March 25, 201412 yr comment_629163 I thought you liked cramped? Small is good but it isn't easy... Report

March 31, 201412 yr comment_629758 Any idea who this guy is? http://www.head-fi.org/t/711706/ic-kgsshv Report
March 31, 201412 yr comment_629759 That would be me. Not totally sold on the idea of selling kgsshv's though... Report
April 2, 201412 yr comment_629945 Well this does seem to fit, if a bit cramped... Not enough hot glue and JB Weld Report
April 2, 201412 yr comment_630029 If I can find the time then I'll start testing it today. That plus another small HV... Report
April 2, 201412 yr comment_630034 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... Report
April 3, 201412 yr comment_630160 ...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. Report
April 3, 201412 yr comment_630176 I can't believe you guys haven't seen the light with pluggable PCB connectors. Report
April 3, 201412 yr comment_630183 I can't believe you guys haven't seen the light with pluggable PCB connectors. Amen to that. Still - a terrific build! Report
April 3, 201412 yr comment_630187 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 Report
April 3, 201412 yr comment_630204 Some comparison shots, remember that the 727 is the exact same size as the 007tA... Suck it Stax!!! Report
April 3, 201412 yr comment_630226 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! Report
April 4, 201412 yr comment_630261 I'm loving so much about this build. You've really nailed it Congrats! Report
