lightbulbs?
Actually, Nelson touched on an interesting topic: Does the balanced version of Zenlightenment sound similar to SOZ? Lightbulbs, as power resistors, dramatically reduce the need for heatsinks. Changing out a few bulbs is far easier than constructing heatsinks.
Any comments? Anyone? Anyone.............

Here it is, a stand up version of that autocad drawing.
The caps and the toroids are in place and i bolted one resistor and an apple for scale purposes( for those in the other side of the pond that can´t live with the metric system ;-)
Actually I'll put a light bulb in series with the primary of the transformer to work as a soft start circuit.
I couldn't find any lamps to work with a "son of zenlightment" configuration (down here we have 220V... so it would take about 8 lamps... :-(

Jan Didden:
yes they did cost that (?450+?100 for shipping!!!) (that is +-1/3 more that normal extrusion heatsinks in this factory
at least.
this is a special heatsink with rugged fins and some kind of hightech extrusion againt other heatsinks... see www.alutronic.com if you want

If you live in or near the GTA, Active Surplus usually has an excellent selection of large heat sinks. The 2 used in the pictures above were $10 CAD each, I sandblasted them, machined a frame and fashioned faceplates al with $50 CAD worth of material. The P/S is in a seperate enclosure.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
