April 2, 201412 yr If I can find the time then I'll start testing it today. That plus another small HV...
April 2, 201412 yr Said fuck it to other things requiring my attention... It lives but I haven't done any testing except for balance/offset etc. Now for some not so fun wiring...
April 3, 201412 yr ...an hour or so later spent wrangling wires it was alive. I went for orange as the power indicator to try something different... No hum noticeable with the headphones but I'll measure it when I get a chance. Running at 9mA and the sinks get warm but not hot. Next one will be run harder but the really neat part is that aside from the 2SA1968's everything is in current production.
April 3, 201412 yr I can't believe you guys haven't seen the light with pluggable PCB connectors. Amen to that. Still - a terrific build!
April 3, 201412 yr I solder everything where I can. Can't stand the pluggable stuff. Edit: Ohh and this amp sound fucking fantastic!!! Edited April 3, 201412 yr by spritzer
April 3, 201412 yr Some comparison shots, remember that the 727 is the exact same size as the 007tA... Suck it Stax!!!
April 3, 201412 yr Some comparison shots, remember that the 727 is the exact same size as the 007tA... Suck it Stax!!! I recall Stax saying that improvements on the current line would mean large heatsinks and that was supposed to increase costs more than the audible benefits. Now you have regulated power supply, more current and more voltage in comparable package. Nice proof of concept. I hope Stax licenses the boards from KG to mass market a similar platform. Do you think EI transformers with same current would fit? Congratulations!
