This one cuts. Farewell Olivia.

RIP Judith Durham. Will be missed dearly.

You can either use split or a single GRHV psu board, your choice there is no difference, just layout choices. The amp pcbs are 1 channel per board, you’ll need 2. You don't have to use a GRLV, you can use the onboard 15V circuit that is included as part GRHV psu.

FYI I have enough to get by at the moment, good luck with the group buy!

RIP Isabella. What a beautiful dog, well loved I’m sure, she looks so happy!

When I get home after this weekend, I’ll check my stock, see if I need a top up.

Its probably a spilt board.

Happy Birthday Birgir!

Happy Birthday!!

There is no generic or universal enclosure as such. I recommend having a look at modushop, the pesante dissipante range could be the ticket. But you’ll need to tap heatsinks and drill holes for the panels. Modushop customise as well, so you could have everything done there from your drawings. eBay is another good source for enclosures. Front Panel Express is a great company for getting drilling of your panels done, you need to work with their proprietary software which is downloadable and fairly easy to use. Unfortunately none of this is cheap...

Happy Birthday Kerry!

Voja, your opening post says you’ve been reading hc threads for 2 years, then how the fuck did you miss spritzers general disposition, man up and grow some, your sensitivity is making me puke,

I dialled back the bias from 20mA to 17.2mA, installed a 562k resistor in parallel over one of the 175k resistors and achieved 24.8V bias voltage across the 20k resistor and Vce of the PZTA42 is 13.25V. Thanks to simmocon on this for the ground work for the 400V Carbon! The offsets on troubled board (after dialling down the bias) drift slowly down from around 5V. Still not sure why at 20mA bias I was getting no drift, I’ll leave that a mystery.

Yes Identical bias for all 4 phases, I have it all out on the bench now and will test and probe to see what I can find. As well as implementing simmocon’s mod for 400V.
