I know how hard business can be right now. Take care of it.
You have helped many of us out with this project, and I for
one have to thank you. Good luck with the new accounts.

Here's a quick shot of mine.

That's cool. I'm curious who's build was it? Hybrid or Solid State?

THINK it's mine - a red board proto hybrid. I'm waiting on Kerry's observation, comparing that with his from-scratch Blue Hawaii build. Maybe JP will weigh in as well... btw, this will all hopefully show in the NY meet impressions thread (I am watching).

Edit: Understood Ari had one as well - Nate???

Keith, is everything sorted on yours? And, NABU for the win.

I've go a quad of 6s4a's coming in. I think moving over to the 115vac
lead of the transformer seems to be better. The rails hold steady just under 300vdc.
I still get drift on the outputs and to ground, but I'm hoping
the new tubes help. Either way, it sounds good. I may still change out
the 91 volt zeners for 100volt zeners. There is enough extra to do it now.
Before, the +/- sometimes went down to 313vdc, and the rails dropped
a volt or two. I think it's safe to say there may be a couple of my other
Stax amps for sale soon.

Yeah Al, it was your ExStata at the meet, and she was sounding mighty fine with JP's SR404ltd and Ari's DEQ2496. Really looking forward to getting the few bits I still need for my SS build. Sure was hot though.

 

[pabbi1]

Thanks, Colin... you and Nate need to get it in gear... and let me know if I can help with those bits...

Going old school tonight with Depeche Mode (pre Violator), The Smiths, Mighty Lemon Drops, Echo & The BunnyMen, Smithereens, and a little Styx. Nothing throws this amp, especially with the better source.

Ok, except the stupid clips on Monster Magnet...

 

[Scooba]

Well, thanks to Anthony, I've joined the build team

.
I already have all the components for the amp (SS), but I still have to order the ones for the power source (except transformer) .
Which brigs me one problem: I can not find FQP3P50 . It seems that nobody has it on stock . Can it be replaced with something else ?

After some digging, I found MTP2P50EG - are these ok (75W max, 2A) ?

He's waiting on bits from me... Long running trade for his old RP18s.

They'll be in next week and flipped quickly so he'll be ready to build in a week.

EDIT:He might be waiting on jacks from Marc too, yeah, that's it!

understand........good luck with your work!

Hello all. I've read this thread with great interest. I really want one of these amps, but don't have the skills to build it completely myself. I've only done passive circuits like crossovers and filters. It's hard to start with a 600V one!

Anyone here interested in building a hybrid ExStatA? Otherwise, anyone know someone in the New York area who I can lean from? I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd try.

Finally got around to making a sound recording of the buzz my PSU makes on power up. The file attached is the best I can do with a webcam mike and Head-Fi's file size limit - hope it is acceptable to give an idea of what is going on.

I still can't find anything else wrong, the PSU works as normal when the buzzing stops, and the buzzing doesn't happen when the PSU is warm......

 

[runeight]

This is helpful. If you can try listening to the bias section near the power inlet and see if the noise is coming from there.

 

[runeight]

I mean the power inlet terminal on the PS board.

I couldn't get the MP3 to extract for some reason.
