Lol, I've been watching the train wreck over there....

Lol, just posted this to the what am I eating thread....but much more appropriate here:

Hmmm, something is amiss with the ingredients:

I love my 700s.....especially listening to an early UK pressing of a CD I just picked up of one of my old favorites:

Did anything happen to the schematic repository? Links seem to be down.....

Crap, my OBECALP prescription just ran out.

On the boards with jfets, do I want to match GR, BL, or V?

And maybe flipped...emitter goes to 510R?....the label should change that I think.

Pots in parallel with the 510R have no label on the silkscreen. Is .5W big enough for the 47R heater ground resistors?

Oo, T2 on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAX-SRM-T2-SPS-T2-the-amplifier-T2-2-/301344346036?pt=UK_AudioVisualElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Headphones&hash=item462985cfb4

Truly exceptional. The live version of Halla Troll (track 10 on the Japan special edition) is really really good.

Put a sticker on the door:

Nice looking PS!

Balanced output is pretty nice, drives LCD-2.2 very well. I felt like YELLO:

Dooooooh, that's what I get for not reading the fine print on the chassis. Thanks! Ok, snipped the jumpers and re-cal'd the boards. Much better. -------- Been listening to this for a few hours now....definitely rocks. -------- Something about this amp I just like......

I've got another section of Canare L4E6S ordered so I can wire up a balanced cable. Single ended it sounds pretty good with LCD2, maybe seems a bit bright. I'll need to double blind with the KSA5 to see if it's just me. I'll take your advice and swap to balanced input at some point. Switch is from ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151028998690 Jumpers? I added two for the sense right at the unit....is there one that comes off? Voltage is a little low, 13.3 is what I'm getting out of it now. I'd be in for a 4deck 10K if the price is reasonable.

Got it up and running, this is a cool amp!

Nice ambient groove...

No, but I will now!

Boards are in from https://www.pcbnet.com/Quotes/introductory-offers Great company to work with, boards look nice, I hope to have it up and running this weekend :

With any luck, the boards should be in Monday. Here's the case work so far:
