Very beautiful build Geoff. Eye catching aesthetics. Polished and modern look. I know it sounds great, asI have your boards.

That heat sink is giving me ideas... :)

Thanks for making your PCBs available to all. The KGST is spoiling me.

 

Thank you - I am pleased with it but I received help on the aesthetics, and the pcbs are not mine but Birgir and KG.  This hobby owes them a massive debt.

    After almost three and a half months, the KGST is finally in operation, and is sounding great. Thanks to all who have responded to my questions and given guidance. I am really surprised at  how good t

  • Thanks to the NYC Spring Meet yesterday, I was motivated to finish casing up my KGST.  I'm very happy with the result.  The chassis is 7" x 12.8". Perfect for my night table   Here's the beast in i

Well then you are a modestly grand chef, cooking with only the finest ingredients. :)

Not to deminish in any way the debt owed to Birgir and Kevin. I would never had ventured into Staxland if not for the generosity of their work.

I really like that one.  :)  I have something very special on the backburner for the "ultimate" KGST and I need to move it ahead in the row of priorities. 

 

Today the first GES Mk2 is taking shape with the new PCB's.  Roughly half the size of the Woo Mk1 unit and it's fully balanced, with a better PSU and far less distortion...  ;D

... Ring illuminated mains switch by me.

You made your own switch? How did you do about doing that?

Looks great! What PSU did you use? Is there any sign of the heatsink fins raising the temperature of the PSU or transformer?

My own design; 3mm anodised aluminium alloy panels, thick machined FP.  Knob turned by me, Ring illuminated mains switch by me.

 

My original design was a little more ordinary, the style was the input of Julian Hoyes of incredibledesign.co.uk

 

Nice build!

I'm not sure he meant he made the switch himself. Don't be a dick.

Nice design Geoff.  It really looks beautiful :D

A nice build indeed. Like the vent holes pattern.

The board set is as the pcb GB. The overall amount of heat is the same, it is more easily dissipated.

 

On the mains switch; the RIMS was to get away from the separate little LED for a change, but still keep the advantage of a large, easily operated pushbutton.

 

And thank you for your kind comments.

now you need a 2 color power switch

 

warming is one color, on is a different color

(from joamat's T2 boards)

Just build in a small bell from a microwave that does the "ping" sound whenever the T2 is ready to go.

For a one light solution, what about flashing the light while warming up and then solid light to show powered on and ready?

what have you been tweaking between your versions?

That's what my mother used to ask me when I would stay too long in my room with the door closed.
