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

Great Vunce, looking really good! Enjoy 👍
Yeah, I already did it, but thanks for the advice!Plott, you should also rotate the toroid 180°, with wires exiting opposite side of cap and circuit
And some background, ZM likes the preciouuussss yellow Philips caps, and obviously he stores tons of it in his holy pile 😀Wima MKC. Nothing fancy. It was just a joke for ZM 🙂
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 🙂.

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:
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.

- 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

Oh, yeah, had a further dental surgery on friday, after having a two days dental treatment two weeks ago 😵
Hi Vunce - I’m thinking of adding the same to my SLB build. What did you think?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.

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?
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....
