headinclouds Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share 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.

Laowei Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share 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.

spritzer Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeP Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 ... Ring illuminated mains switch by me. .... You made your own switch? How did you do about doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gepardcv Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headinclouds Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share 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.

kevin gilmore Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeWolf Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
