Perhaps Justin could let known once he's ended building BHSE's, whether he'll start building KGSSHV Carbons.

That would be really cool, especially since there's only one other guy making them regularly right now.

I believe Birgir doesn't build amps commercially, so anyone wanting a KGSSHV Carbon built by him would have to have the money when one is available.

Good point. Still, nobody else has got everything in place yet to build one (unless @kevin gilmore has put one together for personal use), especially since there was a revision to the PSU.

there are 5 carbon's out there, soon to be 6.
 
there are multiple versions of the power supply and more for different size boxes every day.
the latest ones use the 550V caps and are much smaller physically, but a fair bit more money.

 

[David1961]

I've seen mentioned elsewhere that Birgir could have a mini carbon in the works.

My Carbon is underway, waiting on the SiC devices. Also thinking about what to do for heatsinks. 
 
Mini boards for the carbon already exist, specific artwork for both left and right channels

Geoff may also do a run of Carbons.

final version of the small power supply posted
 
suitable for
 
kgsshv(450v)
BH (400v)
Megatron(400v)
carbon (450v or 400v)
srx2 (350V)
KGST (400v or 350v)
etc
 
kgsshv 500v still requires the 4 capacitor board
 
final circlotron power supply posted (900v x 2)

Holy crap, every time I see the numbers for the circlotron they still blow my mind. What's that designed to drive, 845s?

 

[NoPants]

it's the same as -/+450 without ground, but they can drive DHTs apparently. 900 probably on the low side, but frank can chime in there

 

[jgazal]

it's the same as -/+450 without ground

Just in case:

and remember that the output wires on the power supply have to be at least 1kv rated

 

[David1961]

@ Kevin,

The KGSSHV Carbon I've seen built by Birgir is a one box, so will there be any two box versions like the BHSE or DIY T2 ?

Justin, can you please check PM I wanted to confim you received my payment for BHSE! Thank you!
