The Headcase Stax thread
[beavis & butthead mode on] quote "maybe I need to discharge myself" tee hee I've had a very bad day, could not resist. where is steve when you need him.

balanced headphone protector
I would make sure the comparitors are working as expected. .1hz sine wave makes it easy

The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!
great way to do this, however some heatshrink over the green things to avoid touching the terminals which are at -500v

Group Buy - Digital Attenuator (Kevin Gilmore)
here is Kerry's code http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/oled_mhz15.zip this supports the original relay board, and the prototype new board, still some software change for the 4 reversed relays for the production board

and now for something completely different part 3
About 400ma DC, peaks up to 600+ma depending on headphones

stax mafia circuit boards see updated links on page 5
It won't. Name should resolve to the right place. this is all about massive amounts of hacking including spoofing, mainly from sites in mainland China. they never get into any of my machines, but they try so hard they are using up to 25% of our bandwidth doing nothing.

at some point in the next couple of weeks, my server will be put behind a massive firewall. At which point the ip address will change and the dns will change. So it may appear to be down for up to a day.

SRX-Plus Build Thread
my bad on the mislabeling. Hey... people are supposed to check this stuff. updated board file in a minute.

SRX-Plus Build Thread
soren noticed that the 2 inside heatsinks were not grounded. I don't think it makes any difference, but updated the board file to ground those heatsinks

Small amplifier for Stax
Nope, chokes are too big. current regulated supply far superior.

Small amplifier for Stax
Let's not forget the total pile of crap known as the Eddie current Electra. center tapped output inductors that saturate due to the DC problems at the input stage.

The Multi Amp aka Dynalo Mk2
Lots of people changing the gain. Yes it's Rfeedback/Rground+1

Kerry was going to publish code soon

Small amplifier for Stax
i'm pretty sure i was the first person to do an electrostatic amp with dual local feedback at the output stage which in the 1950's was called a composite amplifer. taking the original ges design and adding cascoded constant current sources at the output would definitely be an upgrade.

that is the cast input. you remove the 1k resistor and ground the I+ and i- i will relabel as cast soon. i published the balanced output/cast board this morning. 2 input boards, 2 output boards, step attenuator and relay input/output board and you have a full unbalanced/balanced/cast input/output preamp

jumper J1? on what? +/-24V is going to be pretty low for uber2. Should work, but much lower power.

the balanced version is what is shown times 2. so the balanced input impedance would be 20k.

Mike Mercer review Cavalli Liquid gold
jj (formerly tesla) tubes, no plate cap, so none of the NOS versions without modification sockets and really, a pentode as an otl output? sounds similar to rkv sure, why not.

transconductance amp
actually this amp is a V to I stage.

Vacuums
Roomba is an expensive toy. And then it breaks. Then the battery dies. Rinse and repeat. Very bad waste of $450. My dogs also don't like it.

a web page accessable by any device is what i really want. android or ios specific seems way too much work. then the touchscreen for those moments when you have to get out of the couch.
