seems worth what they are asking...

not as pretty as Spritzer's. You loose. Does anyone mod these DACs? Seems like it would be an interesting experiment (for someone, not me)...

that's some primo stuff man...

the original SR-007

congrats man!

this project has so much "fail" potential, given the "questions" asked... just use rechargeable batteries and be done with it.

try the cheapest spades that Kimber Kable makes, as Vandersteen speakers historically have the same issues and I've found that these fit very nicely into the narrow barrier strips.

look who's here howdy!

hey, can you use the mylar tape with that platter if you ride it up above the string grooves?

yes, if by extreme you mean fire and smoke.

1 part BBQ sauce, 1 part grape jelly. Simmer and stir on the stove, serve warm.

and doesn't use magic eye tubes...

I couldn't build that for $800...

well, since my amp would provide no voltage gain, absurdity is merited. Aleph doesn't have enough voltage gain (I'll go hunt for what I need) edit: according to Papa: "...which is about 16-20 dB (gain) and +/-20V (swing) per input leg" the amp can handle a +/-40V unclipped output in balanced mono (as it's called in the docs)

just curious, are there any significant changes / improvements to the design? I have a set of boards and all the required parts, including transformer. I was sorta thinking about it as a preamp, but I would like to know its max voltage output, as I would use it into a Pass F4 current buffer and need lots of voltage swing.

yeah, I learned this the hard way.... me <- stupid First, why the hell did I even want to use ERS paper? and second, why did I stick it the bottom of a PCB? I have to say this ranks right up there with some of the stupidest things I've ever done.

B&D has 8 2sk389 in stock right now, I'd buy them if I were you.

ERS paper over the fets. Try to cover both the heatsink and the tab of the fet for maximum benefit.

I like SUCKITALO better.

I owned one of those ages ago. I'll be interested to see what you think

USPS Global Priority Flat Rate box

any good reason that Mikhail would parallel two 0.1uF caps from the ground of the heater CRC filter to the star ground of the rest of the circuit? I suppose he could charge for "upgrades" to these caps.... so very strange.

I've found that the mosfet as a pass device doesn't sound as good with the KGSS. I'm guessing it's due to the behavior of a vertical mosfet (BUZ90, IRFBC30, etc.) under (relatively) low current conditions. Does anyone have an opinion on this? There has been some stuff written on this, but obviously not in terms of audio...
