Remarkably, most of the components survived. The current regulator, U1, was vaporized along with the set resistors. The main fire was from the bottom through hole resistor.
Next step, Poubelle!
After that, I’m putting in a more robust current regulator.

What is the unregulated voltage to the IXCP10M90S.
I agree you should check the current coming out of the regulator.

Are the Zeners 3W or higher. They may have a higher test point if so. The current regulator supplies about 1.3mA.
Also, are they 10% or 20%?

I heard about this. Really a shame and kills a wonderful DIY spirit here.

Got my care package today. Thank you Michael!

I'm running + and - 15v, 6922 and el34 from the same transformer all heaters are AC. As long as the insulation on the windings can handle the 400V between el34 and the other windings its fine.
That's similar to the DIY T2 and works just fine.

I haven’t removed “current limiter” resistor – here I use 15R/3W – just removed the 2n3904 transistor.
I agree with this. The transistor does not provide protection against shorts, so I remove it as well and use the 15R resistor. When I feel it necessary, I use an external current regulator.

I've tested the STP03D200 device and it works well. I don't have any listening tests with it.

Been there. Glad you got everything back up and running

I was hoping for something quite the opposite, but one never knows
