I feel the ginatricot bag is part of minimizing nasty conflicts...

this is the case i used: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/143-40-4-180mm-WxH-D-aluminium-elektronik-pcb-geh-use-6063-extrusion-fall/32857644347.html?aff_platform=api&cpt=1549182007927&sk=ZVxRRvI&aff_trace_key=807df99551d348b39035d168c5f73204-1549182007927-05033-ZVxRRvI&terminal_id=1183572cd19e4eb0be580194ccaeaa77 the pcb slides in the grooves (some tap around the edge for isolation). but you need make some place for the top cinch connector (grind the topcase a bit with a dremel or similar tool, shorten the silver latch). then do the same thing for the two caps underneat he pcb, they need 2 mm more space on the side of the pcb. now you can slide in the pcb from the top (not sliding the pcb in) in the groove opposite the caps underneat, push down and the pcb holds in place. for the topcase to fit you need to grind down the ac socket a bit, easy done with a dremel. due the case is a tad longer then the pcb i printed two case holder plates that hold the pcb in place, so you can also use the orginal alluminum plates, sadly the topplate is realy thick and i was to lazy and printed the two top plates also. i attache the freecad files and stl files so everyone can use them (missing are the holes for the pot/4.4mm plug and vents if you need them, easy to add). the case is thight but works fine with some work and patience, take care of the heat, venting is not easy for this case. smd_dynalo_roundcase_front_back_v2.zip

Service? Repair? What's that? They probably just toss it in the garbage and send out a new one.

my two smd amps with bivar leds running at 20 volts and led vf 1.71 volt, i also would go down a tad with the bias to around 15ma. second one (the one in your list) with 16.5 ma / 81c max after 2 hours - ok but on the edge. so i would use next time r14/29 around 210 ohm for bivar leds and 402 ohm r1/r3. this is my second one, a lot of holes top and bottom, printed front and rear, whitout potentiometer, additional 4.4mm output. i use this one for travel together with a dap: my first amp only with small heatsink in the group buy case (with r14/29 240 ohm) was around 100c max and even discolored the pcb a bit. more holes (best over 4mm diameter) and a heatsink lowered the temp to around 80c. if they get hot the bias rise quite fast even when the start bias is relative ok or low. but i love them, like the sound better then my big dynalo, i now use on both from trendsetter - linear integrated systems matched lsk489 lsj689 jfets.

It certainly looks nice!

Thanks folks. No matching. I use our kitchen table as workbench and to avoid some nasty conflicts with wife….

Apparently adding a second Apple Watch makes notifications fail on both, so I'm having to slum it.

My full size SS Dynalo (thru hole MPSW parts) runs fairly warm at 17-19mA bias, but nothing like mini warm. I haven't cased it yet (this winter), so I'll see what it is like when cased. Here is the link to the spreadsheet I created for tracking what users are using for bias and what kind of heat they are seeing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D5LDuRdupZRoWR-GfAd03fkFSBAMY4-E_VcYfCAI1Z0/edit?usp=sharing I don't know if HC allows sigs or not, as I thought if they did I would put the link there so it didn't keep getting buried.

Modushop heat sink 300 mm X 80 mm and Modushop Galaxy Maggiorato front and back panels. I buy them as spare parts. Brackets and aluminium plates for top and bottom I get from a local shop. I've drilled and tapped M4 holes at both ends of heat sinks to fasten the panels. Below is a board attached to 200 mm X 80 mm heat sink - temperature stabilazed at about 50 degrees Celsius. With 300 mm heat sink temperature stabilized at 42 degees. Current stabilized at 20 mA with resistors as silk screen.

A neighbor searched for “Best Chocolate dessert ever” and settled for the NYT Molten chocolate cake recipe as a late birthday treat. Works for me. May have to try myself ... https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014719-molten-chocolate-cake Edit:

Perhaps they could farm out the servicing to Cavalli........... I hear they have lotsa experience in that department.........

They literally sold out all their stealths within the past 24 hours

You say that like they ever intended to?
