Old Japanese good stuff. JC has a cupboard of those probably, I only have a few matching from just a handful.🙁
Paradise group buy is closed now at 544 boards (!!)..... we will now proceed with all the organisation, and hopefully in autumn we will have another nice thread with building stuff, gallery and listening impressions ;-)))
Impressive, just impressive, very very impressive. Who would have thought.
More than 1000 shunt PSU's eating multiple KW's to go 'online' 🙂, amazing!
Just powered my first R2 shunt.... wonderfull... +-18V steady ... Now I will populate the second board (the second is always easier)... hope to have a listen in 1 week 🙂Impressive, just impressive, very very impressive. Who would have thought.

(I think I said it before 🙂) I like HOT-running electronics.
(As D.Self added to an amplifier) You could add a Summer/Winter setting on the shunt 🙂
Interesting, I alwaays found the sound to be more agile, faster, more dynamic by lowering the current on the shunt. 😕
Lowering the current in the CCS of the shunt can be dangerous, when lowered to far you may starve the current supply to the attached preamp and that may not be a pretty sight (on the scope, even invisible on the universal-meter (if lowered just below the demand)). It may even provide a somewhat crisper sound. http://www.discogs.com/Death-Sentence-Not-A-Pretty-Sight/release/2346820

This is exactly the opposite from what I found: Shunt reg sound becomes really good if you burn your fingers on the heat sink 😀
mmmm interesting! What is the sonic impact by increasing the current on the CCS?
The room heats up, that makes the speed of sound lower so we get more bass and the treble does sound less sharp 🙂
wow, that is interesting!!! wow!!!
That is exactly what happens!! So what about this amplifier in Class A that heat up a lot?
