Re: Cathode follower for compression
I don't know how similar the effect would be, but I'd guess that a JFET source follower would be a better bet.

Re: Anyone else having issues with the board?
Is anyone actively administering this forum at this point? I see two posts by a new user at the top of Technical Discussion and Garage Talk which appear to be AI-generated or something in that vein. I think those have been taken down now. If you spot something, it seems like the thing to do is clic...

Re: SSS Bipolar Supply Update
The SSS bipolar driver supply board in the first post has been updated again with some fine tuning. The bleeder resistor mentioned above has been reduced to 150k to balance the current draw on the positive and negative sides, and to allow the voltages on both sides to drain in about a minute after s...

Re: LAR/MAR PPIMV bypass pop noise?
That isn’t going to work because the grid can’t be lifted from a 220k leak to a 2M2 leak resistor no matter what. It has to retain the 220k resistance whether it’s a parallel of the MV control or a fixed resistor. It’s going to pop loudly also because it’s an open circuit while the contact switches...

Re: The Much Anticipated (?) Bluesmaster Build Thread
Looks great! Your questions and feedback have led to quite a few updates to the documentation, so there is some great synergy going on here.

Re: A SSS Build
Hope that solves it!
The speaker output should be in phase with the PI input.
Yours will be the first with the new resistors added to the bipolar supply. I’ll be interested to hear how that works in hardware.

Re: Can I Parallel 2 Mosfets in VVR?
I just found a really thorough introduction to Thermal Resistance and Heat Dissipation, and I wish I had found this a few years ago. basics_of_thermal_resistance_and_heat_dissipation_an-e.pdf If the Texas Instruments pdf above was too specific for your tastes, this Rohm Semiconductor lesson covers ...

Re: A SSS Build
Completed installation of bipolar power supply. Amp is now working again with better B+ and other voltages. Question: with the decreased voltage the bipolar supply provides V7 does this limit the clean headroom? Volume? Is there a noticeable tonal difference between the original and bipolar supplie...

Yes. The mechanisms of the heat transfer are different, but it’s the same concept.Kagliostro wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 7:17 pm Something like the dissipation of the single triode within the same envelope of a dual triode tube

Re: A SSS Build
Once you have an arc occur there may be carbon tracking on the tube sockets which must be completely removed to prevent more arcing. If the socket material has been burned, replacing the socket may be necessary. So what caused the initial arcing? I think it was most likely an oscillation in the powe...

Re: The Much Anticipated (?) Bluesmaster Build Thread
A 1kV 10n cap across the standby might help with the pop and increase the life of the switch contacts.
The better way to shut down is to turn the AC off first. That way the power supply caps will drain through the still hot tubes.

Re: A SSS Build
102 amp is still on, Operate, idle-no input. Transformer is very warm, I can only keep my fingers on it for 2-3 seconds. Similar in temperature to SSS transformer. This is after nearly 4 hours operation. Would your SSS run 4h and be at a similar temperature? It has four more preamp tubes, so 1.2A m...
