  1. direct sunlight is definitely a bad thing
  2. 8.7 sp1 as of 1 month ago, but a lot of the stuff should be 8.4 or earlier try a standard gerber viewer. there should be no configuration or setup issues
  3. All the newer gerber x2 stuff most likely. Can't make older gerber files with the new software
  4. I have always wanted a revox a700, but have absolutely no use for it. All it would be is a time sink to keep it working.
  5. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/reich/ct-ent-willie-pickens-dead-1214-story.html
  6. to save space I sometimes do vertical resistors. but everything else is wrong with that amp.
  7. no servo so blackgate output caps on a solid state amplifier taking 1/3 of the board space. yep, great idea
  8. here is why you probably don't want one unless its dirt cheap. you will need to add heatsinks, not easy, and fix all the acetate failure
  9. the singlepower squarewave definitely does not like low impedance loads (50 ohms) making it balanced causes even more trouble. very few of the balanced versions were built, and they are balanced out only when balanced in, and depending on the power brick, they burn up real easy.
  10. definitely not.
  11. what transistors are you using?
  12. even the ksa992/ksc1845, one of them is on backorder till February and i'm going to need them.
  13. Mmbt are surface mount so no you have to check the pin outs for the rest
  14. ss dynalo already has the pot, just don't populate the opamps
  15. this one http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/RE52/RE5.2EN.htm around 2013 time frame. very nice sounding piece, but no dsd
  16. pin 5 on the opamp is not a NC, so if you want to do this and put a jumper from pin 4 to pin 5 on the back of the board cut off pin 5 of the opamp, or bend out of the way. the best servo of course is no servo at all as long as everything is stable with temperature
  17. better idea would be to use the servo from the kgsshv-carbon but does not compensate for the tube drifting section to section
  18. so pars posted this. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/group-buys/315474-pure-tube-es9038pro-9028-9018-akm.html#post5259820 all sorts of wrong. lets start with the fact that current output D/A converters really like driving a zero impedance. 27 ohms is not a zero impedance. So with +/-1.2ma you get +/-32mv and then you use the tube to amplify the crap out of it. Nope, definitely not the way to do this. All sorts of noise etc... a while back there was bakoon and audio-gd pointing fingers at each other as to who designed satri and when. so here is the satri version 4 circuit satriic.PDF and here is how audio-gd turns it into both the I/v converter and acss current output and voltage output (one at a time, not both) audiogdiv2.PDF performs better than anything else I have seen ideas in progress as work on the ultimate dsd/r2r dac
  19. servo attaches directly to the plate of the tube. similar to T2. no way to make less complex.
  20. you should buy the right thing from a company that sells linear systems parts
  21. current mirror flips the polarity, so you have to flip the polarity on the opamp. the difference between the 2 servo's is something like 1mv at 7 volts peak to peak output. so very little difference.
  22. no that is not correct. here is the schematic, and I hope the board matches it cfa2cmirror.PDF
  23. grlvplus and grlvminus are the singles split off the original board
  24. trying to build a ssdynahi on the cheap, probably not a good idea.
