It's probably not going anywhere. Various iterations were either unstable or too noisy.
Circuit boards for the Raal experiment (code named "Bridgeport") have been ordered. I should know more about that in a few weeks.
Also, there is some thought to doing a very small run of a 10 year anniversary version of the L2. The basic circuit would remain the same, but there are a few changes that should serve as an upgrade to the original.
🥰to all of this.
Ryan, I'm going to let Antonio play with the L2 for awhile, then I'll reach out to you. If you're still making unwuse financial decisions by that time, I can't stop you.
Wow, that's extremely generous, thank you! Indefinitely is way too long but if you're willing to loan it to me for some weeks I'll be extremely glad to pay shipping and other expenses both ways. I'm unsure what's the taxes and import fees between Moldova and EU countries.
I don't have a means to test the IXYS transistors I got from Mouser. The Jan 2021 ones I got from Mouser are lot TS1811 S23728.
If y'all got a 500V with IXYS and offset voltage problems, perhaps you have these problematic transistors as well. The amp works and all. It just doesn't sound or measure like what it's supposed to.
Edit: on closer inspection, it seems the parts I bought in June 2020 and Jan 2021 are the same lot number.
Controversy stemming from ASR and Reddit...always a fun read 😄
