Well its not like the stax mafia aren't busy and we certainly are not going to do an output stage with 8ma of current, and therefore no reason for a 4 stage amp, and since tube inputs seem to be the big thing lately, well might as well take the kgsshv-carbon design and replace the input fet with an input triode. bonus, no low voltage supplies. not a bonus, ksa1156 and ksc5026 run at close to 1 watt each. I should have a real t8000 end of june, but this should keep some of you busy. I expect joamat to have one built in less than 24 hours. no, no circuit board yet about 70 volts on the plate of the tube, same as t2. optical servo from kgsshv-carbon will work fine (but then you need the low voltage supplies) kgsshvcarbontubeinput.PDF

So much herring and akavit.

Looks awesome, Jeff. I had mackerel for dinner.

You need a bigger house, hell I need a much bigger house

In spite of the fact of a crippling back injury and, ahem, that there are two cruisers with their blinkenlights on at the end of the driveway, Test Tone @ Home live right now: http://mixlr.com/illuminator/chat

No, I have never listened to Justin's BHSE. I know it looks a lot better than mine

No, I haven’t. I guess it’s some sort of EMI. One question is how to stop it and another is how it effects the quality of the amplifier. Now I’m most interested in if the DC/DC converter can be used at all. One T2 is modified with DC/DC converters and it seems to work alright. The idea with DC/DC converter is IMO absolutely worth being tested.

I have a feeling that even if we turn into a post-apocalyptic society, you'd probably find a way to DJ Test Tone on pirate Internet. pInternet...no, wait, faux-nternet...Iinternet.

Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday?

Happy Birthday!

Hope you had a great Birthday!

I still chug alcoholic beverages when it's called for, whether it be good whiskey or Fireball or Bud Light Just not as often anymore. My motto these days is don't be a douche, and that includes beer and whiskey.

I want the output current source to be c4686 with DC/DC converter.

Happy Birthday Justin!

Happy birthday!

Yes, I need to buy a bigger house... and a nuclear power plant too.

Happy Birthday!

It's been a long while since we did the simplified and improved T2 but it won't sound like the real deal. Better yes, but not the same.

Pork two ways - loin and chop.

Beautiful piece of work, Kerry In the recent months I've been slowly working on my T2, ended up rebuilding the entire amp board with mostly new parts. Just in the off chance that it was something in the board itself which caused the noise I was hearing. Thankfully nothing blew up, the batteries adjusted to 741V, and it plays music. I could still hear a background noise in it though. Having listened to George's T2 as well I was all but convinced this is just the normal noise level for this amp. I asked JoaMat about his solid state inputs for the T2, and he was kind enough to send them to me to test out (thanks!). Amazingly enough they worked. The amp is still not utterly dead silent, but it's to the point where it's below the background noise level of my room (which is as close to silent as I can make it). I've also ordered some heatsinks for the 2SC3840s so I wouldn't have to worry about them getting too hot. With either input set though, I've been having some sporadic noise on the right channel. Sometimes it's a random noticeable "pfff", sometimes it gets stuck noticeably louder. The latter is usually solved by unplugging/replugging in the headphones. Very strange. Aside from an overlooked loose connection or a bad solder joint somewhere I'm not sure what it could be. Anyway please excuse my blurry photos.

Wrong Justin. Sorry for the mix-up.

Happy Birthday Justin!

Keep them coming. I'll buy a bigger house.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Justin !

Gee, and that took less than the 3 years of development time that Stax says they used for the T8000. Now the next step is to change to GG EL-34 outputs, and you'll have a modernized, simplified T2.

Happy Birthday, Justin!

Happy Birthday Justin! Enjoy the day

Watched it a few months back. I was pretty young when the debates happened, but I remember the hub bub. Mostly I remember my Dad using the word "faggot", and feeling very awkward and hurt, but of course I just did what most gay boys did back then, and receded inward. Watching them recently was a whole new experience. Much more prideful. Spending time with my Oldest Brother recently, and laughing at gay things, with absolutely no malice, reinforces how far we've all come. Gore was a first role model for me, as even my Dad respected his insight and wit. Dad did come around eventually. The City and the Pillar was the first gay novel I ever read, and that started a change inside me that started the revelation that I was not alone.

Way back in December I set the UK police system on the trail of this scam merchant, who was targetting US and other nationality buyers for high ticket audio items, getting the money, and sending no goods. He seemed to have been operating for years. Anyhow, I have just had a call from West Mercia Police asking me to confirm what my recollection was of his modus operandum. We chatted for a while, and I wished her good luck in finding the guy. "Oh - we know precisely who he is" So the system works - they have the bastard!

Brisket and ribs. Tasty, but I'm sure the Fairy could do better.

Had a great time! Nice to finally meet Collin. Justin and Brent were awesome as always. Doug's T5 was excellent and on the same level as my L3. I had no time to listen to Mr. Speaker Ether Stats. We went to Brazilian steakhouse yet again. Matt missed out on a great meal unfortunately.

I've got to hand it to the little man. He loses his sister, gets his tooth knocked out, then comes out and puts 53 on the Wiz in an overtime win. Pretty damn impressive. Oh, and he was the last pick in the draft and is the shortest guy in the NBA.
