sure, here's the schematic again. the way it works is the relays flip when you plug in the 20B. because there should always be a time delay on the high voltage and I'd hope nobody is hot swapping the tubes it should be completely safe

joamat, did you ever check out trying the adapter I came up with for EL34 and 20B in the same amp?

Ask joamat.
I'm not sure what this is referring to but I had built the prototype of this in 2014

Looks like the diodes and the power supply FETs, or at least one of them, is blown. And what you're seeing is probably 15 years worth of dirt. That alone could cause a failure, or something in the amp failed and caused the power supply to blow. This is a very very early KGSS, you can tell because the 1N914 diodes are crossed in the left channel due to a PCB error. That was fixed after the first run of boards. Also has cheap stepped attenuators from China (eBay) that were popular on Head-Fi at the time. This is probably from 2004

So I guess blue is the new black?
I broke down and got a 009BK... I know I'm weak but we all knew this would happen.
What's funny is that after 6 sets of 009's that have gone through here, these are a bit different. They are still bright and the bass is mehhh but they are not as bright as my other set and the bass is improved. Could be unit to unit variation but that's not the norm with Stax so I'm curios if they have updated the 009's a bit. More listening to come...
We (Peter) will have the SR-009BK at AXPONA in Chicago this weekend if anyone wants to check it out

Try dropping them and see if they bounce?

ok that took me a minute
i send my shipments of parts to the anodizer one color at a time as that's the only way it doesn't get messed up

I have a Tek 2467B scope sitting around that i've been planning to sell. Only thing wrong with it (AFAIK) is it needs some calibration for the scaling on the display.
I had a 2465A a few years ago but the display just went dead after owning it a few months

a new favorite emerges...DACs are just better when they're wireless

it should have an electrostatic driver by the time they get to S4000 Pro..
I may just step up to the Airpulse ?

I would consider the SRM-353X instead of those

around 1/2 of GS-X mk2 price, plus or minus a couple hundred. 2 volume control choices (Alps Blue or DACT stepped attenuator)

We're getting very close - the power switch is on the front and a DACT is optional. Champagne will be a color option. This prototype has a blue bead blasted panel (compared to our usual polished blue).
We'll have a prototype of the new GS-X mini at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest next month!

Note that KG's boards are designed to use the ceramic insulators - you can see the thickness of the insulator outlined on the board where there are on-board heat sinks. Considering the minimal cost and the fact that they have been used on many successful builds without issues, I don't see the point in playing around with mica or silicon insulators, other than contrariiess.
I like SPA2000-0.015-00-54 if using PEEK screws

Nope i'm just on the email list

Spirit Torino Headphones

Posted · Edited by justin
So in trying something new, HeadAmp is now offering the Spirit Torino headphones from Italy.
These are my 3 favorite models...I'll have to do a lot more listening to see which is definitely the favorite, but all of these shine in their own way. The Radiante is a closed back and may be the most interesting of the bunch.
Anyone going to be at the DC meet next weekend? I might also look at doing a loaner program for these. Very few people have heard them yet
