Does anyone now what happened to my Maya? Had a multi room amp that just died on me the circuit breaker shut off, but on another circuit that the Maya was connected to did not break. Just my Maya taking the punishment. Is it possible to fix this?

Check the fuse at the mains inlet.

 

[Eowland]

Will check that. Btw did you see the pic I posted on the previous page?

RG resistor 10 ohms burnt. please email Hugh with photos and the way your source is connected. he will guide you how to rectify it.

 

[stvnharr]

Will check that. Btw did you see the pic I posted on the previous page?

I admit that I looked at the pic but not very closely. Blowing up that resistor takes a bit of doing. Hopefully you have followed Suresh's advise.

It will blow when a positive or negative DC current is inserted into the RCA ground at the input. This could happen during a connection error, or very likely that a balanced line was connected to the single ended input of the Maya. Hopefully there will be no other damage other than Rg!

Finally ready , big test in my attic will follow . Heavy beast for shure.

Wonderful Patrick, and very nice Toroidy transformers.
Very good layout, ensures easy to service and keeps it cool well.......
Enjoy the music!

Well Done!!!!
Hopefully you will have wonderful music for many years.

I am having a bad day today. The right side of my MAYA got burnt up. I looks like it's the input stage, and even the copper trace on the pcb seems to be burnt. I don't really think this is salveageble. What am I going to do?

 

[rabbitz]

Makes me shudder just looking at that.... sympathies.

 

[Painkiller]

Fortunately it didn't take any of the other equipment. The speakers are fine too. I wonder what happened. The amp has been behaving so nicely for many years.

 

[AKSA]

This is not good....ulp.
It looks like the protection zener bit the dust so I must study this carefully.
A replacement module will be despatched this week.
My apologies, PM...

I got a bit of a scare, but all is fine now. Thank your for sorting it out so fast, Hugh 🙏

Ouch...by the looks of it , it seems you inclusively had a fire too.

Lucky enough you were around to turn off the power ?

 

[Painkiller]

I think that the small transistors and zener burned out so quickly that it didn't matter. It probably cut off the signal to the speakers even before I could react. So the amp was still kinda fail safe. No harm done, besides a spike in my blood pressure 😅

 

[Painkiller]

Everything is good now. Replacement module recieved. Everything works as it did before. No harm done to any other components. The new module took just 15 minutes to hook up.

Thanks to Hugh for sorting out the issue so fast.

Oh my...that has got to be one of the best looking Maya's i ever saw
I wonder where that front plate design came from .... missing a couple of handles though....
Messing around...congrats on the build , i am starting my 5th Maya ...gotta love Hugh !

Be the best you can be ... this is the Maya mk4 chassis in all its glory. I have had some practice with this as this is my 5th chassis build on this model, so on each version one gets to update issues and upgrade looks and functionality. This is a "tight" fit on all components but i managed to keep it clean. The latest GK1+Lifeforce build was a bigger challenge and i learned a lot from that. So this seems a walk in the park compared to that.
For now, i have the chassis assembled, absorption feet, handles on, plugs and connectors fitted, LED wiring, toroids mounted and i even managed to fit a Felix Power Conditioner on the AC input ( PCB by FOLSOM). The AC receptacle has 2x -fuses 10A, plus the Felix also has a 10A fuse so quite well protected.

I am now waiting for the modules from Hugh, to make it sing ( for now it only emits a quiet and relaxing sound of silence ) Best one i have heard though
Also going to start working on the input and output cabling , got to search my inventory for what its available. Never know what's in stock.

I leave you with the current build..... gotta love the Man ...always pay tribute !





Cheers to all builders !

Beautiful work Filipe - I am truly flattered.
