Hi guys:
My rise to Pico de las Nieves, the hardest mountain pass in Europe. Puerto. I'm very pleased with myself.
2h15" total time. Kms 5 to 7 is the most hard, very, very hard, a slope of 19% without any pause . I've never climbed anything so hard. It´s awful.
Edit: I used a 12/30 ultegra and a 34/50 compat.
Right at the heel of kingofsnake, I got my GoldenReference HV Dual up and running an hour or so ago. I don't remember if anyone else has reported successful build of the GR HV Dual board from the GB. I have not hooked up the PSU with load but the initial testing looks good. This particular board is configured for +/- 400VDC output. I hand-measured and picked the resistors and I ended up getting +405.9VDC/-405.6VDC. Close enough.
It's been a long time coming and many thanks to sorenb and Jay for the caps GB to make this possible.
A word of safety caution; I am using 680uf pre and post regulation filter caps. Without load, 60 seconds after shutting down AC supply to the PSU, the positive rail still measured 262VDC. It took 163 seconds for it to go below 100VDC and 357 seconds to go below 1VDC. At that point, the bias still measured over 300VDC.
6061 is fine. Watch out you might not get perfectly straight or measured cuts. I would just order a bit shorter than the case depth to account for this.
Fried chicken here too (plus a side of bacon Mac n cheese)... Best "wings" I've had in a long time. Should have ordered the wings instead of the strips though... I always make this mistake.
Really fun little amp. I'm looking forward to getting to A/B it with an original Crack/Speedball.
It is amazing how different it sounds from the SuSy Dynalo. If I had to pick one, it'd be the Dynalo, but I don't and won't. It is a fantastic change of pace amp and makes super relaxing pairing with the HD650s.
