the resistors are just there to make sure its stable with nothing plugged into it.

change the input resistors to as low as possible compatible with what is going to drive it.

10k is probably what i would do.

Thanks, Kevin.

At the moment I only had 50kΩ resistors on hand. After replacing the input resistors with 50kΩ, the background noise is almost completely gone. There's still a very slight hiss/current noise, so I may also try adding a small pF-range capacitor to ground for some additional RF filtering.

I also noticed something a bit strange with my layout. On my board, installing the 470pF capacitor causes the output voltage to rise very close to the raw DC rail, whereas using a 5pF capacitor doesn't cause that behavior. I'm not sure if it's layout-related or if I've made a mistake somewhere.

Has anyone else run into this issue with their build?

  • This might be too crazy for me but why not go further.  I happen to have a couple of 30kWh, 400V battery packs so a DC-DC converter and make it "portable"?

    so here is the latest version of the kgsshv-carbon  with the c3m series parts including the current source. Good for up to +/-600v power supplies. board file updated.     kgs

  • Merry Christmas  I made the output board for D&G and tested it with +/-400V and 845 tubes. Seems to be working as there's 44v across the cathode resistor. I was planning on using +/-1250
