Scryer ... or how F8 met Mighty SissySIT

[Zen Mod]

as long you copybstrdz are using MKC, I don't care which mnfctrr is, and you're happy, for cheap

just say, I'll make in future footprint for Duelund caps ......

Lookin good, Vunce! Don't tell ZM, but I think those red caps make ALL the difference.... 😉

What are the red caps?

 

[codyt]

Wima MKC. Nothing fancy. It was just a joke for ZM 🙂

 

[Plott]

Great Vunce, looking really good! Enjoy 👍

Plott, you should also rotate the toroid 180°, with wires exiting opposite side of cap and circuit

Yeah, I already did it, but thanks for the advice!

And some background, ZM likes the preciouuussss yellow Philips caps, and obviously he stores tons of it in his holy pile 😀

I just can't leave things alone, went back in Scryer for a psu tweak. I've read from few builders/members that adding capacitance to the output of a capacitance multiplier type psu will result in positive results. I figured to give it a go in this build. 22000uF is added to each rail of both SLB psu's. I've been supremely impressed with Scryer in "stock" trim so far, we'll see if this mod changes anything 🙂.

naah ....... Scryer is for Weaklingsessss

and?

 

[andynor]

Maybe it shorted his house’s mains fuse?

 

[Vunce]

Nah, the lights just dimmed!

Scryer was cooking last night with TV system. After work today back to music with some known tracks…..

Dear ZM,
this weekend I will fire up the amp 👍 and in order to do it without fire I would do it as follows:

• Iq pot at max R
• after turn on adjusting the DC offset and readjusting when temp is stable
• setting 176 mV across the double 0.22R for 1.6A Iq and maybe increasing to 198 mV for 1.8A

Is it correct so far?
Fuse: 1.25A slow per channel on the primaries (like the M2x)?
Many thanks in advance!

And yes, the wiring was dirty now is completely rewired.
I will use the amp in weaklingsessssss mode with my external PSU The Source.

 

[Zen Mod]

all good

 

[Plott]

Thanks

Hi Vunce - I’m thinking of adding the same to my SLB build. What did you think?

My F4 build is underway, I have a BA3 front end that I can integrate like 6L6’s build… but F8/Scryer is looking tempting and use F4 to give it some kick into difficult loads/biamp. What do people think?

 

[Zen Mod]

Scryer is not exactly motor-home as F4 is, but certainly not to underestimate

Square Law DEFiSIT operation is wakoo thing; however much Watts, they're nasty ones

Great Peace of Mind finally descended - after life got in the way - and I spent two days enjoying it. And stuffing the Scryer and XA252 boards. Both intended for 2SK180's. One for a friend and one for me. The donuts and various chassis remain in the clutches of the customs mafia. Hopefully to be released soon.

Peace was ruffled as Mightiness clearly wasn't in a state of Great Peace of Mind when he packed the order as nowhere to be found were the 3W 150R resistors but not an issue as I added them to a Digikey order for Papa's FE 2022 bits. Peace Returned.

Meanwhile - Progress Porn. Proper Porn hopefully soon....
