Digi, I hope you don't intend to sell that.
Or else there is going to be huge problems.
Also, you've just shown who you are and what you are doing here.

dw1narso said:>craft pcb,carve by a knife.guess what caps I use?
the blue ones are Philips?
no philips😉please continue😎
Alcaid said:My guess is Sprague caps 🙂
What do I win? 😉
m0tion said:My guess is Cornell/Dublier.
thank you for your interest😀 Alcaid are right🙂
they are sprague 10000uf/50v hi-end caps.
thank you jackinnj,that kit is a generic edition.feel free to mailing me,if you interested it.

Gimme a break, this ground has been trod by elephants -- there is no court in the world which would consider Carlos design to be anything other than "known to those who practice in the art" to quote from the US Patent Office.
Good
It is so nice to have fellow diyAudio.com members that have excellent contact with PCB Manufacturers. I am sure in the long one we diyers will benefit from these low costs, fast and excellent quality PCB for all sort of projects that are mentioned in the world wide web. 😎

PS.. we may want this site to turn into DiyDigi.com and SPAM you til you mother don't even recognize you any more 😀 😀

SPAM, SPAM, SPAM ! -- isn't that a line from Monty Python's "Flying Circus"?

I think this thread has taken that turn😉 You guy's are so OT!!"Flying Circus"?
A pcb is not recommended for this application. PCB tracks are not the best way to transfer the power. Heavy gauge leads are way better😱

For using Sprague caps or calling them 'high-end'? 🙂
You'l figure it out 😉

Shame on you digi.![]()
Here we go again...
All I'm going to say is that folks are acting as if Carlos mysteriously holds the rights to using snubbers on power supply circuits.. You know, the kind that are on this site from 4 years ago:
http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/ssps2_e.html
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, Carlos. I think it's great with everything that you're contributing. I just really think people should stop getting peeved at someone who actually thinks that you have a good idea and implements it on a PCB in a way that allows other DIY folks to have a nice piece of kit. Or offer the PCBs yourself. Obviously there's a market for them because people keep buying them from Digi.
If it weren't for folks like Digi, quite a few people out there wouldn't bother to try your ideas. If anything, you should be thanking him for helping to further the credibility of your work by giving others the opportunity to review it easily.
Sorry to go off on a tangent/off topic here, but I just don't want to see this thread devolve into another digi-bashing over nonsensical reasons.
This thread was so good and helpful, until post #163 appeared.
Sad it ends that way! But offcourse, all the goodies provided by CarlosFM are still here for fellow diy'ers to use🙂

What? Again?
Check my first post on this thread.
I know this article almost since it was published.
The values recommended there don't help much.
But I had the idea to give it a try.
Didn't like it with those values.
It improved a little, but not enough.
Others would quit.
I don't quit that easy.
I sit down and listen, change, listen again.
Rest assured, my ears are trained and still in shape.
For the hours I spend with this, for the trouble of making a schematic to post on diyaudio.com, just to share with you all, for the silly discussions I had just to prove that this is in fact better, you're welcome (I don't hear some uneducated ones saying "thanks").
When I opened this thread I was completely sure that this is a better PSU, so sure as I am for a long time that high capacitance without this snubber sounds bad.
But this PSU and this thread brought some kinds of reactions:
1- For some people this PSU is too simple to be taken into account. Those blow their fuses trying to understand.
2 - For others this is too complicated, and needs a PCB.
Here's my advice for both cases:
1) Listen to what you do, open your minds and ears instead of spending years fiddling with the maths. This is audio. I've heard very good sounding amps that use (shock, horror!) switching PSUs.
2) If connecting two big caps and a couple of snubbers is too complicated, don't even touch an electrical device. It can be lethal.

Carlos does excellent work and more importantly he shares his findings with the world.. He will always be respected for that. I suspect he has a real job and that this is just a hobby other wise he would not give away his work.
digi01 has resources available to him that makes LOTS of peoples lives better. He does not ask unreasonable prices for his PCB's.
Law of supply and demand.. He is simply the supplier. If not digi01 it would be Opie in South Dakota.. But then the prices would be higher.
To my knowledge digi01 is a student not a business owner.. He has these boards made as a hobby and in his spare time, and I don't think he is getting rich off of them.
Back on topic please.
Carlos, I do thank you for sharing your findings with us, as I do not have the time available to test mods.. I generally have to take other peoples suggestions, implement them and hope my next chance to listen is an improvement over the last.
Stop bashing... This is a hobby. This forum should not be where you make your money OTHER THAN the site owner who needs to make a profit to keep the site operational.. I donated, did you? Most boards here are not that expensive and neither is donating to the forum.
Merry Christmas everyone.
