The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!

Recommended Posts

I'm just waiting to get these back.  They are my shrunk down boards.  The chassis is going to be 12" x 14.3" x 3.3".  This will be the same as the power supply.

Most everything is SMD now and I'm looking forward to stuffing this in a couple of weeks (I've got all the parts).

The boards support two styles of batteries (jfet/LED or LT1021-10).  Also they support both the original CSS as well as the 10m90s / DN2540 (thanks to JimL).

I have to give props to Kevin and Birgir who did the original layouts.  This thing is a beast with over 540 components.

G600, Methinks it would also be a good idea to remove the flux from the board as a matter of concern.

At these voltages, it's very advisable to limit the chances of leakage between connections caused by the flux.

Gentlemen, it's christmas obviously.

Today my T2 is making its first playback. I have just received a Birgir modified 007A. Yes, I haven't owned anything from Stax since today.

It sounds so effortless and so wonderful... and weired noise free even with my 95 % Takman build (no Xicons, Inu's style).

After 10 months of careful building, it's alive. Maybe the first KGT2 in France ?

If there is a Xmas magic, I must have tasted it today.
