I saw Stax Teflon normal and pro bias jacks on AliExpress about a week ago, but now can find only the 5 pin pro model. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Teflon-Chassis-Jack-for-Stax-Headphones/1386475435.html You might try checking there occasionally,or directly inquire with the vendor.

Thanks Birgir

I saw that from Kerry, too. Along with several others. Can we confirm this the final spec? Also, I wanted a little more headroom on the low voltage taps for the drop out on the Golden Reference LV.

I sent them 2 emails with no reply. Been talking with Mike at Custom Magnetics about a custom R Core. He answered back, no problem, saying customers liked their audio R Cores. Quoted $110 for 1, $95 for 10+ Based on standard R80 core. I may have underspec'ed the transformer as similar to my KGST, not taking into account the higher current of the Carbon. Primary: 115VAC x 2 (50-60hz) Secondaries: 360VAC@100mA x 2; 18VAC@200mA x 2 Electrostatically shielded with ground wire 10 inch lead wires If I can get solid spec's for the Carbon transformer, will get the quote updated and posted here.

I would be interested in a board set and caps.

Exactly right. The heaters take a while to warm up for the tubes to start conducting.

Payment sent days ago.

Thanks for working with Kevin to make sure these caps work in the latest PS PCBs. I was going by earlier info posted on the other thread. No doubt $12 for this capacitor is a great deal. Just not exactly what I thought it was, expecting a 4 pole type. I'm still in, can always upgrade to Mundorfs later.

From the spec sheet, these look like conventional 2 pin electrolytics with 2 extra NC pins. Does not seem to offer the benefit of separate ground returns like Mundorf and Jensen 4 pole caps. Also the pin pattern is different than the Mundorf 4 pin caps that the PCBs were designed for.

Are the FT the same height as the Mundorf?

Stax USA quoted me $350.

Payment sent and completed. Thanks!

My order looks good to go.

Really nice build. Especially the small size and the minimalist design.

My quantites are correct. Ready to send $ via Paypal Gift as soon as you are ready. This is one hell of a job you've taken on. A big thank you.

Deleted. Bought a set.

I'm in for 8 Mundorf caps. Makes it an even 100. How many until we get a quantity break?

Thanks in advance for not sourcing the Carbon PCBs from these guys.

Thanks Kevin.

I was unsuccessful in searching for the schematic. Which are the feedback resistors that set the output?

Be sure to leave the Yggy powered on 24/7 for all those 15 trial days, then decide to keep or return.

My selections look good. I'd prefer the latest boards with the opto servo.

. The 6S4A used in the KGST has a controlled delayed warmup for the heater. The A revision was released with this engineered in, to lower the turn on power surge in TVs. Should be kept in mind when considered as a reference for conduction in other tubes/circuits.

I know. Believe me, I know about Chinese quality.
