Don' t you love those big Antek shileds?
That is the first time I purchased it together with the transformer and I plan use it since all these parts of amp will go into single box. I hope it will block all magnetic interference. Ergonomically it looks nice and designed well mechanically.
Very nice Alex. BTW I was listening to Mercury Living Presence Moscow sessions LP set today morning and I remembered you telling us about classical musicians during the Soviet era in the FSP thread.
Hi Salas,
Thank you.
What exactly Mercury Living Presence Moscow do you have?
In general, I need your advice for good sounding LPs. I have small collection and I'm looking for its expansion. What is your favours? ...
.Thank you.

And especially Prokofiev piano concerto and some balalaika tunes!
This one had excellent vivacity, natural tonality, and overall power too despite the evident tape hiss. PROKOFIEV LIEUTENANT KIJE STRAVINSKY SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE REINER CSO (200G LP) at Music Direct

This one excellent too, especially the Enescu Romanian Rapsody.

Yep, that is what I like too.
Thank you. I already made purchases, beside "Hungarian Rhapsody No.2".

It is an eBay sale and I'm not sure about authenticity....
Can't wait to turn on my TT with these LPs.
Thank you very much.
BTW, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, both are my favours from Russian sector. Can't understand Alfred Schnittke and Igor Stravinsky....
To much disharmony for me...
Hi Salas,
One more question just to be sure....
I set my 2 BIBs boards for 300mA with 4 green LEDs and 12R Caddock for R301s.
My headphone amp uses about 150mA, or so.
All Q306 and Q301 are at room temperature or close, and R301 is warm ( about 40 deg C).
Is it normal?
I remember, in my BHL, Q306 and Q301 are runs really warm....
R301 is warm too.
Here they kind of cold.
Thank you.

One of my favorite LPs... I got this twice
If analogue productions re-issues it with the rest I will buy it at least once more
Unfortunately the SACD is not nearly as awesome...
+1 for Stravinsky... he has some good moments, but not really my cup of tea...
Means you can utilize more spare current in this new one. Your Vin-Vout, sinks size, and high enough headphone amp consumption resulting in lukewarm operation at now CCS level say that you may try 400mA+ and stop where the temperature becomes uncomfortable. 50C on sinks should be safe. Usually you can hear a subjective upgrade by doing that. Objectively the regulator's output impedance falls by few milliOhm further. Don't forget to verify the now and then running current by measuring the voltage drop across the setting resistor and then divide it by its value in Ohm.
Based on V-drop across R301 and 12 Ohm value, my current in-use is about 250mA. Please see attached picture.
So, if I'll go for 8.2 Ohm my set will go to 416mA (calculation based on your "SSLV1.1 Calculator V1a.xls").

Kean got back with the answer.
So, no problem to run original KM (design with LED) up to needed 400mA, but need to add some input capacitance for these who calculated ripple based on lower current. In my case, we used extra capacitance at the beginning and I'm OK to run it as is. Going to purchase Caddock MP930 8R or 8.2R for R301 today. Update you as soon as possible.
