got my kgss clone - power supply here is +24v -24v and -275v and +275v whoever did this for some reason reduced the voltage... probably to reduce the heating on the transistors, which are not cooled at all... well, I drove it for about 10 hours - the transistors are not very hot... it is written on the boards - "To-A-AMP V1.0" \ "To-A-AMP-POV V1.0" kgss-signal-diode-mod ->>>> also - I found this - they advise trying different diodes... will try what else..? my main goal is - to get a sound similar to KGSSHV or KGSSHV Carbon - is it possible here - or am I asking too much from this? and yes - Of course I will install radiators on all transistors and screw the transistors to the case with plastic screws... but i bought it like this and now i'm trying to play with it for a while any advice or thoughts - is welcome for sure first I had a modified Stax SRD-7 I was not happy with its sound quality and bought this clone KGSS it already sounds better but I believe that I can get an even better sound but I don't know how... it seems the only way is to just buy KGSSHV or KGSSHV Carbon.... any advice or thoughts - is welcome for sure

hi spritzer thanks for your reply looks like yes, the only option is to simply either replace the transformers with others or just get a "direct drive" es amplifier today I bought an old KGSS for a very good price, I think this will be my solution for now

Hello everyone I recently bought a Stax SRD-7 with replaced transformers the essence of the problem is that the new transformers have a primary winding resistance of only 0.1 ohms (this is if we just measure it with a multimeter) - there are about 32 turns of thick wire, so their compatibility with amplifiers is very limited - amplifiers usually require at least 4 ohms. You will say that a simple solution to this is to simply add 4-8-16-32 ohm resistors in series with the primary winding. But. If i add at least 1 ohm - high frequencies begin to drop sharply, this is very audible in headphones. Is there any other way to put something instead of resistors so that this modified Stax SRD-7 can be safely connected to power amplifiers? I looked at solutions to this issue in KS M03, for example, there is a "maxim max97220a" for this - but this is a very cheap and poor sounding solution. I will be grateful for any ideas. The right decision would probably be to just throw out the Stax SRD-7 and buy a proper amp, but I want to give it a chance by using all the options.
