He uses as far as I know the inductor solution, you need more heatsinks for your CCS!That's it?!?!?! That's all?Tell me they go into the case, please!
Had no idea it could be that small!! The extra heat sink I have are at least that big, maybe bigger.
Also have 8 heat sinks that are bigger than that one, if I take apart my Zen v1. I used the transfo from the Zen 1. It ran at 2 amps.
did I mention I have 2 extra 2sk82s not in use?
Nice wood case.

I feel better.
This I was the one I returned to always when I looked for a comparison for the MU. Very calm, balanced and relaxed sound...
Got the resistors juanitox...thanks
What did you use as an alternative ?
hammond 193 choke , not so much different in sound but half of the power supply needed

How's the imaging and depth?
You could use those for lots of things. If you don't have the actual spec, I'd estimate one to be around .8-1.0 C/W.
Incidentally, the SIT scales reasonably well, which is to say: for a smaller amp use a little less Vds, and a little less idle current. This requires a little more experimentation on your part but isn't a big deal. For a starting point, just change them in proportion and see what you get. This also works well with the inductor-loaded versions, which have the benefit of greater efficiency.

Thanks Mike. Inductor version looks interesting. Also, interestingly enough, my first electronics book back before the Internet, described class A amps with an inductor or transformer to improve effeceincey at better than 20%.
I think it said 45-50%, which sounds high (to me) for class A.
Juanitox mentioned a Hammond 193 choke. There are several versions of based on voltage or current rating. They can go up to 3 amps.
I think it's the 193v. The choke would have to be able to handle at least 3A, correct?

You could theoretically acheive 50% efficiency, but there are always some losses in the inductor.

There are a couple of open frame chokes with better specs and are dirt cheap. There's a $45 difference. Sounds too good to be true. Somethings off. Core type?
