I always thought L100s sounded like shit back then. Decent (re: punchy) for rock, but not much else. I much preferred the Infinity Monitors we had (and the ESS AMT-1s). EDIT: BTW, Nelson Pass is a fan. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/354985-ess-amt-unpack.html#post6217253

Yep. Never bought from them, but littlediode is a known fake seller, though IIRC not everything they sell is.

^ Yes it is. When I first looked at the pics, I thought the pot shaft extender was a pencil...

From the schematic I have, the 500K resistors are from the inputs to ground, so would be in parallel with the volume pot. See if that value changes as you move the pot from 0 volume to full. That said, measuring resistors in circuit will give you sometimes strange results as you don't know the exact interactions with connected components. Also, ohming out resistors for what is suspected to be a leakage problem won't really tell you anything. Can you post detailed pics of the amp boards? Are the resistors lifted off of the board, or installed right on the surface? And what is the origin of this KGSSHV? i.e. who built it?

Some of us do or have used PRP PR9372 resistors in the past. Things I've noticed about them that I don't like include the epoxy or other jacketing used on the resistors is fragile and easily damaged. The 1/4W variants are rated to 300V; 1/2W and above for 500V. I would presume that actual performance meeting this rating would depend on the integrity of the jacketing?
-
Is VT4C still around? Their website has been down for quite some time. Is the pot itself grounded to the chassis (thru the nose)? Other than that, what Doug said makes good sense.

Anyone used a Grace F9e? Almost snagged one today... seems quite interesting.

You won't need heatsinks while it is unloaded.
-
No. powering it up without those components won't tell you much if anything.
-
I presume the front end on these is similar or the same as the SS Dynalo? If so, JFETs sound a lot better than the THAT340 does.

Happy Birthday Rob!

Stunning is right! Nice job boyz!!!

Gawd, you made my ears cringe with that... I think my '70 Chevelle SS had one in it. Never bought any 8 tracks, but played one in it once. Almost threw it out the window! Man were those things bad.

R4 and R6 are crooked... tsk tsk.. EDIT: j/k BTW, they look great!

Pretty cool video of a couple of endurance cyclists doing a 467km stage from the 1903 Tour de France on near period bikes. https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/video/can-we-ride-and-survive-a-stage-of-the-1903-tour-de-france

Tried a recipe from a restaurant, Pastabilities, in Syracuse, NY as seen on DIners, Drive-Ins and Dives, called Wicked Chicken Riggies. Basically chicken and rigatoni in a spicy tomato cream sauce. Quite good and the whole family enjoyed it. I'll be doing it again. The recipe makes a huge portion of the sauce; I cut it in half and still have enough for another meal for 4. Sorry, I'd already started eating before I took the pic

You normally just upload the .zip, not the individual files. I don't use PCBWay and didn't want to go thru their registration bullshit, but tried the file with seeedstudio and it worked fine. The Gerber viewer picked it up just fine, and it didn't look like it would be any problem.

So I guess that GRLV board I sent Justin went to good use
