KGSSHV Carbon Build Thread
I use momentary switches, they have a nice tactile feel, something like this works well: https://au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Schurter/124166311120000?qs=lNltUIKtpkeBG%2Br9r7bWEA%3D%3D I really dislike the the tarty, latching and overused illuminated switches. So then you can use a a solo LED for the power indicator, I find it helps your amp from not looking like a door bell. You’ll need a driver switch circuit of some sorts with a relay, but well worth the effort.

I think SPOX are limited to 250V, in saying that they are great connectors from my experience.

and now for something completely different part 3
Long time between drinks, been working on this for a few months and finally got my panels back. It’s going to be a dual mono GRLV PS with a quartet of CFA2’s, balanced in and out using a Goldpoint 10k 47 position stepper.

New KEF LS50 Meta & LS50 Wireless II
I like the wireless II’s a lot, the app is solid and very intuitive, the sound improvement is impressive, all aspects seem to have taken a performance leap. My main gripe with the first generation beside the shitty app is treble harshness, which is more evident since the II’s arrived. I still like the old version though, it’s doing still doing duties in an upstairs system and sounds great. Not a fan of the II’s matte finish... and titanium looked much better in photos.

and now for something completely different part 3
That makes sense now, and after re-reading the data sheet the default value is 50K, but it does state they can accommodate 10K, 20K and 100K... probably as a special order of no less than 200pcs haha. Earlier today I reached out to Alps Alpine, I may get lucky, if not there's a 10K Goldpoint 47 stepper.

Cannot find a quad 10k RK50 pot anywhere, mouser have the 50k in stock... Is 50k pot ok for CFA2?

PC Board for Amveco PC mount low profile toroidial transformers
The ones on eBay are only suitable for 15/25VA sizes. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bare-PCB-mounting-PCB-install-circuit-board-for-Talema-seal-transformer-Square/132276238616?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Would be pretty simple to breadboard, ensuring you use stand-offs and insulate the underside.
