No discredit towards Lil Knight, but this BOM thanks to ujamerstand is my preference.

Happy Birthday Deepak!

From my understanding a fried LT1021 was replaced, the positive rail then functioned correctly, the defective LT1021 did not damage any other parts. The negative rail shorted from an arc between the metal case of a cap and trace. I’m sure this is the second time I’ve seen the LT1021 give a builder good headache. Congrats on psu jwzhan!

Cheers Deepak!

Victor, I’m undecided, I will most likely modify the existing amp.

Richard has worked out a spec for a new build I'm toying with. Based on running ~10mA for the fourth stage the secondaries have been increased to handle 250mA @ continuous. The core is essentially the same size as the 100VA model with increased gauge for extra current handling, plus added insulation to help with surge.

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys. I'm having a good day, quite dinner with the family tonight, which is a sure sign of getting older.

Yes that’s completely wrong, slaps head, it’s 130VA for the two 450V windings, apologies.

I’ve had the top plate of contemplating... to be frank I’m kinda worried about pulling the whole thing apart and risk fucking up a good functioning amp. I was planning around 10mA as well, my PSU is ~450V with a SumR 500VA transformer, amps are running A1968’s. One thing would make the job a lot easier is paralleling over 180 ohm resistors, would this be a problem Kevin or Spritzer?

Nice to see another HV up and going, looks a great build, congrats.

45 left, I had the screen on confirm payment for the remaining 9 lots for a while.

Thanks Dusty, this is huge, I don’t know how I’ve missed this huge chuck of music. Working my way down your list now, enjoying. “Death Folk” works for me too.

I’m a Swans newbie void any preconceptions from their past music history, “The Seer” is my first exposure, as a free standing album I enjoyed it’s creativity, I now look forward to delving into their previous albums.

Dusty you will not be disappointed.
