Higuchi is where I got both my Grand Seikos. I got the same random Japanese handicrafts as well

The gate stopper will form a low pass filter with the mosfet input capacitance, which changes with the number of paralleled devices. Since this value differs between n and p channel values, the goal would be to pick a frequency and then calculate different gate stopper values for p and n ch devices. Gate stopper should slow things down enough to be sufficient.

1K gate stopper is probably too high. Can you cut that in half? You might read through this paper: http://www.cordellaudio.com/papers/MOSFET_Power_Amp.pdf

For $5 we will tell you.

A vacuum tube?

Is that some new SI unit of measurement? We Americans don't always get the memo on what the rest of the world is doing.

Yeah, that was done that way by the designer on purpose. Nothing to add yet - how many output devices are you using?

3V, in most cases.

If you have plated through vias it's possible to use solder paste then heat from the bottom with a iron. It's not the best option though.

Ditch the ESS. Feels like lipstick on a pig.

Heh, I even have the heatsinks. What is so appealing about this design, anyways? I think 100 would be a good start, yeah.

I have had this fault actually happen and it was protected by a ground loop breaker using a thermistor and half of a bridge. See the arrangement in the F5 Turbo First Watt project.

The fuse should calculated as follows: Total VA transformer rating divided by line voltage times 133%. In rush configuration should be whatever is necessary to make this value work in practice, given the capacitance in the power supply. This might be a thermistor or may need to be a relay switching a resistor.

Well, the Sunfire turned out to be a great choice, especially when I found the dreaded LFE+MAIN setting on my receiver. I also was rather impressed with the Best Buy Magnolia "Design Center" which there is one in Austin - which happens to be the closest to my house. I ended up with one of these for center. Need to re-Audessy things once we get some furniture moved around and then looking forward to the final product.

Now you just need a second on the other side of the board

Poke

No, it goes to this: You can see it exiting the cabinet here Overhead

I ended up using Symposium Rollerblock Jr. I already turned in my "objectionivist" card. In action https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByiOVOm07uqqTlp2eWdwSGIwakE

I made a cable

Hm, let me try on the desktop version.

Hm. Tapatalk maybe is having problems with videos? Well, you can think why the cork blocks wouldn't work (tried those) - the turntable is on a shelf already which constrains which dimensions it can move in. It can't really move up and down as the wall won't allow that more or less (I am not a "physicist" like a certain other headphone amplifier manufacturer). The problem seems to be in the other direction ("in" and "out") - add some pseudo-science, hand-waving, etc. here

Turntable isolation. Volume made a difference to some extent. I also seem to getting massive static buildup which isn't getting drained away via the earth connection. It takes about 75% of a side and then goes a bit nuts, even with the needle a few mm from the record (and the mat just sticks like glue to the record). Regardless, this problem was definitely feedback and seems totally gone. https://vimeo.com/199100859

Back to my "crazy Feedback problem".... So, after playing with an embarrassing number of snake-oil laden isolation devices, which I will never ever admit in public, I have a solution. I tried inflatables (wide open, I know), squishy balls (not getting better), sorbothane (not really that one is a joke), spikes (not really into that)... things costing $0-$1000. I have to say this was easy because of my Enya torture track - surprisingly snake oil salesmen don't like empirical tests and demanded more "listening". Ok, anyone (maybe only Dusty cares) want to guess what worked? Hint is that it is a pretty large "isolation" vendor. I would have never tried it, but had a somewhat local vendor with some demo units and they just worked...

The only instability I would be worried about that isn't proven is lots of capacitance on the output. So, if your are connecting the PSU to a board with say 1000uF rail capacitance - I might start to worry.
