I could be wrong, but the simplicity of the amps from the pics is as amazing as anything. Compare it to XA.5 stuff. Wow!

 

[Zen Mod]

observe closer - main boards are in 2 floors

dunno what's exactly on none of them

OK - I'm having some ideas , but that's covering maybe 20% of real circuit

edit : just remembering mentioning of those "modulated cascodes" makes me feel a little hysteric

 

[buzzforb]

I too remember that comment , even if it is beyond me. That input stage is beautifuly simple and oddly familiar, you must admit.

 

[Zen Mod]

I have a feeling that I'm on inch of grasping that thing ( mod. casc.) but it didn't snapped , yet .


maybe it never will

it is certainly in front of our noses , all the time ........ I'm just missing few critical Lego's

 

[buzzforb]

Those same damn Legos are always getting away. Kids must have them.

I knew I should have gone to SR in person, duct tape that guy, and feather tickle the universe out of him.

Typical, not the simplest task can be delegated to staff personnel, you have to do everything yourself.

(Ouch, that's one hefty looking preamp, and some lytic assembly in the PS)

 

[Zen Mod]

I confess - fully guilt

NB - I wasn't allowed to approach even 100 mile SR perimeter .........

 

[wayne]

The XS amps have 112 output devices per channel including the current source.

 

[Zen Mod]

funny

I got same number (72+40) , but I resume that you're little better informed than Mighty Moi

 

[Nelson Pass]

Yes, Wayne often has to debug my artwork.

We have long had a friendly competition - he lets the software debug his
art, and I insist on doing it manually (too lazy to learn software).

For a while, we were on par with error counts. Now he is winning. I think
he is secretly checking the work manually also.

 

[Zen Mod]

I hope you're going to toss out those (inside) just-for-beauty c-bank covers , for production pieces ;

let them appreciate that hollow inside look

 

[buzzforb]

I think he is worried he will upset others. Perhaps put Albert Enstein pick in bottom to fill space.

@ buzz

not putting that pic ditto in thread (just linking it ) is sort of blasphemy

 

[buzzforb]

Done from sons ipod touch in early morning. Forum doesnt likie apple handheld prodcuts. Never have figured out how to post pic from them. My short circuit, I am sure. It would be awesome to open a $65k amp and have Nelsons versions of pic staring you in the face.

People that can afford $65K amps pay other people to open them up...

 

[buzzforb]

Where do I apply?

 

[Zen Mod]

that's why I own Official PL Disposal Facility

Ah, finally I see where I went wrong, up till now I only got paid to shut them up.
