New device package in Proteus. Generic output tube footprint for DIY T2. Accepts EL34, EML 20B-V4 and 300B. Will see if fab house can fix this.

Only positive voltage is expected to change. Set voltage cross 22K resistor to 6.5V and don’t change that unless a good reason. Battery voltage of 740V is mostly a good value. But if 748V works be happy.

I give up, can’t find a way to significantly shrink it. But this one has four pair output transistor each channel. BIAS servo controlled. Flat on Modushop 300mm x 80 mm heat sink. Project name is CFA3 smd something X4.

Audiotailor “Jade” something. Current sources, surface mounted components and ordinary films and electrolytics in signal path. Board size just within 100 mm X 100 mm. Then I get 10 boards for only 4.90 dollars. Shipping cost to Sweden is the “heavy” burden.

With cpc117n unpowered D1/C4 are put offside and nothing out from Q3 is expected (I think). Power the relay or remove it and see what happens.

mini T2 one channel lsk389 replacing 6DJ8/6922. Still on drawing table.

Happy Birthday!

Run out of k216/j79? Go TTA004B and TTC004B. To my knowledge half a dozen T2 with “modern” components including TTx004B have been built in Sweden and owners/users seem to like them.

Great! When the RIP MY T2 was announced, I said to myself - James will have a new T2 ready in 10 to 14 days… Now only three days has elapsed. No rush, James.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Antonio!

Have used the 300B tubes with DIY T2 for three months now. First two months with an amplifier with all original transistors and the last month with an all-modern transistors’ amplifier. Only issue so far is a failed small solid-state relay in filament supply. Otherwise, I find the DIY T2/300B pleasant.

A wise person once told me - the only sure thing is that it is uncertain (google translated from Swedish).

My torque setting of 82 Ncm equals to 0.82 Nm, or? Upper post’s 8-9 Nm must equal to 800-900 Ncm This link is very handy. https://www.convertunits.com/from/N-cm/to/N-m 😉

Used above setting for a long time and haven't had any issues so far – knock on wood. Also, in JoaMat kitchen we don’t use any kind of thermal compound... , but we use

I believe the space around the rectifiers makes it risk free to use the uninsulated version on the original Kevin T2 PSU board.

Maybe already posted… anyhow, it’s what I’m listening to right now.

Happy Birthday, José!

Happy Birthday, Birgir!

New T2 - great @s_r Remote diagnosis is not easy… but the dark LED in red circle – is it dead or wrong orientation? Diode test might give some answer.
