May 4, 201511 yr comment_683827 That's a lovely build Kerry, great work. I really like your pursuit of miniaturised builds. Congratulations Report
May 4, 201511 yr comment_683858 Nice build, and the condition of that 007 is unusually pristine Report
May 4, 201511 yr comment_683876 Thanks for the compliments. This has been a really fun project for me. I've been listening to this for the last year or so. I needed to fix the servo and case it up. I finally got to that Report
May 9, 201511 yr comment_684642 Beautiful craftsman ship Kerry, but your knob is simply too whiny Report
May 9, 201511 yr comment_684686 My replacement SR-007A finally showed up from Japan (landed in Chicago at about midnight and showed up at my door in TX midday...pretty impressive considering the EMS is USPS domestic). I get to use the KGST with a Stax again....woot! Love this damn amp...really I do. If it turned into a pizza and beer at 2am, I might marry it. HS Report
May 18, 201511 yr comment_685931 For the power supply, I see that the silkscreen is not marked with extra space for a thermal pad for the FQPF8N80C transistors. Does that mean that I don't need an aluminum oxide ceramic pad for them? I can just use the Aavid TO220 4880SG kit with a metal screw and not worry about it? Report
May 18, 201511 yr Author comment_685933 those are insulated parts, so just regular thermal washer,screw and nut. Report
May 23, 201511 yr comment_686664 Hi,New here ish,read the forums but Don't chat as I can't build anything to save my life apart from Lego as a kid and weren't much good at that,us men slate women drivers and here is Kerry who can build amps that most of us fellas would only dream of owning,hat off to Ya,are you single ?

May 23, 201511 yr comment_686667 And can I just say hi to Kevin Gilmore,the depths of your intelligence is beyond me and if I had half your intelligence i wouldn't have to work in a factory all my life,your a genius and thanks to you I'll be buying one of your designed amps built by spritzer ,I don't think you realise how much you change peoples lives for the better through music Report
May 23, 201511 yr comment_686741 There are two zeners on the PSU board, connected to the FQPF8N80C MOSFETs. The silkscreen shows them as 24V, but a couple of BOMs floating around (this thread) suggest using TZX12D-TR, a 12V diode. I plan to follow the silkscreen, but just thought I'd double-check. Report
May 29, 201511 yr comment_687725 My KGST is done. What a wonderful sounding small amp it is! I still need to tidy up my wiring, but really can't wait to hear how it sounds. Edited May 29, 201511 yr by chinsettawong Report
