There are 2 different amps, but this amp will also have the tubes on top, on a different way.
The other one is (more or less) built as SOHA II prototype according to the specs, without modifications and running at lower B+ voltage (95V).

Jeff and I finalized them last night. The PCB house reported back two small errors as a result of adding alternate caps to the original board. We fixed those. So, without speaking for Jeff, I think the final production order goes in today. Send him a PM.

Hehee… playing with Cockroft Walton voltage multiplier is fun, I can tell you.
And if you have some appropriated parts in your parts bin to play with (accidentally) … more fun.

However in this case, the fun is limited by the TI regulator.

BTW, if size is a problem, you (Uncle Bob) can use smaller value/size CE3, for example 47uF and change the value of RE5 to 1MΩ. Functionally, the circuit is unchanged!

However I am sure that it should not be too difficult to find 8mm caps elsewhere.



Thanks for that info, having had it confirmed by the gurus that using 16V parts isn't going to cause issues then getting 8mm caps is no longer a problem.

Whilst we're talking about the e12 circuit, am I right in thinking that any 12V dpdt or dpco relay with a coil rating of less than 150mW will be OK?

(sorry if this was already clarified but I'm still a bit in holiday mode)

Yes, the new regulated HV B+ ~(55V-100V) is incorporated on the main SOHA II board. (There is thus no child board).

Gewa, the website has been updated for a few days now, including new images, new schematics, and new parts lists. Have you looked?

Edit: I see that I posted on top of Ferrari's post.
