    Dynahi questions (which item to buy?)

    Quote: Originally Posted by Kruemelix Do the HS-TWS heatsinks also fit for the amp board? The origin of the HS-TWS heatsinks stems from the fact they were cheap, readily available, and about the right size. They are not special in any particular way. If you can scrounge for...

    What is a DC servo?

    Think of a servo as a mathematical building block that INTEGRATES the small amount of DC signal on the amp's output. This is continuously added up over a time period of several seconds or more and stored on a capacitor in the feedback loop of a simple opamp circuit. The voltage on the servo's...

    Design of a Dynalo Power Supply

    The dynalo and dynahi amps have a very similar circuit topology. Both have relatively poor power supply rejection. So, very quiet power supplies and tracking circuits are a way to maximize overall performance. I think that a simple LM317 / LM337 circuit or a 7815 / 7915 circuit solution is...

    Dynahi PS + smoke = BAD

    I have been meaning to post something helpful to the victims of OPA541 smokage. I'm not sure that I can. This same thing happened to me several months ago when I built up my first Dynahi PSU board. At that time, I was using a 38VAC transformer which was way too high, and I was also using a...
