For their interesting contributions.

IMHO, There are several ways to make an adequate Power supply. And several ways to totally botch the job.

In the 1980's, I was totally against using solid state in a tube preamp. However, this was more about not using low voltage devices in high voltage circuits than anything else.
Now that high voltage transistors are available this is not a major consideration.
My first tube amp is going to be a platform to play with some of the discussions.
I want to try unregulated and regulated power supplies. I will probably start out with unregulated choke input supplies.

It...

What can I say. Its a pleasure to see a master at work.

In John's TCJ Blog He featured the Logitech power supplies For Duet and Squeezebox.

Since I have an SB3 and have been thinking of upgrading the power supply, this is a great source of inspiration to me.

This amplifier is also an example of original thinking. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42259

I think this design just made my bucket list.

Someone was discussing a SS version of a tube amp. Look for SS Tabor

Cool site.

There are a couple of SS transformer amps.

All of them look cool to me.

I have had my RAKK DAC going for a while now. Great DAC. I bought a case and the RAKK DAC passive board to replace the EDCOR transformers I was using and I am using the Shunt volume control to select the shunt resistor.

Goal is to get it done this week.
I will post pictures after its complete.

A series of posts by someone who's nom de plume is an obnoxious comedian. Wonderful.

Harmless. However, it takes up a lot of the board's energy for a time.
This too shall pass.

I haven't found "Texas" yet. The Mods used to post hilarious commentary along with the outrageous posts. As the board has matured, not so much. It was a deep fried Twinkies kind of guilty pleasure.

Bud is very enlightening.
Its a joy to have him comment positively about several companies.

Here is an example of engineering I admire.
