i wonder if i have something wrong in the dac section, or if one of the chips is bad. I can easily set the voltage without the dac stage, connect it and it drops one wont budge past 5.16.
I have a couple of high idss 170sk's so i can try that the 2sk170s were matched at 7ma idss. first i will pull the dac chips and see. As i said though, its sounds great and nothing is getting hot, so maybe you are right, its just coming up short.

quangho: Do you have 2 more Salas shunt pcb´s to sell to me?
If you have I´ll pay you imidiately by paylpal.

I may have my head on backwards but are L1 and L3, L6 and L8, L11 and L13 mislabeled on the Salas board. On the schematic I see R1 connecting to anode of L1 but on the board it connects to L3 etc.
I am assuming flat side of LED label on board is cathode.
Thanks

Hi! The Salas shunt low is exelent, and the PCb is not wrong, it is easy adjust V-out, now you can adjust to 5.6V.
After R 10 Ohm and Tl 431 lost about 0.3-0.5V.
You can check abut the 2 LED and Trimer
Hi! Admus. about the Salas shunt and the set curent for DAC you can see in the my image!

A simple mod with this could be to ditch the 47k resistors and build a simple cascode CSS with led ref (keeping the bias scheme). That would flatten the load line and probably reduce distortion a little (although its only 0.2% anyway! we arent swinging much voltage anyway, so i really am being picky i think. It would increase the gain too, which probably isnt wanted.
About the IV 5687. Andrea has mesure many the value or R Anod, so we are like 47K paralle.
About the Cascode with 2 led gree you can try to it, but i dont like the sound when use led.
you can try remove C by bass, I think you like sound .

I love 6h6pi and 6h30pi, i have been to design cricuit of use parallel 6h6 and 6h30 few year ago. I make many PCB for my friend, they was like them.
The sound is excellent, I love them. the and new pre818 I use 2 tube 6h30 or 6h6 parallel.
In this circuit, you can try do most for IV stage if you like it.
6h30 is better than 6h6.

No! i have not This I/V, I say you can mod I/V use 5687 for use 6h6p.
If you like i can gift for you one PCB 5687, and you cand mod it! it is easy!
at some point i am going to try this, or something very similar. A more modern twist on the iv stage.
Thats a very quick sketch up so probably many errors but the basic approach should be readable.
the 6n6p has 800ma heater current so a similar load to the 5687 so the PS could remain as it is.
Rset should be for 30ma, as its a paralellel arrangement. I would try it with just one side of the triode first to be honest.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Nice! but the Cap out put you cann use bigger!
Dont like CCS in anod for Tube 6h6, and 6h30

yes, it meant to say 1uf, as i said, its sketchup so many mistakes, and rather vital resistor values missing. I'll do some work on it when i get chance and perfboard it.
I have found an improvement with CSS. You do loose some of that romantic 'tube sound' as distortion drops significntly.

Yes I know it, CCS is very good with some kind of tube, but I really do not like CCS for 6h6 and 6h30 at anod.
The sound of it is skewed, not natural.
I agree with you about using LED instead of the resistance

Salas.
I am testing the shut reg for the +5 dig that wont go above 5.16.
Leds are dropping 3.92v and the trimmer is dropping 0.75v at 161 ohms. combined vref of 4.67
I through trimmer = 0.75/161 = 4.6ama, which seems low for the jfet (originally matched at 7ma idss @10v.
Strnage thing is, the trimmer has more turns left, but it doesnt affect the voltage.
any thoughts from the wizards?

board not connect i can set the voltage to 5.5 volts without problem.
Connect the board and the voltage drops to 5.16 max. its plays mucis very well, but something must be slightly wrong

Salas works well, not in it,
probably Board DAC have something wrong place, you can check please!
if you are in doubt about this?
so the voltage you measured at the foot of Cs8414 and 74hc04 is like?
