What type of caps should I use for the caps I circled in red?

I thought about the parts I have for building 30V GRLV boards for my dynahi, I noticed that the tantalum caps are all rated at 25. Should I increase them to 50V when building for 30V?

I felt a bit of throw up in my mouth as well

it makes me want to watch the series! Love it! Couldn't stop thinking Jesse was using meth again

That's some sketchy shit right there

I'm not into bikes but that was really cool

better late than never... Assembled the case today

thanks Dr. Gilmore! heard details I never heard before

I'd agree... I was quite pleased when I fired it up. I'm inclined to just leave it. Compared to the TPA bipolar supply it immediately sounded better. The sound stage seems more dynamic and I hope it gets better.

That's what I was thinking. Is there any harm leaving it as is? I'm ok with the results I'll check it tonight, anything is possible

Another one lives... This one is powering the IVY III output stage of my DAC. I populated all the resistors with the trim pots. I get -14.96 and +14.96 I noticed that when I adjusted the pots there was no change. I read that my 4.5 digit meter will not have the resolution to display what's being adjusted when I adjust the pot. Is that why I see no adjustment?

Mundorf makes a cap that'll fit and it's rated at 40V. It's probably not gonna make much difference but this one's going to power the output stage in my DAC and all the other PSU caps are mundorf so I was just trying to keep them all the same.

Can I use 40V caps for the large 4700 uf 50V caps? I think those see the rectified unregulated voltage. The transformer I'm using would be 15 VAC with primary at 115V. My mains usually run at 120 so maybe output would be 16VAC, 16 x 1.4 would put the unregulated voltage at 22.4 VDC. That's still ok right?

Thank you sir...

can someone tell me where R8 and R9 are on this board? I need to build it for 15V. I've circled the four 1.5K resistors are that I think are for setting the voltage. I also circled a 10 ohm at the top of the board and wondered if I needed to populate that?

I'd like to start planning my preamp using these boards. Does anyone see a problem with using AMB's LCDuino-1 and delta 1 and 2 setup for balanced?

ordered the parts and face plates today. Should be able to start the build next week

excellent.. I like the look of that. Thanks

My son is getting into vinyl and I'm not much into it myself so I don't know what a good entry turntable is. Any good suggestions?

not for my sausage fingers thats for sure!

is that 12 fans on a radiator? Replaced a fualty GFIC outlet in the dark outside with just a surefire M2 lighting the way. Didn't want to listen to "when can you fix the Christmas lights?" for the rest of the week in the morning and then again at dinner, and then just before bed.

built a tap of sorts to see what my STX build draws just to make sure the transformer I have is adequately sized. The max it pulled was 2.1 amps at 19Vdc durring a CPU stress test. Salas says make sure you have 2x the capacity. Pars built the Dynalo Mini in the picture

I'll drop Tidal in the next few weeks. Amazon Music HD for 12.99/mo for prime members is hard to beat. No difference in quality that I can hear so far

ah hah, so the app that I was reading about is not the existing one. The only thing I can think of is the silicondust Prime and then find a storage area for your recordings. The Prime 6 looks like it's gonna be deep into 2020 before it sees the light of the day unless you want to buy a prime 3 off ebay. I'll keep looking to see what I find

I just realized that The Tivo bolt must transcode the show so you can watch it via the app. This is why it's a show by show type deal instead of just streaming the live TV channel without stopping. At least I think that's what it is. Might be worth it to buy the shield (if the Tivo app works on it), then buy a silicondust prime 3 box (used off ebay) and run all three devices. That way the Bolt remains your DVR, the Silicondust prime serves live TV. Doing it that way allows you to watch live TV, your recorded shows, and all the apps that you can't get on the Tivo. Then when time and money permits you can build a NAS, subscribe to silicondust's DVR service and ditch the Tivo altogether.
