Can you elaborate on the KGDT? I missed that one.

Those spiders hooked to the heatsinks look awesome. 600 v cable wrapped on electric tape? Great idea.

This may not be a fancy variac, but is quite cheap. I have been using it for a couple of years without any trouble. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Variable-AC-Transformer-500VA-Variac-0-130V-TDGC2-0-5-/381177619548

kaboom!!!

I may be crazy but I paid about 500.00 to the STAX repair center in England. They just changed my drivers to the 404.

After running the amp for about 30 minutes, a low hum develops in one channel. If I turn it off it goes away when I try I later on. I wonder if the temperature is too high inside the case. The top panel gets hot. The thing is, when I just turn it on even a few minutes later, it sounds great without any noise whatsoever.

Frank Cooter and Kerry's DIY skills are simply amazing.

boards received. Thanks. That was fast!!!

The 009 sounds better with the Megatron than KGSSHV. With the latter sound is leaner. Megatron sounds fuller with better bass. Both are good, but Megatron is gooder.

I bought a few too. we'll see how they turn out.

The switch idea is pretty neat. I like it.

Yeah. Burn in is real

KGSShv with Sanyo parts vs Ixys. It has been a heated topic on head-fi. Don't think is worth it.

Thanks! I guess HC does not allow FPE file uploads

Very nice Jose! Felicitaciones! And Kerry speaks Spanish? Wow!

Thanks Kerry. I'll post the FPE files as soon as I can. I am on a PC not my MAC currently. Just assembled part of the chassis to make sure everything fits, and it does. Never mind the front panels are upside down. Easy fix The LED's are on top. Made 4 holes for them.

Perhaps the 009's are not for you. 007 may be more to your liking as some people do

I went to an Armenian wedding recently and the music was insanely loud. Lots of fun but I had to keep my hand on my ears like a delicate damsel in order to keep my sanity.

I bought my 009 (SZ9 1797) from Justin a couple of yrs ago and love it. Not sure if its the first version or not.

No problem. I'll do it tonight when I get back home. Nopants also wanted them.

Working on the amplifier chassis. Used 6 mm aluminum for everything except for the front panel, which is 10 mm. The filament transformers will be hanging down like bats. That's what the outer holes are for. That way all the wires will be in the same plane.

No wonder those transistors are hard to get... Birgir bought them all!

Elegant build. I am very impressed !

Not bad for unobtanium. I would expect higher prices

Bel Canto it is. I like it a lot.
