Sorry folks, my brain is addled...I've got a sick young-un in my lap who keeps reaching for the keyboard and I'm short on sleep.
Zero,
If I read your post correctly, those transformers will probably work, assuming that Nelson doesn't go single-rail on you. Start amassing 100V caps, heatsinks, etc. Word to the wise: An unexpectedly difficult item to find is...a reliable power switch. Expect to spend a young fortune on good switches or use a small switch to control a high power relay.

Sorry to hear of the sick "UN"!!! poor lil Un! just wants to be a Big Un!!!


I had planned on using LV DC to control start up. Arc welded switches is not my idea of a good time. In true Overkill fashion im sure i will end up using some Kryptonite, Ex-Nasa, lunar rover, triple gold, hermetically sealed, Mercury filled, resonance damped, Area 51, un-obtainable relay!!! :devily:

Mr. COOL: I want to thank, thank, thank you for including me in this endeavor! Although we have lots of surplus stuff at our disposal, I want to emphasize that my feelings won’t be hurt if none of it works into this design – I’m willing to procure whatever need. BTW, I do have some of those relays 🙂.

I shall strive to be a worthy Humble Servant to The Apprentice of The Master!

Mr. PASS: In the words of a dear colleague… WAHOOOOOO!!!
I assure you that any lack of high-end audio design experience I have will be more than compensated for by my ENTHUSIASM!

Um, Nelson, you might want to consider limits on the number of people who can be involved in this project, so as to reduce security leaks--elseways, there's going to be a team of about a hundred or so, all aching to get at the schematic.

I'm not actually concerned. Anybody operating off of early
information might simply find themselves having to back track.

Aw... You had me goin' on the big Zen thing.

If a may digress for just a moment to the single-stage concept.

Might this look something like a bridged ZV5 with Vgs multipliers and input buffers for the massivley paralleled output banks?

No. And I'm still going to do it, but in parallel.
 
Guys,

Pay heed to Mr.Pass's warnings.................😉

Nelson mentioned in an earlier post that the big Zen won't actually be a ZV5 variant. That was just some speculation on my part.

The good news is he said he's going to pursue the Zen project in parallel with the "Id" project.

Nelson:

I'm a good prototyper and I've got a System One available for preliminary testing. I could email you the test results and you could tell me what to tweak.

I can keep a secret too😉

I bought a system one a long time agao and sold it to a studio i worked for. it was one of those deals where i got it at an auction and it was so cheap i couldnt decide if i wanted to keep it, or sell it for the $$$$ I ended up selling it and wished i hadnt ever since.... Studio ended up going back to the bank anyway!!
