Update after listening all day with it closed up - temps in the base of the heatsinks are at least 77°C, current is 14.2 mA. Yep, it’s hot. The batteries crapped out in my IR thermometer, so I used a high end contact meat thermometer between the fins, lol 🥩. The heat sinks are not in contact with the case…I may try the aluminum bar mod if it gets too hot.

It’s alive! Getting the offsets adjusted is so touchy…finally got it below 2mv as it drifted about. Did it without heatsinks after being on for a while. It seems to settle in around 14ma with the LTST-C170CKT LEDs and the 402R. Running 240R vice the 255R. Will likely let this cook for a while and see if it needs any tweaks. That front panel light is a bit bright…may need to tone that down a bit… 🤓

Happy Birthday!

I’ve got the group buy case…planning on adding the 5mm aluminum bar to it. Thanks Pars! I’ll need to think some more about the regulators while I wait for some MMBTA06 to come in I didn’t realize I never received… What LED and bias resistors did you end up with in the end? I’ll put mine in the sheet once it’s up and running. Likely will use 402 / 240 with the LTST-C170CKT.

Before I start working topside, I have a question about the onboard regulator vs the AMB. I have both, and given the ability to get it attached, which is preferred? Is it better to just use the AMB and get the heat off the board?

The golden orb thing that created an electrostatic field to “tune” the room was the pinnacle of oiliness I thought…I still feel dirty after being in the room with it. I think it was on the 6th floor too 😂

What is the favored method for affixing the heatsinks to the output transistors? After years on the shelf, I’m finally getting around to assembling this. 🤓

Weird in a good way…I enjoyed this one.
