I feel warm inside watching that

Got to be honest, video makes me feel a certain kind of way.

No, it's supposed to be an Amplifier for electrostatic headphones, such as Stax.

We got an unexpected 3” overnight (that’s what she said) on top of the 4” earlier this week. First white Xmas in a good long time.

Happy birthday!

Happy belated Birthday!

Thank you everyone. Had a nice one with my wife in our summer(winter)cottage. Now I’m preparing for Boxing Day +6. Birthday of both our children and one grandchild. Happy New Year everyone!

Maybe more like a power up-Carbon ; same design but with higher PSU voltage and new current sources, using current production sicfets.

I think there's no resistor to limit the current so it blows up.

Low precision writing on my part. No LEDs directly in CS circuit itself, but on the boards I have, two LEDs sit across the incoming CS power rail, so they see 15V.

its a new carbon? "kgsshv-carbon board with the 3rd generation sicfets as both current source and gain stages. +/-400 to +/-600 - probably limit to +/-550" (c)

Happy Birthday!

new board in the stax mafia google drive has the orientation of the ttc004b fixed. edit: current limiting on CS LED???

It won't last long but it is nice. Boxing day dusting.

Test build of Super-Carbon up and running to see what is what: PSU angle brackets are recycled from a previous, very tight, build, where those cutouts made perfect sense . Two small issues worth mentioning on amp boards. First, TTC004b and PZTA42 have opposite pinouts (ECB vs BCE) so if using TTC004b, transistor front needs to face heat sink. Second, you need to add some current limiting on the CS LEDs if you intend to use them. Running at +/-550V. No listening yet; need to build a more permanent CS supply solution first and also tidy up in general.

Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday :3

I feel the same way. Pacing is glacial.

Belated Happy Birthday, hope it was great!

I binged it in a couple of days. Some things are aesthetically Gilligan but overall I found it slow. Like the whole season could have fit a couple of episodes.
