sounds about right, that's why I use blunt tools
But for tapping, I always use sharp new drill bits on aluminium, and always use meths as a lubricant.
I'm using an older design supply set with 8 caps per channel in this build.
Is the over current protection still activating since the resistor change?
A good question
The point is that I did not prototype the Lichtstark-X yet.
On contrary, Tribute-3000 plays on my test bench almost constantly these days. That's the main difference right now
It would be interesting to compare though, so I will put the Lichtstark into my plan.
Transformers for the new supply arrived. I get the right voltages, and i can adjust rail voltages between 53-70V.
Did also a quick live test on my NS amp using TubSuMo IPS. Initially i got huge offsets(about 10V) and the amp entered in DC protection, this happens if you forget to connect ips supply ground and amplifier ground - stupid me. In the end everything come out fine. I still hear hiss in the speakers.

We need to figure out where your hiss is coming from. Can you measure AC voltage on the output with the input shorted and a dummy load connected to the output? It would be nice to know what sort of levels we are looking for.
There is nothing to worry, in my opinion. I can hear the hiss only if i put my ear to the tweeter. It is very low level.
I like it alot. In fact after it put it in the amplifier i did not change it with another ips. The sound is top class, detailed and well balanced. The hights are a little softer than other ips, it is the only ips that i like to listen with the speaker grills off.
It is not a sound to impress, is more like something you can listen on a daily basis without causing fatigue.
