The "Tubesumo" and the Kypton V are where me and Vzaichenko's designs (traded) techniques. They are nearly identical.
The first Kypton V also did not play well with the Slew EF3. The extreme OLG of
of the 3 stage IPS highlights the baxandall super pair poles. I removed
the superpair enhancement on the V , and Thimios's test of it was stellar.
So , the Kypton V2 ... with the Valve instead of the BJT's (and minus the Baxandall)
Or , the Tubesumo design ... with the super-pair removed and the VAS Re adjusted .....,
should be very well behaved.
The only shortcoming of the Valve is the long startup time.
PS - I would prefer a nice matched pair JFET LTP over either the valve or BJT ...
best of both worlds !

Thanks Kind , but it's not impossible for me to type.
That last post would of taken me <1 min. two months ago.
3+ minutes today.
Some days it's easier , some harder.
Something like neurological degeneration is not like a broken leg or laceration.
Friends and family accuse you of inflating the discomfort (whining....).
It would be easier to just have a cast or bandage , the visual aspects are there.
So , a good part of my "contribution reduction" is psychological. It's very
depressing to have a condition that is "made fun of "(denigrated).
Concentrating on this hobby is much harder now as the condition progresses.
My attention span is not what it was when I started the Slewmaster.
PS - there are GNU equivalents to Dragon , some are even better.

Sorry for your loss , Kind.
I had the first symptoms around 2010 , I read ALS is a 5 year progression.
But that still leaves all the other degenerative nervous system diseases , but ....
as the government fact sheet says : " There is no cure or standard treatment for the MNDs " .
That is not too promising ! I could get diagnosed ( I don't know which one I
have at the moment ??) , and there is no cure.
Man , I would trade two broken legs for this.

Pete,
Typical for ALS from diagnosis is about 2 to 3 years. We went to doctors for over a year before a doctor just came out and told my wife, oh you have ALS you are going to die! It was about another year of hell for her after that. I stayed with her 24/7 until she passed from a major mistake the first time she went to the hospital, There are now some experimental drug trials as they zero in on what is making the nerve connection die, I would think there must be clinical trials also for Parkinson's disease going on. The sooner you can get in a trial the better, I truly do understand what you are going through,

Do there exist a schematic with jfet input?
Anyone have a pcb for Sam Grooner TIS input stage?
I believe I have been sent the wrong ops boards. I was sent the slewmaster arc welder edition. I wanted the latest spooky 10 output device OPS boards. Are any of the ops boards laid out for Noble .22 ohm resistors? I have the spooky IPS boards and I assume I can use schematic spooky Version 2 ???? There are too many versions and too many posts!
