Thanks to UE for sponsoring, and to MrSpeakers for organising the meet. It was great to meet some names and listen to some incredible gear.

Thanks to UE for sponsoring the meet, and MrSpeakers for getting it going.   cp8ir is the discman/Rega Apollo/Heed/K501 person, i poached the Rega for the EHHA   i think my fav was either the Omega or the HP2, hard to pick one. I wanted to spend more time with the KGSSHV, but perhaps...

  If anyone wants to bring extra power cables, i have a nice collection of stock cables to compare with.   Also do people wander about with their own sources? I am unbalanced so all my gear is rca input, with TRS out.

Livewire pointed this out to me. I should be able to come, bring what i can, EHHA rev A, eXStatA, some cans, maybe a TT and or R2R deck. What part of town are you thinking of?

  another ex-edmontonian   i  miss the seasons, and the clear skies in the winter   don't miss the spring slush though   Quote:

i thought that there was a lip cut into the cup. how wide is the inside of the cup? but post them all, i am sure someone else will come along and ask too.

i have looked in this thread, and elsewhere for this:   What is the diameter of the early Stax transducers?   ta

Does anyone know the inner machined diameter of the cup? And how deep the cup is from that point?

Q3 and Q4 are not mounted facing the same way.   Looking from the top, one long side is shorter than the other. That shorter side (with the marking IIRC) goes toward the close edge on Q3 and away on Q4.  Look at the old thread posts 1266 and 1271, you can sort of see the orientation there.

As an update, mounting screws for Mosfets and 3X7 regs are about 60 degrees C That is after about an hour idling. I do see very large offsets on power up.

i went with the 50VA version

Thanks guys,   Sachu, that is mosfet   i have in my mind to set this up as a speaker amp in the end, but that will be a while off. i think your estimate of three hours was pretty good, for you. I think it was proabably closer to four for mortals like me.

Here is where i am:   getting there   And with sockets

This week was slower than planned, but i should have a running amp tomorrow at the latest. I have everything but time..............

i saw that mouser seems to be out of all fairchild parts, esp for this amp. Are they available elsewhere?

i can only say i have mine

TAW has the 10% version in stock

Quote: I was going to order the anteks yesterday, but thought i should wait to see how jdk works out. The next size up antek 0532 "specs" out 1.5V higher at about the same current, 31.5V @0.7A versus 30V @0.79A. That should get the secondaries up to 30V.   I think i will order...

i guess i will start building then   i was going to order the same anteks yesterday, but i think i will wait a few days to see if the SumR shows up and is any better.

Looks fantastic, well done!!!!
