Threshold Stasis 2. - Page 4

hi steenoe and jacco
now i've completed a first 12 hours run.
the temp is about 40 ° C. and bias set 0.75 amp on both channel; offset is 10 mv on one chanel and 60mv on the other...
have to trim those 47R and 33R resistors in the diff pair, as I changed these to BC550c.

yes you have to cross the speaker wires, unless you display the back of the amp in your setup.

Thats a pretty sight, doc

I really do not get this right/left thing on the rear panel

Hmmm, I guess my old friend has to wait a bit, before his amp is getting fixed! I simply do not have the time at this point, to make a larger restoring

Doc, do you have a specific opinion about what is causing the oscilation?? Maybe the Tantal's as you mentioned, or the trimpots?? If I had something specific, I might give it a shot

Thanks in advance

Steen

BTW I measured 40 deg C on the healthy channel and 50 deg C on the other.

Hey guys, your not serious, are you???

To read them correct you must end those comments with a

As a matter of fact, this is actually correct

At first I did take several readings on the rear panel, and had to conclude the facts: they actually swapped right/left on the silkscreening

Well, the guy doing this could be somehow excused, I guess

Looking at the rearpanel from aft, would imply that the right channel is at the left and "vica verca"

yes that' correct, but I presume that for maintenance point of vue, if you work on it, the PCB, are on the back as are the bias pots, its seems easier to .
anyway even if they crossed sides, the diode bargrap display is ok!

Just to let you guy's know, I decided to deliver the amplifier back to the (unhappy

) owner at this point

It was quite a hard decision, but I simple do not have the time for a major workover at this point. Besides, it is way too hot in Denmark, to do big soldering jobs right now

Thanks a lot for your inputs, anyway

I will keep you posted if (probably when!)
I take it it on again

What, you guys in Denmark dont have air conditioning?
well in Paris it is about 20°c now

Well I think I've finished my rebuilt, I hope it will last another 25 years...
I'll be pleased to hear about you...

I am sure we have like 30C now, I feel for a swim right now! Lucky enough
to have Denmarks nicest beach, 500 meters away

Well, the guy actually took the hole thing in a cool way. He would look for a ML! He has a pair of big Apogee clones, and they really demand some power. Those darn speakers, which are very well build indeed, are the size of a door

But the impedance is hopeless

Otherwise, I would have made an Aleph for him, of course

The chassis with heatsinks could house an Aleph 5

When he gets those ML buy his Stasis

Assuming that he still wants to sell it.
