I used those for the Megatron. Went to the Miramar airshow 3 weeks ago and saw Cobra helicopters using similar connectors The Russian (and I assume Chinese also?) versions are larger, bulkier and not as nice as the Amphenols, but they work just the same.

It is even sweeter when a difficult build comes to fruition. Congratulations!

Man, that is a nice build Where is the PSU?

Cool looking amp you built there! Congrats! And now: show the insides please

60 degrees Celsius on the sink part where devices are attached to. The heatsinks themselves about 42 degrees at the fins.

About 60 degrees Celsius

Thanks Frank. You are right, wiring is still quite messy.

Ha Ha. Good one! Especially if they are cryogenically treated

Yes, it is a powerCon, per Birgir's suggestion. External heatsink idea courtesy of Victor Chew and RiStar. Thank you guys.

Finally finished casing the power supply. Next is the amp itself. I am still not sure how I am going to do it. Wood or metal.

Oh Man. Are the cable-makes-a-difference-people moving into this forum? I though I had left them at head-fi

I assume by era you meant ear? Or may be it was era. Then 1842 would make sense.

Those are the best looking KGSSHV's I have ever seen!

Thanks!

Their amplifiers don't sound so good either.

Man, I am sure that hurt like the dickens! At least you are still alive!

Temperature with the offboard external heatsinks is 56 degrees Celsius at the contact point with the transistors, about 42 degrees in the heatsink fins. Very pleased with the results. It reached 90 plus Celsius with the small onboard heat sinks. I have not cased it yet (working on the PSU first). The sound is to my ears moar better than the KGSSHV. Have not compared it side by side with the BHSE, but I bet they are pretty similar. Simply Stunning!

Congratulations on your build!

Indeed. Quite nice!

First TV we had in my family was a Zenith. B&W in all its glory.

There is this place in japan somebody had volunteered to do a group buy from but it never happened. If somebody speaks Japanese and lives in Tokyo, this is the time to speak up Arnaud?

After 40 minutes, about 40+ Celsius, but have not connected the amp yet.

This is what I've done to the PSU. Temperature is staying in the 50 Celsius so far. Cheap heatsink amplifier case from ebay.

If anything is mentioned at head-fi, the moderator police will show up in force

Nothing better than home made turtle soup. Wait, was this about headphones or something?
