| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I could be shocked, of course, but I would be very surprised if this isn't some problem with the amplifier itself and not merely a matter of inadequate wattage. You may remember earlier in this endless thread that when the local technician attempt... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Swampwalker, thanks! | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Hi, Guys,Well, no joy yet. I replaced the driver board with the one that Pete sent me but it doesn't resolve the distortion issues. So I have packed up the amp and will ship it out to Pete in Florida tomorrow. He promises to get to the bottom of t... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Got my new driver board for my AN Kit 1 from Digital Pete in Florida. Got the old board removed and hoping to get the new one installed in a day or two. I'll report back! | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Okay:I received my new Driver PCB from Digital Pete in Florida, ANK's designated builder for prebuilt ANK kits. It arrived on Friday. As you'd expect, the workmanship is first-rate.I've managed to remove my driver board from the amp and hope to ge... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Sebrof,Yes, although the Great Austin Blizzard of '15 never materialized, my office opened a couple of hours late and thus missed the mail delivery! The post office said it should come tomorrow.Sheesh! | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Roxy and Charles:I should be receiving my Driver Board from Digital Pete in Florida tomorrow (although they're talking about an ice storm here late tonight so that may be delayed). Once I've installed the new board I'll report back. Hang on... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Well, I re-soldered all the joints between the valve base tabs and the pads on the Driver Board PCB but whatever's going on wasn't fixed because I'm still getting a distorted signal on bass-heavy material on the amp. Just got an email from Pete (D... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Almarg,Right. If you go to the product page of the Kit 1 8th anniversary edition (not the C-Core 10th anniversary edition) and you click the download manual tab at the bottom of the page, you'll find photos in the manual of the populated driver bo... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Gsm,Don't be discouraged. I'm not! Remember that I was working with an incomplete version of the revised Assembly Manual. You'd be working with something much more complete, refined and in line with the latest version of the kit. It's a lot of fun... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Grannyring,Yes, I am certainly learning a lot. It's a good feeling to know that I can take the bottom of the chassis off and fix or upgrade anything I want. Like, on a trivial letter, when I got the amp back from the local "repair" shop (sorry for... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... So,After three separate Skype sessions with Brian leading me through test procedures as well as some voltage meter checks on my own, putting a sine wave through the amp and taking a variety of measurements on the 300 B tubes, here's what we know:W... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Jbrrp1,Yeah my Manley EL-84 push pulls in triode mode (20 watts) drove the De Capo's plenty loud with no trouble. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... We think we are zeroing in on the problem! More to come! | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Smctigue1:You know, that'll be an interesting thing to see and I'll let everybody know what I find.Brian thinks we may be zeroing in on the problem, by the way. It's just that I've been to jammed up at work the past few days to do much testing! :-( |
