Well, Dream Theater seems to me more focused on their instrumental skills than on the music itself. I feel the same when I listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani... I hope no one takes this badly but IMO they are great "instrumentalists" (I'm not sure if this word exists in English) but they seem very "poor" musicians.

I use an arduino controlling an SS relay on the primary of HV transformer. You can also use a circuit similar to T2 (with a LM555). It's very easy to do.

I also used a GRHV "standard" without delay and AC for the heating filaments. I decided to use 450Vdc for all since at the time Kevin commented that the high voltage was better for the BH / GG. You can replace the part of the LM7X15 with a GRLV but I do not know to what extent you will notice differences. IMO, the most important you have to keep in mind is the voltage with which you want to feed those amplifiers 400 or 450Vdc and the consumption to modify the value of the resistance of 5.1R That always happens to me.

I forget to hang some photos of this amplifier. Sorry, I did not have any GRLV at that time ready.

Wow!!!!

A fellow of my cycling team lent me a couple of CDs of Katatonia and similar groups. He usually listens to them while he trains at home. I still have to listen to them but this weekend I'll be up to date.

EMO the best Amos Lee LP

It is interesting to find a group of this style without "extreme" voices. I need to hear it a little more. I expect a voice from a demon in each riff, Habit?

I read it as a teenager. Doing closet cleaning I rediscovered my collection of Moorcock books and comics.

I found this LP at an used record store here in my city. The Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed"

I am listening this right now. Good discovery!

Sorry for this off topic. Sincerely I regret that the UK leaves the EU. Boris Johnson is a politician, unfortunately that means he is a bastard and a liar. In Spain We have many of their kind. I hope you don´t feel bad about my opinion please.

What is happening in the UK is disconcerting. Maybe it's not the right place to ask but, Do you think there will be another referéndum about the permanence of the UK in the EU?

I've been slow to get it but finally I have it at home.

Very interesting. I have added it to my playlist. Tomorrow when I'm more rested I'll listen well

After 7 hours on bike with a lot of rain, I just wanted to get home, have a hot shower and listen to this while resting: Brad Mehldau

Eluveitie "Ategnatos"

Laowei, sorry I didn´t mean "fair" in an offensive sense. It has nothing to do with experience. I didn´t pretend to be pedantic or presumptuous. I was referring that both amplifiers were designed with different things so, for me, it´s not correct to compare them.

130K ... nice paperweight. ?

Happy Birthday!

I think you're not being "fair". I means: My favorite amplifiers are the BH/GG but comparing them with the CFAe is like comparing apples with oranges. I always try to make a comparison with something that has a certain similarity (in this case, solid state amps, not hybrids) so I think of the Carbon more than the BH / GG. Finally, I think that this amplifier is new and it has had less "development time" than other designs by Kevin, (although Joachin has done an excellent job with his modifications) I don´t know exactly why . Perhaps it is not very showy ot too exotic... I hope not to offend anyone.
