Yum. I wish I had some for this long weekend in Tahoe, assuming we can actually make it up there.1 point

If you prefer to try something that’s simple to build you can also consider Kevin’s current feedback amp. Simple power supply requirement, low parts count and all current parts you can source from Mouser or Digikey.1 point

A1. The KGSSHV uses some out-of-production transistors. While you can still buy them, fakes can be a problem, and reputable suppliers (like bdent) charge a premium. The Carbon is essentially a strict upgrade from the KGSSHV, with (I believe) all current production parts. The major advantage of the KGSSHV over the Carbon is the availability of versions with on-board heatsinks, which simplifies the metalworking considerably. You might consider building a KGST instead. It’s a great amp, and aside from matching 6S4A tubes, I found it generally pretty easy to make. Also consider the SRX Plus (though I haven’t made one of those yet). Search here for threads discussing these builds. A2. Only you can decide that. It pays to try before you buy. A3. The Carbon and Megatron are no more dangerous to build than any other device operating at comparable voltages.1 point

Sitting at LAX myself. Should I be looking for random sword fights down the corridors?1 point

Just dropped Mary and Lance off at LAX for their flight to Denver where Lance will have three intense days of competition. I had to buy two new Epee weapons because his coach said the current ones he has are crappy beginner level ones. The foil weapons are fine but ouch!1 point

Kevin retired from Northwestern a year or so ago, so none of those links are active anymore. Files are available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7egryukiT7_TFlEQlBRejdVdDQ Board files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_iJFfZStuVhSE5nOHBVdTByR1k Normally, the stax mafia circuit board thread, which is a sticky here, is where you find this stuff.1 point
