Really nice boards Birgir. Are you using an reflow oven? I’m in the process of modifying a 9L toaster oven using a Controleo2 kit for my Dynalo mini boards .

I thinks that’s one of the better examples.

Split HV Boards as follows: The skinny boards kgsshvpssicfetsinglenewrightsws.zip kgsshvpssicfetsinglenewleftsws.zip The fat boards HV kgsshvpssicfetsinglenewrightfatsws.zip kgsshvpssicfetsinglenewleftfatsws.zip bui501 I have a stash of boards, every option fat, skinny dual... just pm me for a price.

The Carbon is purely an off-board build btw. The 2 power supplies; 1) The Golden Reference High Voltage (GRHV) these boards include bias and low voltage circuits. 2) The Golden Reference Low Voltage (GRLV) supplies. You need to chose between using the the supplied low voltage circuit included on the HV boards or use a GRLV. If you do use the low voltage circuit included on the HV boards you won't need the GRLV boards. I personally like the GRLV supplies and think they are worth it, YMMV. From here... the many gerber files are mainly sizing and split supply options, most of them will be a choice purely to suit your design requirements. Watchouts... Well I prefer stainless steel M3 socket screws for the cree and ixy devices, many builders here use peek screws, I haven’t had anything arc yet, just be diligent and ensure work is clean and solder joints are as smooth as possible. I completely flush the scrub boards with 99% isopropyl alcohol before powering up.

Very Sad

I’ve had yet another terrible experience with Cam-Expert, a relationship of years has come to a head after getting back a front panel for the second time that was very poor workmanship indeed, the brushing was coarse and rough, the rear side screw holes for the stax sockets were still slightly out of alignment again (I managed to fix this by making the holes slightly bigger on the sockets themselves). Anyway... I did a bit of experimenting, I removed the anodising via a caustic soda bath and wet sanded for a brushed polished look. I did this for all panels, the result isn’t bad and I prefer the shiny appearance to the duller clear anodised panels, but it does leave the panels vulnerable to fingerprints and scratches easily. Here’s a pic of the results...

Should be a great match for the 009s.

Happy Birthday!

Birgir, I generally agree, but as much as some companies are deceitful it takes an equally foolish person to make the purchase, particularly in regards to exotic expensive cables, you’d have to be pretty naive not to have known the controversies involved in todays marketplace.

Everbody knows the deal, unless they've been living under a rock for the last 20 years, I therefore have no qualms that cable makers are profiteering and exploiting.

Sorry for your loss. RIP Mauro.

Many thanks for the condolences!

Pongo our family dog of 10 years passed suddenly a couple of days ago. We will miss his class clown personality, the backyards just way too quite now. The photo was his last.

Calling Dan and his permanent shovel....

Maybe “useless” was a tad strong, the rest I’ll stand by. Welcome by the way, I’ll be in Tasmania next week on holidays!

I don’t have to listen to it to know it sucks. iSquirrel is useless, ignorant of even the slightest clue as to anything technical, his profile fits MSB marketing perfectly. “Quite frankly I don't care what's inside, only what it sounds like.” iSquirrel November 2016 Says it all.

Superb Michael.

I’d expect fireworks at this cost.

this is why the man cave was invented

What???

What you lack of wit you make up for with crude profanity - very tiring to say the least.

That’s gorgeous Soren. Very nice photography too.
