The 009s are so polite compared to the 007s

Haven't had a chance to measure DC at the outlet, my meter is on loan I did grab an ISOPUCK for the office. I noticed that when I use it metal surfaces feel "electrified" if that makes sense- running my finger over the surface produces a tingling sensation and the perception of 60Hz hum. Will test on the BHSE later, but this wasn't the case with the other isolation transformer

Interesting ideas, a shame I've only some K401s as my dynamic headphones.

I think he's using these transformers as gain elements so they're right in the heart of the signal path

thanks for the isolation info, I also came across something similar in pimms notes

I remember owning two pairs and trying wearing one forwards and one backwards, I think I broke my neck

how were you interfacing the ccs against the sink with the bushing there

isn't using the hv rail like that similar to what the exstata does for its input stage? I thought there were drift problems or something

o man you totally stole that post out from under my feet

there's no politics you're just being a dipshit about your likes and dislikes. nobody paid you to be a tool

it wasn't detailed in posts this was mentioned to you already

I think supremes are 1mm lead diameter, but I was just thinking out loud. It might be beneficial to include holes for multiple lengths when there's AC coupling in general. Nothing crazy like what diyaudio enables, maybe just 2 pr 3 mafia-approved caps. Something that came to mind while build the megatron

if possible make the pads a little larger so I can get rid of some mundorf supremes

you can always just try it, hopefully there's something else you can series if you can't get it to zero out

I used 1.2 and that worked fine for me

Yeah I might just case the amp boards separately from the psu so I can swap between the hv and st without buying more parts. It sounds great but reading some asswipes comments on headfi about how it's the greatest thing since sliced bread is really detracting from my experience, fairly petty of me

they've been pretty open anti-DSD, especially in their yggdrasil thread

For those of you who are lazy, or as we like to call it in the industry, efficient, the KGSSHV works with the KGST's BH power supply @ 350V. I'm doing some duration testing right now but there seems to be enough adjustment range on the pot to get down to 0V. After it's warmed up it settles to around 15-18V, no servo. Might be enough for me to leave it. Also pretty lukewarm heatsinks, reminds me off the vanilla offboard build.

sounds perfect for electrostatic output devices...maybe current sources too?

No that was for the original board, http://www.pcbway.com/pcb-board-quote.html

fair enough, china it is. I think PCBWay quoted me 5 boards for 350-ish for just the amplifier

I was looking for one-off deals and found this for fabbing the boards. There's enough area to do a run of the original, so that should encompass all of the current variations that currently exist. Plus black is free, which is of course priceless Also some leftover space to add some boards if you were so inclined, was going to try to see if I could shove a dynalo in there Does anyone see issues using 1oz copper for this? There are also some more recent options such as PCBway which has criminally low prices, but I can't justify using this without forming a group

You can also just buy any quad and...not tube roll how is that different from the KGSSHV, except that they stick out of the case?

It's kind of an issue Ari, if I have boards lying around I somehow always end up populating them. It's part of the reason I have shied away from p2p work, aside from incompetence. I started looking at the newer board files, do they have to have offboarded heatsinks? I got the impression that the original footprint was to match with aesthetics of the amplifier board.

for those interested int he kgsshv I just remembered that it requires 4x mpsw42 something else to stock up on
