm) cap and the 470uF/550V(68) is the height, making it easier to fit everything inside a 5U chassie. 16 of 470uF/550V are needed for the Circlotron HV900 supplies. Please state your interest in the sheet. Price of the 470uF Caps, will be close to the estimate of 680uf/550V @ 12USD. Estimated ship date from PCBNet rgrd the Circlotron boards 22 of september 2015 /Thanks Thanks to S_R/NoPants for contributing Boards has been shipped. Update: 470uF caps are comming 13/11 (according to FTCap). (17/10-2015)

We probably close the ordering in one-two weeks from now. An order has been made to secure our spot in the production queue, and Jay made it explicit that the order most likely would grow. So fell free to join in, or adjust the amount you want.

Spoke with the seller. He cannot provide AT1000 data for each tube as he doesn't have the equipment. He will however provide Avo 163 data on each tube.

Great news, and quite a relief it is, thanks a bunch Congo5

@nopants: yes

Update for the Caps Group Buy The Mundorfs are no longer offered. Minimun order is 144 pieces, and the amount of wanted Mundorfs as of today was way below that amount. Therefore the Mundorfs has been removed. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. I have checked the FTCap pinout against the Dual FAT, single FAT left/right, and the Gerbers seems just fine. As for using the FTCaps on PSU boards prior to the current Golden Reference (Dual FAT, Single FATs) these will NOT be compatible

Update on the Caps Group Buy. Jdineshk has wired transfered money to FTCaps to get a place in the production queue at FTCaps. I will be collecting payments from participants starting today. I like to now start collecting payments from all. Please send your payment to my PayPal account ([email protected]). Please transfer as PayPal Gift. The Groupbuy sheet has been updated: The column D contains the total price based on the amount of caps ordered and the FTCap price estimate; the price does not include any duty/tax/shipping which will be calculated when ever we have the caps. Please update Column E, when you have done the PayPal payment: "Done" (the sheet has data validation for that column). Please transfer the amount specified for your order, and put your Head-Case ID, and amount of caps in the note of your PayPal payment. Actual shipping charge will need to be determined based on the actual weight of your caps and your shipping address, and will be determined as soon as we have the caps. If you prefer not to use PayPal Gift, please include in your payment the applicable PayPal fee. This fee varies from country to country, you'll need to look it up at PayPal’s web site. JDineshk is taking care of distribution of caps in US. I take care of distributing non-US. If someone wants to have have combined shipping with Carbon Boards please state that in the Groupbuy sheet as well (column F); and I'll work something out with Michael mwl168. Please let me know if I missed something.

@B0bb: we probably order anyway ... please notice the Spritzer comment earlier in the thread ;-)

@Chiguy, please put your interest into the spreadsheet ....if you like it in addition to the Mundorf caps...please state both quoatities in column H, and I Thanks

@Gepardcv: according to the info I got 76mm is the height

@GepardCV: right now we are probing interest to see how many we need to order ....quantum of 80 ... I will swap my Mundorf for the FTCaps ...

@gepardcv: look again, column H, I in the sheet ....12USD/CAP 680uF/550V ....

@Insanity: you are welcome, just add yourself to the group buy sheet

@Spritzer: you might be right about that, I have had the same thought ... @Laowei: they should be 76mm height, Ø40mm
