Yup, a bad 300b amp. There is no substitute for large transformers etc,

Yeah, that is some heavy editing as it's just way off.

It's all to do with the temperature extremes of shipping something and different humidity levels. If somebody used them straight out of the box before allowing them to reach room temp then that might lead to some issues.

That's just due to shipping and can happen to any electrostatic transducer. Still it is not a nice thing to happen to a 5000$ set...

Luther was brilliant. I just finished Campus, pretty good too.

Cleaned the ash off my car. Bloody volcano...

Leica M9?

We are fine here in the south west of Iceland. He had some ash over the last few days but nothing compared to what they are getting underneath the glacier.

Been there, done that...

Over the years I've had a few dozen but this would be the third SR-007 for my collection. They are all a bit different though. The plan is to have every Omega version here when the SR-009 arrives, SR-Omega, SR-007 Mk1, SR-007A SZ2 version and SR-007 Mk2 SZ3 version.

I don't think there were ever any connectors specified for those. I used some teflon units I found on ebay but I had to modify them quite a bit.

Happy Birthday!!

SR-007 Mk2 SZ3-xxxx version....

I certainly have a lot of fun building the "lesser" amps just because they cost next to nothing. It's also a lot of fun to put discarded parts back to use.

Happy Birthday!!!

This is a different kind of lava so odds are that it won't disrupt flights to the same extent even though this is a much larger eruption. Check this picture out...

Let's hope this one is pretty mild as the same system that fees Grímsvötn is also responsible for Laki...

I'm with you there Frank, I see little sense in CCS loading the 6SN7 especially if the goal is to build something cheap. I am itching to build a simple 7F7/7N7 version some day though and cram it in a tiny chassis.

My 6S4A is very different from what Frank did, it's more like the original with a 47K plate resistors for the 6S4A's and a +/-350V PSU.

I see nothing wrong with selling the amp since these issues are all known and documented. I wouldn't bother modifying the boards since they are so small. Also the full blown Exstata 2.0 needs extra heatsinks to work properly. Now the standard reply here would be KGSS but since Headamp is out of boards then it is not an option any more. You could build something truly simple like the Egmont type amps I've been working on. Cost is basically just the transformer and a handful of parts. I especially like the one I built with 6S4A output tubes.

Stax SRM-323S. Crazy I know since I will sell it right away but I need to see just what Stax did to warrant a new model number and I can also teach the noobs how to change the voltage.

Done, thanks for doing this Kerry.

Brilliant news Nate!!!

Happy Birthday!!!
