The Singing Bush

[Zen Mod]

due to nature of circuit - cap on output , lesser impedance of biasing circ (10K) and few other itsibitsies , gate leakage is less critical in Singing Bush than it is in SissySIT

no , you don't need another project

just go (more) fishing instead

 

[Juntuin]

no , you don't need another project

just go (more) fishing instead

That's one bad advice

 

[Zen Mod]

well , better fishing than partying , especially these days

well , better fishing than partying , especially these days

Well, true that. And anyway I'm more in a need of a good preamp for SissySit and future projects. But I guess that is on it's way to store

 

[Zen Mod]

dunno

ask Boyz

 

[Botte]

Both supply’s are done and tested.

 

[Zen Mod]

take care of these mains NTCs in lousy plastic connection blocks

better to use black ones , with proper screws , where you must use eyelets for everything , and plastic is much better

 

[AnthonyA]

What kind zenmod?

You mean overheat of Ntc could melt them?

 

[Zen Mod]

well , heat of NTCs itself , from experience - can't melt them ...... but NTC is having solid core leg , while these are having lousy screw connection ( even if some having intermediate metal tab between screw and wire) , where you have potentially bad contact, and you know that results in heating with time

it is really optimized/made for strand wire , not for any sort of solid core , which is simply giving up of pressure in time

 

[AnthonyA]

Ahh..I see
How bout crimping? Also what do you do so it won't loosen with time? I had bad experience so just solder them after crimping. Depending how it looks

. I like wago.now. Use spring loaded clips similar like pheonix contact. Reliable.

I made pcbs for them

use raw pcb material , all you need is exacto knife and drill

 

[Botte]

Better?

 

[Zen Mod]

solder wire eyelets on NTC legs , then bolt/screw them

cunning to use some silicone isolator tubes there on NTC legs , instead of heatshrink

wtf , what is proper term here - bolt them , screw them ?

Noted.. Danks

 

[Botte]

Short of your PCB. With what I have in the house.

 

[Zen Mod]

soldered?

 

[Botte]

Yes

Now I have it proper.

Not that it didn’t work the other way for six years. As long as I have time may as well do it right.

 

[Zen Mod]

ya know the saying - Murphy is the King of Drek

I'm sure that things would work if I made it in shittttttiest way , when making for my self

but , when I'm making it for someone else , it'll burn the house

so , habit of doing it properly pays off ..........

 

[AnthonyA]

All stay at home?

Bah ran out of project.. Mr postman is scared too not sending my stuffs

I learn alot from zenmod builds... Very cunning as always
