headinclouds Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Very beautiful build Geoff. Eye catching aesthetics. Polished and modern look. I know it sounds great, asI have your boards. That heat sink is giving me ideas... Thanks for making your PCBs available to all. The KGST is spoiling me. Thank you - I am pleased with it but I received help on the aesthetics, and the pcbs are not mine but Birgir and KG. This hobby owes them a massive debt. Edited January 15, 2015 by headinclouds Quote
Laowei Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Well then you are a modestly grand chef, cooking with only the finest ingredients. Not to deminish in any way the debt owed to Birgir and Kevin. I would never had ventured into Staxland if not for the generosity of their work. Edited January 3, 2015 by Laowei Quote
headinclouds Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Yes that's it! Happy New Year Quote
spritzer Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 I really like that one. I have something very special on the backburner for the "ultimate" KGST and I need to move it ahead in the row of priorities. Today the first GES Mk2 is taking shape with the new PCB's. Roughly half the size of the Woo Mk1 unit and it's fully balanced, with a better PSU and far less distortion... Quote
GeorgeP Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 ... Ring illuminated mains switch by me. .... You made your own switch? How did you do about doing that? Quote
gepardcv Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Looks great! What PSU did you use? Is there any sign of the heatsink fins raising the temperature of the PSU or transformer? Quote
Pars Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 My own design; 3mm anodised aluminium alloy panels, thick machined FP. Knob turned by me, Ring illuminated mains switch by me. My original design was a little more ordinary, the style was the input of Julian Hoyes of incredibledesign.co.uk Nice build! You made your own switch? How did you do about doing that? I'm not sure he meant he made the switch himself. Don't be a dick. Quote
johnwmclean Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Really nice build, great details. Quote
Kerry Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Nice design Geoff. It really looks beautiful Quote
JoaMat Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 A nice build indeed. Like the vent holes pattern. Quote
headinclouds Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Looks great! What PSU did you use? Is there any sign of the heatsink fins raising the temperature of the PSU or transformer? The board set is as the pcb GB. The overall amount of heat is the same, it is more easily dissipated. On the mains switch; the RIMS was to get away from the separate little LED for a change, but still keep the advantage of a large, easily operated pushbutton. And thank you for your kind comments.

insanity Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 very nice indeed. can we see some more pics of the inside? Quote
Ali-Pacha Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Great build. Looks nothing like diy. Ali Quote
kevin gilmore Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Posted January 4, 2015 very sweet now you need a 2 color power switch warming is one color, on is a different color (from joamat's T2 boards) Quote
RudeWolf Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 very sweet now you need a 2 color power switch warming is one color, on is a different color (from joamat's T2 boards) Just build in a small bell from a microwave that does the "ping" sound whenever the T2 is ready to go. 1 Quote
kevin gilmore Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Posted January 4, 2015 you do realize that giving me idea's like this is only going to cause trouble Quote

guzziguy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 For a one light solution, what about flashing the light while warming up and then solid light to show powered on and ready? Quote

nopants Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 what have you been tweaking between your versions? Quote
Augsburger Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 what have you been tweaking between your versions? That's what my mother used to ask me when I would stay too long in my room with the door closed. Quote
