  1. A few screencaps with a scope from a while ago. The first is the AC coupled voltage at the +200V output of the battery (referenced to ground). The second is the same but at the output jack. I haven't tried re-measuring the output, but after replacing most of the sand the +200V output looked identical.

  2. I've recently gone back to try and fix the noise problem in my T2, since finishing the carbon. However it seems like the batteries aren't the culprit. I've now replaced all of the sand in the right channels batteries. I've also upped the feedback caps to 15pf. Neither has made any change to the noise. I really thank Kerry for helping me try to solve this, but this is feeling more like a wild goose chase than anything.

  3. The carbon is now playing music. :) Running at 20mA the sinks get properly hot. Don't have a temperature sensor on hand but I'd guess it's around 55C give or take. For reference I used 100ohm resistors before the offset instead of 182ohm. The toroid is buzzing on me unfortunately, so I'll have to see about getting that replaced. Aside from that it sounds fantastic.

  4. Pretty fantastic build headinclouds :)

    As for my PSU issue, I've now replaced the STN9360, the 10M90S & DN2540 beside each other and the cree so far. Still no change in behavior though. If it's any clue then pin 1 of the 10M90S closer to the cree reads +10V, pin 2 & pin 3 are +13V (referenced to ground).

  5. Well, I thought JoaMats suggestion about it being the 1N4007 was right. I got a voltage going both ways on it on the non working board but only one way on the working one. However I replaced it and it shows the same behavior once in the board. I swapped out the LT1021 in case that had something to do with it but the same result (voltage shown in both directions). Faulty STN9360 maybe?

    I've also double checked the current limiting resistor and it's actually 5.1R.

  6. I tried reflowing a number of joints around the 10m90s & the resistors around them. No change in behavior though. Also did some more measuring, the voltage across the 4.7kOhm resistor on both boards measure the same (about 1.77V). Pin 1 on the 10M90S right above the DN2540 reads +17V while pin 2 reads +559V, same as the cree. Not sure if those measurements are of much use though.
