Not to speak for KG, but the purpose of doing a project write-up so this type of info is documented?

use 500v caps then.

The first KGSS psu called for a 800VAC CT @ 0.2A (Thordarson 24R22U) plus a

sounds like a CD transport

I agree. I posted these same conclusions somewhere after listening to pabbi1's...

try 700v for the psu and 1.2kv peak-to-peak output. That's the stock output, you can easily double the current / power if you have heatsinking. It's fun, just pray that the exit wound will be *very* near the entrance wound for any electrocutions.

I probably misunderstood Nate then, I figured he was looking for old board files... carry on.

there are a lot of shitty board designs out there... good luck on this endeavor. I hope you enjoy troubleshooting.

2 links, but there are so many more: http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=KC5459&CATID=25&keywords=&SPECIAL=&form=CAT&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID=557 http://eshop.diyclub.biz/product_info.php?cPath=1_198&products_id=436

would a DIY CD-ROM controller kit work for you? These are pretty nifty, but require some knowledge and DIY skills.

any sequences of -- or /* etc in the message?

please at least give an option for external heat sinking. This amp really improves with extra biasing and it's stupid simple to do...

cannot zoom in on the pics

I think Ebay and Audiogon have the best selection. I can indeed find local deals at Waterloo and Half Price Books, but you gotta get lucky. It's fun, but sometimes you want something specific and in this case either record mailing lists or Ebay is the way to go.

sweet, so sounds like you're going to go with this setup for a while, huh?

I've heard the same, as I'm getting closer to deciding how the MPX3 will work into a current buffer (F4) for driving speakers. If it doesn't work, I will grab the controller as well and start looking for a preamp project. I talked to Russ about 2-3 weeks ago about it, for what that's worth.

Xicon resistors would work fine here (700 VDC if I recall), or even better are Mini-Mox resistors as they have a very high HV rating. Both are available at Mouser.

I've always modeled amps in SPICE using a single 200pF capacitor as load and disregarded any resistive elements. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do things, but it seems to give believable results.

visiting some friends and attending a wedding.... and all the fun and games that go along with those two activities.

a custom knob for a certain amplifier. I'll post pics when it get it, but it's pretty basic. Most importantly, it fits a 1/8" shaft. I got it from a local place, which is cool: http://www.armadilloguitar.com/ if anyone ever need custom knobs, give them a call. I think I paid around $18 for a solid stainless steel knob that's around 1" thick and 1.5" in diameter.... with position indicator and set screw. that being said, I now have a spare vt4c knob for sale.

I think I'm in NYC...

blasphemy! never build your house on solid-state.. you need a nice tube buffer

yeah, so instead let's use opamps! yeah!

a bit hungover and in NYC... that's it so far
