September 13, 201411 yr Thanks guys!Looking good!!! That SumR looks awfully small though... That is a really odd photo, it does make the Sumr look tiny, it's the bog standard RC0100 050 12, 110 x 44mm.
September 13, 201411 yr and done... I’m looking forward to listening session with BHSE for a comparison. When I get time I’ll take some shots with the 5D, only crappy iphone pics for now...
September 13, 201411 yr I like the silver look. You could contact Modushop as they will sell you silver side panels.
September 13, 201411 yr I like the silver look. You could contact Modushop as they will sell you silver side panels. Thats cool to know! I may change it at some stage. I initially draw up side panels for Cam-Expert to mill in silver, but they don’t have multi axis capability. The only parts I purchased from modushop was the black side panels and the black knob.
September 14, 201411 yr Hey John, just noticed you're in Sydney! Very slick build - just wondering, where'd you source the rest of the panels (front, bottom, top)? I'm in Brissie.
September 15, 201411 yr Hey John, just noticed you're in Sydney! Very slick build - just wondering, where'd you source the rest of the panels (front, bottom, top)? I'm in Brissie. Nothing local I'm afraid, was all done in the States by Cam Expert. Reasonable prices, good communication and they'll quote overnight.
September 19, 201411 yr I am struggling a bit to find a 787k high-voltage resistor for the bias-supply on my 450V PSU. The only thing I can find is Mouser p/n 594-HVR2500007873FR5. The voltage rating is fine (1.6 kV) but it is only rated 1/4W - is that enough? //UFN
September 29, 201411 yr Some PCB's arrived today which prompted me to take this photo, how far we have come in 4 years: On the left the brand new mini KGSSHVk stereo board and on the right the first version KGSSHV mono board. Naturally to make the stereo board we had to make compromises so only the output stage is on full size sinks while the gain stage active devices and the CCS sand share two sinks for both phases. That means I had to pick a CCS type and IXYS it was just to make it easier to build. Only K170 input fets are supported but this one does have servo which the old design didn't have.
September 29, 201411 yr Still working on my "normal" KGSSHV, but that looks very cool! //UFN EDIT: Left out the obvious part: Want one! Edited September 29, 201411 yr by UFN
September 30, 201411 yr Oopsie, guess I'm a bit late then eh. Just started stuffing mine. New boards look sweet!
October 2, 201411 yr I'm getting around to building my 0.6 KGSSHV boards. I've already gone through the off-board amps to check all the parts against one of the BOMs out there. I'm working on going through the power supply (mine say Production Rev 0.6) but there doesn't seem to be a good BOM/schematic. Can anyone pass one along? Also my boards have STTH1512 screened on them for the rectifier voltage diodes but I notice on newer versions of the board are using the STTH1210D. Is that the known substitute? Thanks in advance.
October 2, 201411 yr Thought the RN55/60D's no good for the amp boards due to inductive coating and limiting wall with the rated working voltage?
October 2, 201411 yr No problem using the RN60D, I've used them in all my amps. The diodes need to be isolated and the right voltage but other than that just use what ever you can find.
October 3, 201411 yr Oopsie, guess I'm a bit late then eh. Just started stuffing mine. New boards look sweet! Just curious, where did you get your 2sa1486s? Edited October 3, 201411 yr by mypasswordis
October 3, 201411 yr I got all the sands from Satodenki. They only seem to take bank transfer from within Japan, unfortunately, so I had a friend help me out there.
October 3, 201411 yr Thanks! I might hit Justin up for a few if he still has some for sale, that seems like an easier option. Need to buy some Stax jacks from him anyway.
October 6, 201411 yr I’m looking forward to listening session with BHSE for a comparison. So am I, we're due to catch up... Awesome build btw!
October 9, 201411 yr So am I, we're due to catch up... Awesome build btw! Way over due, miss you Tom! I'll organise something sooner rather than later.
