  1. for the kgsshv that opto servo has at least half the peak to peak range. reason it exists is that its used as the current control in the latest version of the circlotron. thinking of applying latest ssdynalo design elements to the dynahi but thats going to be a bit. in other news, this is likely the final circlotron output stage, output stage current setable with a pot. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/circlotronoutput.pdf and then this http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvcarboncirclotron.jpg lots of realignment work to get this to match the driver board
  2. for the megatron, the two tubes are in series and warm up together (well close) so there is not going to be a big bump
  3. cleaned up schematic for both versions http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvcarbonproduction.pdf
  4. for megatron this may not be a great idea because the boards will trigger at slightly different times causing a huge output bump into the headphones if they are connected.
  5. that is just one of the caps, there are 4. so up to say 500 joules
  6. old power supply (per rail) (just the unregulated primary) 680uf x 2 caps in series, about 600v. total energy storage 61 joules new power supply 500v 1 x 680uf cap total energy storage 85 joules so you can certainly get away with 470uf which is 58 joules and that one is only 60mm high but if you are insane, you can go with the 1000uf cap which is still 40mm diameter but 105mm high and get 125 joules I'm clearly a fan of overkill, but 125 joules is in the range of a heart defibrillator (memories of Mikhail and his 4700uf/450V juice can caps) run at almost 500v and then he put 2 In parallel
  7. version 3 board ready for testing slightly updated servo schematic the taller caps are really useable in 3U boxes
  8. i have finally come up with a better servo, joamat and kerry had some really good ideas, but referencing the minus rail causes issues, and then there is the overhead voltage of the system. so here is something that i think is better because the reference is ground. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/newservo.pdf the circlotron needs a bigger chassis than that. and its probably too big for the carbon, but sure why not. going to look into transformers very soon.
  9. its one small sink that holds both of them. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/fatright.jpg
  10. a lot of people don't lift the resistors slightly off the boards, and cause trouble. i can certainly put the ground plane back in if people want it, but the design is very tight and short, so probably no reason to. here is what the ground plane would look like with 30th clearance, there is no way to do it on the bottom. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvcarbonv2.pdf takes 5 seconds to put it back on the board if people want it. no way to get to the ground pin on the ground plane for the hv power supply connector
  11. with the fat power supply boards, definitely fits in this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-DIY-BZ4309-Full-Aluminum-Enclosure-power-amplifier-box-dual-heatsink-chassis-/261938269078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cfcbccb96 iec hole already in the back panel
  12. the fat supplies are now exactly the same size as the amp boards all the mounting holes in exactly the same place. 5.45 x 4.05 inches fits in the dissipante 2U box with the boards mounted horizontal with ample room for transformer, or 3U box with the boards mounted vertical, and even more room for the transformer. the skinny supplies are 3 x 6.5 inches which is a tougher fit in many boxes.
  13. that is unnecessary but i could probably do it. the result would be that those parts would get hotter. i have updated the fat boards to be exactly the same size as the amp boards, makes doing the bottom panel easier with the fat power supply boards, definitely fits in this one http://www.ebay.com/...=item3cfcbccb96 iec hole already in the back panel
  14. if you have the time check every one of them, but all i did was change a couple of silk screen labels, and a couple of .6 resistors into .5 which are easier for people to bend. the others are just cut and paste from the original
  15. too much variance in the parts so you measure the voltage across the testpoints which is a 150 ohm resistor. 3 volts == 20ma
  16. you would be surprised how little time these boards take to make. but but but ray samuels says that gerber files are tens of thousands of dollars each
  17. here you go http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/alpsrk50.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/boards/alpsrk50.zip
  18. one pair of amp boards and one pair of fat power supply boards or 1 dual power supply board.
  19. done, all 5 versions of the power supply fat versions are 5.45 x 4 inches now to find 3U narrow box the fat supplies would work in the 2U next to the amp boards here it is with the fat power supplies in the 2U dissipante chassis http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/chassis2.jpg
  20. did not know that, makes it easier amp board 5.45 x 4.05 inches 211 holes psdual board 6 x 6.48 inches 287 holes ps single boards 3 x 6.48 inches if there was a 3U heatsink chassis that was only say 10 inches wide on the inside I could do the power boards for that.
  21. here is the final stuff unless someone finds an error http://gilmore.chem....shvcarbonv2.jpg http://gilmore.chem....fetdual2new.jpg http://gilmore.chem....fetdual2new.zip http://gilmore.chem....shvcarbonv2.zip remember on the +/-15 regulators, the tabs are hot, so insulators on both parts, and either plastic screw, or metal screw with the plastic rings on both sides.
  22. i will be updating the v2 amp board and dual power supply boards shortly. increasing the distance on the heatsink to .8 inches so that the heatsink completely covers the metal part of the fet and shrinking the amp board slightly. here is the final stuff unless someone finds an error http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvcarbonv2.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvpssicfetdual2new.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/boards/kgsshvpssicfetdual2new.zip http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/boards/kgsshvcarbonv2.zip single version boards updated amp board 5.45 x 4.05 inches 211 holes psdual board 6 x 6.48 inches 287 holes ps single boards 3 x 6.48 inches
  23. those are fine current limit is .75 volts across the 10 or 5.1 ohm resistor, or whatever value you stick in there
  24. yep, exactly like it works on the original supply
  25. I could always cut the footprint out of the stax t2 board, and add a couple of connectors, but you would have to make the boards yourself.
