this will be the power supply people should use for the kgst and kgdt heavy modifications by 3 people from the original kgbh power supply. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgbhultramini.jpg 5.3 x 4.37 inches original was 6.6 x 5.5 inches

i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
it used to be that Disney would sue anyone with anything with the word "tron" in it.

npn transistors are always used in the same way as triodes dual gate mosfets (there are very few left) are used in the same way as tetrodes

Part Sourcing Assistance/Advice Thread
the cathode winding of opposite polarity is what mcintosh calls cross coupled cathodes. A patent from the late 1950's. Definitely made a big difference in distortion. And they did bifilar winding too. but otherwise standard steel with alternating E and I pieces. There was a very recent youtube that showed them making transformers for the reissue mc275.

KG Balanced Dynahi build discussion thread
that is close to right, because of the way supersymmetry works. i will when i have time get you the exact values. using this amp with 300 ohm headphones is probably pretty goofy, as the voltage swing will easily fry both the headphones and your ears. put mainly your ears. really designed for low impedance low efficiency phones. he6, that kind of thing. new supersymmetry dynalo is much better for high efficiency high impedance headphones

The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!
same as any of the .1uf ceramic caps, 15v or more

Megatron Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier
you are going to need a bunch of heatsink. use the off board power supply version.

Megatron Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier
NO. you are missing the point. The point is a fair bit MORE current. one 10m90s is not going to handle that. you would need 3. and you need 3 x fqpf8n80c. other than that, both supplies are about the same in cost and performance ksc5026 works fine as 2sc3675 or 2sc3840 replacement and is a current part ksa1156 works fine as 2sa1486 replacement with the 270V zener and is a current part

depends on if you are pabbi1 or not.

coming soon to a file server near you http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgdt.jpg 4.15 x 4.17 inch think of it as a cheap swiss army knife of electrostatic amplifiers works with any standard dual triode suitable for voltage 1 per channel Russian 6n1P, 6cg7,6fq7,ecc99,12bh7.... NOT designed by morons with just a digital voltmeter NOT open loop Not high distortion rationally priced (you get where I'm going here)

stax mafia circuit boards see updated links on page 5
I actually did this because it was taking too much time to respond to every single person separately. Now I will just point to the file tree, and keep it updated.

hopefully i cleaned this up and its the current versions of everything see updated links on page 5

this should handle the power angle bracket to big heatsink and 3 x fet per side http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvpsminiexternal.jpg

birgir messed up the lsk389 footprint on the test boards. how, he does not know as this should have been a cut and paste. version .4 of the boards will be production. also the one cap was too close to the ic socket.

final pic before I put the fets in. works just fine. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/dsc_0591.jpg

300v pulls too much current for the kind of thing used in a srd. Besides which very low noise is rather important.
-
The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!
iwik is talking about the power supply, and technically the resistor was running very close to its voltage limits. So its now 2 resistors in series. Same value. Its on both of the 500v supplies

The Headcase Stax thread
i really like Teflon http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxmale2.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxmale3.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxmale4.jpg will knurl the end of the plug just for fun. setscrews are 0-80 the production versions will be white delrin i think. staxmafia personnel will get the Teflon versions.
-
i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
a pair of 10m90s in parallel will definitely do it.

The Headcase Stax thread
that stuff grips the pins very tight. no glue required. what the Teflon does, I do not know. also have to try delrin and nylon. I made the first one just to make sure I got the machine code right and in the right order. turns out I made the first one from kel-f. Not what I was intending on
