After several redesigns during construction I ended up with a multi-use storage cart. Need to finish it off with some French cleats on each side and decide if I Arm-R-Seal it or just use Shellac like the MDF top. Decided it needed more bling so added some Zebrawood holders and Woodpecker stuffs.

A little bit of playing with some options/config on the bias supply and we got it down to 40mA draw on the batteries Might be able to do a bit better still. All in draw now is 260mA. We have some ideas on how to maybe bring this down a bit more.

so the idea is a 10 hour runtime. so a 3 cell lipo battery with 2.8 amp hour batteries is the target. if it has to be a bit bigger then it has to be a bit bigger. the amplifiers are 200 microamps output stage bias with 1.5ma current limit. Could certainly bump up the current limit a bit. the benefit of kerrys power supplies is that they are extremely small, max component height is .3 inch. if we change to a transformer based supply then the transformer is .8 inch. if we use the hvm supply for the bias it is .5 inch high. Smaller is better! For a given chassis size more room for the battery is a good thing. The final product will likely be a single circuit board with the power suppies on one side and the amplifiers on the other. The components with the largest height will be the stax jack and the volume pot.

Last night's show is up:

I've tried every shortcut to making bb drawers, from pocket holes to dominos to biscuits. In the end, I found that an actual joint was both faster and more accurate than any of them. And more satisfying. And probably stronger.

Indie folk about a rough breakup in the middle of a pandemic. If you're in that kind of mood.

Thanks for image. Indeed very creative built. No need for fancy cabinet I’d say, unless you have children or cats. Maybe an IR module with the motorized potentiometer for remote convenience.
