Nice looking PS!

Balanced output is pretty nice, drives LCD-2.2 very well. I felt like YELLO:

Dooooooh, that's what I get for not reading the fine print on the chassis. Thanks! Ok, snipped the jumpers and re-cal'd the boards. Much better. -------- Been listening to this for a few hours now....definitely rocks. -------- Something about this amp I just like......

I've got another section of Canare L4E6S ordered so I can wire up a balanced cable. Single ended it sounds pretty good with LCD2, maybe seems a bit bright. I'll need to double blind with the KSA5 to see if it's just me. I'll take your advice and swap to balanced input at some point. Switch is from ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151028998690 Jumpers? I added two for the sense right at the unit....is there one that comes off? Voltage is a little low, 13.3 is what I'm getting out of it now. I'd be in for a 4deck 10K if the price is reasonable.

Got it up and running, this is a cool amp!

Nice ambient groove...

No, but I will now!

Boards are in from https://www.pcbnet.com/Quotes/introductory-offers Great company to work with, boards look nice, I hope to have it up and running this weekend :

With any luck, the boards should be in Monday. Here's the case work so far:

Rock on!

Got it, thanks again!

What is the preferred sequence for adjusting the pots on this unit? The 3rd one is messing with my mind.....

Doooooood.

Mmm, parts incoming.

They drop 1.7 in use for me....and that is what is listed on the data sheet as typical.

Scallops

Gotta love a little Bipolar now and then.... Speaking of bipolar, how do you like that haa15 PSU? Is it quiet? Was thinking of using that with maybe a little off board capacitance if it needed it. The Krell went overboard with capacitance....this design seems much leaner. Thanks for clarifying the spacings

Doh, that was supposed to be OP27, not 275. Good catch! Also, I did the BOM per board, so quantities are half.

This is what I put together for the amp board only....any errors or suggested changes let me know: http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=33c64fee31 This has R38/39 reduced to 200ohm for 20V rails so I can jack my KSA5 power supply into it. Also could not find reel or tape for the mpsw06 so went with straight legs. Typically I prefer the prebent legs. Tempted to put it in the galaxy chassis like you did with that haa15....

Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth, the remaster is pretty nice (unlike many remasters). The CD also has Dissidents: The Search For Truth Part I off the 12".

I'm almost done with my Mouser BOM and have a couple questions. I notice in the schematic and the silkscreen file C2 and C5 are 5pf but in the photo you've used 10. I'm assuming the board was an earlier build and the latest is 5pf in the posted files. I plan to use Cornell Dubilier micas there: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=CD17CD050DO3virtualkey59850000virtualkey598-CD17CD050DO3 I'm also looking for what type of caps to use for the .1uf and 1uf units surrounding the servo.....looks like MLCC or maybe a tantalum for the 1uf? Thanks in advance.

The remaster is outstanding:
