This is an aes k-502, some of you may have seen it on the delsol discussion. The case cover has ventilation now which helps keeping things cool. I'll do a few more minor cosmetic changes but it's pretty much the stock amp & board.

Headphone amp 6c4pi + 6c45pi

Newly assembled headphone amp (the picture was taken meanwhile - the actual will be posted tomorrow).

The amp uses Russian tubes:
- voltage amp: 6C4PI with LED bias
- output stage: 6C45PI with Si diode bias and choke loaded cathode follower + output cap.

Headphones: Sennheiser 420SL, (designed for Philips HP1000)
Weight: 8,5 kg bare.

The design is proved to be ok: detailed and godd bass, still some hum.

Aikido Preamp

Folks:

It took me over a year to plan, lay out and build this Aikido preamp, and along the way a lot of people helped. Special thanks go to Bas Horneman (http://home.zonnet.nl/horneman/) and Mikkel Simonsen (http://electronics.dantimax.dk/); Bas supplied the John Broskie-approved Aikido PCBs and Mikkel supplied the Dantimax remote control system. Both Bas and Mikkel provided a lot of support to this newbie. The preamp is built in two ATI Research enclosures; the power supply box sports 3 transformers -- two are dedicated to the preamp and power supply circuits and the other is dedicated to the remote control system. In the preamp box, the Dantimax Control2 PCB and the LCD display are shielded behind an aluminum bracket and copper sheeting assembly, while the preamp PCBs sit above a piece of stainless steel.

The preamp sounds great: open, detailed and airy. Wonderful soundstage and excellent resolution. There is no discernable hum. I used my Hagtech FryKleaner to burn the Aikido in and have been enjoying the results ever since.

I may add a few improvements -- the RCA connectors may be upgraded to Cardas plugs I have on hand, some T-pads may be installed to lower the gain slightly and an on/standby indicator LED (based on Jim Hagerman's circuit at http://www.hagtech.com/pdf/led.pdf) may be added to the power supply enclosure.

Otherwise, this preamp is done. Time to consider new projects!

Regards,
Scott
