nopants Posted December 24, 2016 Report Posted December 24, 2016 good spot to use the 4ch tkd's everyone grabbed
Arthrimus Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 I wonder, would it be possible/practical to split the Blue Hawaii power supply in the same way that the GRHV power supply is split? I only ask because the split configuration provides so much flexibility, and the BH power supply is so much more affordable than the GRHV for projects like this and the SRX+.
spritzer Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 The BH PSU is two PSU's tied together at the output to create a bipolar supply so this wouldn't be a problem.
UFN Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Kevin has already posted a single-rail BH PSU layout in case you haven't seen it: BH-PS-SingleRail-v4.zip //UFN
kevin gilmore Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Posted January 11, 2017 i don't even remember that one, will have to look later
UFN Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Looking at it again and I think it's one that Kerry has done - naming convention is different from yours at least //UFN
kevin gilmore Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) yep, i don't have the source file here, which i would normally have, will look at home. definitely kerry's layout. found the original email Edited January 11, 2017 by kevin gilmore
Pars Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 10k input resistor to ground, or relatively low impedance pot required, will up date board in a bit.Just curious Kevin, but have you looked at putting the pot either midstage or at the output on your designs? I realize this is probably no-go on electrostats, but on the dynamic amps might loosen 10k only problems? I know Pass does this some, but requires even lower values (2k on Pass Aleph P pre for example). The guy doing the Neurochome HP-1 also seems to advocate this.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kevin gilmore Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Posted January 11, 2017 seems linear systems is now shipping matched p-channel duals that match the lsk689 so jfet front ends may be possible again. could do a pot in the middle for current mirror types of front ends. problem is you need reverse taper pots.

I assume you are referring lsk389? And matched p-channel means 2sj74 pair would work if I could find some real ones? 1
Pars Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I think it is the LSJ489/LSK689 that are the matched pairs. For a reverse taper pot, can't you just connect a regular log pot backwards (In to the pin normally grounded, ground the pin that is normally the in pin)? Or am I mistaken?

LSK489 and LSJ689 are the n-channel and p-channel FET duals respectively. Reverse taper wired as you described would work with linear taper pots. Not log.

sbelyo Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 added this board and the BH Ultramini Version 4 to the latest group buy https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z1L3MQuuY4ZTUyPQb1qBmVJp8MtC7qEzBUui3z5dFrQ/edit?usp=sharing

Best $50 I have spent in a long long time (had a few parts already). Having listened for a few hours now, Will describe the sound. Fuck me. You wouldn't happen to have worked up a BOM for either of the BH ultramini or the CFA boards would you? If not, I can get started on doing them, but will need some guidance on voltage/wattage ratings on the passive components.
congo5 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 no on the CFA but its simple / not a lot of parts, used xicon 1/2W resistors, or RN60D but have this on BHultramini its years old and think the trim pot is wrong, should be a pv36Y I think. see if the three pins are staggered or in a row on yours http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=108619691e check it against the, board some of it will help
MrSlim Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Awesome, that will do the trick I'm sure. Thanks!

I added some parts to mouser project you still need to pick resistors, terminal blocks, transistor mounting hardware and maybe change the big caps Mouser has some new 600v ones for the prereg side they are higher voltage than necessary for 400v supply's also you can look over the KGSSHV BOM for ideas as many parts are similar http://tee8tee4388.blogspot.com/2013/07/kgsshv-amplifier.html 1
nopants Posted May 21, 2017 Report Posted May 21, 2017 are you still using the amplifier alongside your other units? still like it? my only concern is the rolloff near the top but at this price point i'm not sure it's a huge deal.
congo5 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Posted May 21, 2017 Yes still like it, its different, darker but fun last week > Megatron, BH and it there may be some tweaks to the circuit that could be found but not if no one builds it Please try it before building it a home in a multi thousand dollar enclosure 1
MrSlim Posted May 21, 2017 Report Posted May 21, 2017 I'm planning on building the CFA to dip my toe in the electrostatic pool so a "multi dollar" enclosure is likely going to be my target..

Still interested in the direction you would take the board design. and any changes or updates you might make. I'm fine with through hole parts as the footprint is already small, but an ultra tiny amp would be Neat! I used mine yesterday to power some DIY stats for testing, and although a simple plates are enough sink for testing its too hot for long term when jammed in a case. So ordered some .7 C/W heat sinks for each channel.
spritzer Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 The boards have been here for a while now but there just aren't any parts available so I can't test it. I'll have to dig it out and take a picture but basically, it's a stereo board, all through hole and it is pretty small.
congo5 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Posted October 17, 2017 Amazing how many parts are out of stock for this? So in order to use this on a tight shelf I bought some 4x10" heat sinks and modified the case to use them Only 60 holes to drill and tap. now moar better. 7
