a complete wood set of male and female connectors. Going to sound SO much better... The people over there would eat it up. Say $1500 for a pair of connectors. Then upgrade to pure silver pins (doing the same to the tulip females is going to be a bear)

sure you can. but not at room temperature I have 2 x cryoprobes that run at 25K. 40 to 60db of gain noise figure less than .3db

I should never have told birgir what I was planning on doing to a large chunk of .999 silver and forget about the amplifier, show me any measurement system (audio precision, etc) that can actually measure -170db levels, it does not exist. and an amplifier with 60db of gain has to have at a minimum a specific amount of Johnson noise which is at least 50db above those levels, and that's being kind.

actually a very hard hardwood like ebony, or blackwood, maybe rosewood, that kind of thing would work just fine and have low capacitance and high breakdown voltages. (goes off to find suitable piece of wood to stick into the mill using existing program)

maybe time to do a full power regenerator circuit.

Are the reference chips 10v ? looks like they may be 5v

beryllium dust is also massively toxic. i have a 6 inch cube of the stuff i was going to make a knob out of, and was told in no uncertain terms that i could not use my favorite equipment to do that.

you cannot use a center tapped transformer with the kgbh power supply, you need 2 seperate high voltage windings

That is ok

putting it in a metal box won't hurt the transformer. unless you use a metal post that goes thru the center of the transformer (torroids or racetrack transformers) in which case there is one very low impedance single turn short.

so what will happen when astroboy decides he has to have a BH with the emission labs tubes, or even much more expensive a T2 with emission lab tubes. There is no reason to defend my amplifiers. For people with a brain, they defend themselves quite well.

only if you deliberately short out the 5M resistor on the power supply bias board...

i thought canada was about to become the 51st state

he is just the idiot of the month. trouble is that he has been an idiot for more than a month.

What part numbers are on q17 and q18 should be something like this to hard to read the real values, so all the R# and values are clearly wrong. dualtube.PDF

The green wires are in the wrong place, and the 200 ohm resistors should be replaced by 100 ohms

lt1021 should be 10v

this is why testing the resistors is easier than figuring out why it does not work later.

because then you still need 2 of them and then a dual xlr to single 4 pin adapter Mikhail did this stupid shit on that monster I have.

srx6rev2 board file posted with the latest fixes, someone please check

new amp board srx6rev2 with all of the latest additions can use -20v supply, or add resistor and zener and run off the -340v supply board is exactly the same size with all the mounting holes in the same places, 8 more holes added, should not influence the price

are you leaving the transistors on the mini boards, or are going to unsolder and use later.

that gets expensive, but sure.
