is it possible that each kit I received had 2 extra sk117 and 3 extra leds?

It's in one's best interest to measure the IDSS of all your 2SK's. Try to use 3-5mv ones only if possible. If you got to use higher IDSS one's the build guide mentions where to stuff them

Got my boards!

they look great

 

[Gricko]

My boards arrived today. They look great!!!Thank you Tea-Bag,Salas and CRT!

Yes, me too thanks to Tea-Bag

 

[necplusultra]

I was so eager to start filling the board that I did not measure the 117's. I'll desolder and measure those. Leds are not yet soldered in. I skipped over some of the guide so lesson learned is RTFM.

thanks for info and the kits TB & Salas

 

[LucasAdamson]

Haha - I just deciphered RTFM. True indeed.

 

[Tea-Bag]

I used to work with a guy who's licence plate was RTFM.

 

[LucasAdamson]

For those of us not native English speakers, it roughly translates to

"read the manual"

 

[AndrewT]

I'm a native english speaker and I didn't know.
But then again, I don't use language like that

 

[necplusultra]

with a colorful adjective before the manual!
... or is it used as a verb? perhaps an adverb but definitely not a noun in this case.

 

[LucasAdamson]

But Andrew, surely it translates as, "Read the FULL manual" Right?

 

[palmito]

Or "read the fine manual"...

 

[necplusultra]

if you change the manual's color font to #FF00FF

you would have to "read the Fuschia manual"

 

[acidbrain]

LOL, luckily this is not the build thread.

 

[Salas]

The ''FINE'' manual also says not to sweat much over IDSS because it will work anyway. You can get not so bright LEDS and lower Rset to reach target CCS if a low IDSS JFET happens feeding them, a not following Vo examples Vref, or a hotter BC550/560 in high Vo situations. Its good to have it balanced but if you had soldered them in, give it a go first. The GR JFETs don't spread more than 3mA apart if you get a bit lucky.

 

[Franz Gysi]

I received my boards and kits today.

Thanks for all effort and also for postponing my order, as I was in vacation. Special service!

About the results, I will post in the build thread soon.

I've got my regs together now. Anxious to fire this thing up. Looks ready for business with the OnSemi MSRF's, Panasonic 10,000uF caps, 10uF KEMET MMK's everywhere, Vishay 5W wirewounds, black Molex terminal blocks....etc. Just need to get my DAC chassis plate re-drilled. I'll sink the fet's to the floor, as the chassis plate is very thick aluminum.

Lots of people are building PS for their Buffalo DACs.

Boards received, thanks.
