Russ,
any news on the manual for the Trident - Three-leg Shunt Regulator?
I am also a bit concerned about how to make the three Tridents fit on the B2 when one uses the green screw connectors for all connections. Anyone have succeded in doing this and ahve a poto?

The fit on the BII is no problem even when using the terminal block. It's a tight fit but ok. What's worrying you?

I was concerned that they would not fit with the terminal blocks in use, but I see now in Coomstech's photo above that the Tridens will fit but it will be a tight fit.
My brief experiencing of hifi juice
Finally I had installed these hot looking Trident trio in My BII.
Most noticeable implovement is well controlled and naturally extended bass.
each instrument's attack,decay,echo are now better defined in details.
I think this adds - sometimes slightly more, sometimes much more - emotion and groove into the music.
Drums, Basses are really shines with BII + Trident combo, IMHO.
Now my BII can't live without these tiny gems.
Thanks Brian and Russ!

The resistor in the Trident kit sets the main CCS current in the Trident super shunt regulator as far as I understand.
What curent value is set by the supplied resistors?
Also interesting to know woud be the current draw for the three consumer circuits on the Buffalo2. Does anyone have these currents?

Incorrect. You absolutely need the AVCC shunt regulator.
It is the same topology as the Trident, but both sides share a single Vref so both channels get the same voltage (and output level).
I chose resistors values to give 50-60mA of current headroom for each position. I don't have the total current numbers with me at the moment.
Thank you Brian, so I only have to solder the Trident regs in BII board, or I have I to change something?
Yes, you should definately change something on the BII board. Remove the beads L6 to L8 from the underside of the board.
I've just created an alternative manual for inclusion of the Trident, Volumite & other small things collected here and on the TPA forum. Brian and Russ are obviously way to busy creating the better things for us to use. 🙂
So I hope they don't mind...
Leon, if you make the same thing for the Legato 2 you will be a STAR!
Thank you very much!
Hi IngemarR
I measured the following
DVCC draws 56 mA
VDD_XO draws 14 mA
I haven't measured VDD's current draw directly, only indirectly by subtraction of all other currents from the total- this puts it at about 30 mA
Hope this helps

I haven't looked at the Legato yet, but since this is simply an I/V module I take it most questions related to it would be about the PSU inputs & adjustment. That's one of the things Russ has documented quite nicely in V1.0.2. Or am I missing something?
You are missing the changes between v.1 and v.2 😉
But Brian promised v.2 manual will be out soon....
