Ordered the high nickel Cinemags on 9/21/18. No word yet...I figured they were too busy sipping wine with papa ...glad I ordered the Jensens too and already have them. Although they’ll probably find there way into my DCB1 first.

there's no such thing ..... as too much iron in signal path

SSIT

Got a great gift from pras1170 the other day ( keraterm, screws, etc to mount the monster SITs). I got the SITs, some edcors, as I bought two pairs when I ordered for my M2 build, and got a package en-route from Serbia from the main man ZM. So I have everything for a SissySIT build
I was thinking of temporarily using my current M2 chassis ( steel 4U/400) and powersupply. As the powersupply caps are quite large there is limited space. Will the Sissy pcbs get enough support from a single row of screws and spacers as I need to mount them flat against the sinks? There is no space for a T- profile mount.
If the SITs are as good as rumor makes them I will probably invest in 2 cases at a later date and make individual monoblocks. All my tube poweramps are monoblocks.

It will be exiting to hear what the SITs have to offer. I have now used the M2 extensively and am beginning to really enjoy the M2 sound. Even youtube videos sound great through the M2s and my Altecs.

can´t read my feelings, i´m sitting quite calm on my F6 Jensens planning to use for the sissies, but slowly hysteric activities appear at the fringes.

issit that the Edcors won the Pass listening tests? Maybe i solder the Jensens with extra pins on the PCB, making it easier to change later?

still calm, guess sound signature does unfold even with Jensens....

ts, sissy feelings in last post, big YEJ, ZM package just arrived!

pcbs can be mounted parallel to heatsink

for now just this crummy picture , from already started assembly of one Babelfish M25

will post more pictures (preliminary to proper tutorial ) as soon I get some necessary sleep ....... too much driving tonight and today , almost no sleep ..... I'll try to make some illustrative pics this evening and post them , and will write some more about (yes , PSU pcbs ) PSU pcbs , and all things ongoing

 

[noelectrix]

for parallel mounting: for my understanding its best to first fix the IRF with screw and bent legs on heatsink, than fix the pcb with screws and than as last step, solder the Mosfet to PCB, that way having the least mecanical stress.

 

[Zen Mod]

no , Bubba

Moi typing while eating , with eyes almost shut ....

heatsink (hole M3 tapped)-keratherm-mosfet (pins bent up)-pcb-big washer-springy washer-Stainless steel M3 Allen head bolt

dang it/tighten , then solder pins

easypeasy

 

[pras1170]

Yes, to get enough sleep, all day long, in front of the computer, the same, people will be very tired
Let ZM rest and then have the energy to help us.

 

[noelectrix]

mhm, but then distance heatsink–PCB is determinated by mosfet thickness and not by standoffs

as usual, guess i need little more time to get it : )
best (and get u some sleep)

 

[Zen Mod]

in my book , thickness of mosfet+keratherm is more than enough

I'm usually cutting all part's pins at 1-2mm above solder blobbbbbbbbbbb

so , next question , please ......... ?

what's wrong with the simple kiss , boy?

[kannan_s]

Did you ship mine ( kit) yet or waiting for materials? Anyway no sign of Cinemag arriving soon - Cinemag said they will manufacture in few weeks ?

thanks

I'm still waiting for the invoice.

It will arrive comfortably for the new year at this speed.

Regarding which Cinemags Papa actually chose for his FW amps, there is precious little in the way of first hand info. One clue is the BAF talk where he says they are "about 25 bucks", which corresponds with the retail price of the LPCs.

Probably the difference is minimal, and it could even be that the LPC is preferred by some.

Wonder how much it would be to cryo-treat the whole populated PCB along with the SITs...?
