How much across R5,R10,R12
These are the equivalent resistors #s on Eric's new PCB/schematic for negative rail.
R105=241mV
R110=245mV
R112=234mV
At this point all the MOSFeTs have been replaced and several of the 270ohm resistors. Still no change. I'm not sure what I'm getting crazier over; trouble-shooting this PCB with no positive results, or our US election and the aftermath in the news non-stop. I'm a bit of a political junkie too! 🙂 This hobby is suppose to help balance things out a little.
R110 seems to have one "leg" not soldered... or at least, seems you used some sort of paste that doesn't flown correctly...
maybe is worth a double check
I agree, looking at the photos you posted it seems that some solder would need to be reworked.
I checked it and re-touched both ends. It's good. Believe me, I've re-checked every solder joint, and re-touched a few that looked suspect. I'm baffled and it's rather discouraging not to make some progress on this despite all the great suggestions and help here. I'm very meticulous about my builds, and usually adopt the, 'check thrice, solder once' approach 🙂.
Are you sure you have an IRF9610 soldered for Q108?
In my sims, I inverted it with an IRF610 and got -4.8V!

Yes, with one pic of the top side, were we can see Q108 and Q103 correctly.
Also what is the transformer secondary AC, 40Vdc after bridge, that is not too much for 24V output??
And Use a dim bulb tester next time you power up......

Yes it is within specs for the parts being used and that will still work sufficiently for 16Vdc Vin-Vout difference, but producing a lot more Q3, Q103 heat.

Yes. Q108 is correct IRF9610 installed.

I'm using the tall HS, so should not be an issue.Yes it is within specs for the parts being used and that will still work sufficiently for 16Vdc Vin-Vout difference, but producing a lot more Q3, Q103 heat.
hi guys, I had to update the price of the components GB.
It makes a small difference for most of us.
Don't pay the different now, I will add that to the shipping fees.

I am afraid I am running out of suggestions except for a bad part.
Given the 3 CCS and the current limiter look OK according to your measured values, I would change Q108 mosfet and perhaps the BJTs of the shunt part.
The passive resistors doesn't need to be changed if measured OK.
Quick question for Alex.
the dual encoder version will be totally operable without the use of the button... is that right ?
their function will be kept intact, or the access of the functions via the pushbutton will be disabled for good?
thanks

Couple of remark.
1- 100k in The BOM or it is 1 K. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/277355-ugs-muse-preamp-gb-48.html#post6073054
2- What is the connector between the source triggers and the amps Triggers. (not in Triggers BOM)
3- The SUB board is different from the original. P15 is 5x2 socket in the Rear and left boards and 4x2 in the Sub Board ( 4x2 right angle header).

▶ 100k - confirmed ✔
▶ there isn't one in the bom because there is NO connector between the two, already asked couple of posts ago, you just need to wire trough the holes once they are mounted and solder them as is. I would suggest to solder first all the wires (solid core is advisable) from the side with the IDC 90° connector, then feed them trough the other board and solder them in place.
▶ same doubt, not even bothered asking. for what i understand, the additional couple of pin are good for future "expansion" for another type of sub board. for the one in the GB just justify the connection to the only possible border.

2, link wire, cutoffs from resistor’s or caps, cat 5/6 cabke with no insulation.
3, you can still fit 5x2 in the left / right rear PCB’s and not use all pins or you can fit 4x2 just make sure in correct holes
... just make sure in correct holes
there's really no other possible way to connect the sub board 4x2 to the 5x2 beside the "right one". they can fit only in one way 😉
