    That looks great Dave. Beautiful room that I am sure sounds as good as it looks. Keep up the good work! I think it still might need a little more cow bell. You should be able to fit another set of LS in that room. the furniture may have to go but.......... It's a fun ride, but you have to know when to get off. Some never figure it out!

    Hey, that's a nice looking THTLP laying down on the left there.

    As a matter of history, if my memory serves me correctly, back when the original Zen amp came out, I believe it was Nelson Pass who coined the term unofficially. Around exactly the same time, Deckert used the name and I remember Nelson mentioning in a forum post how someone "used" that name too and he was a bit upset about it, but let it go. 

     

    Good memory.  Nelson was the first that I recall using that name.  In fact, here's the issue that I have about it:

    Because you are a software guy messing with hardware? Sorry, could not resist. Just a poke, not personal. 

    lol it made me laugh.  Though I specialize in bare-metal coding, I do have 30 years of combined hardware and firmware design and build.  I still make mistakes and at this stage in my life, I learn every single day and realize now that there is far more that I don't know than what I do.

    Did not get a lot done this morning but I have started wiring up the PS transformer and made the AC connection of the secondary to the bridge rectifier of my PS board. When all this power wiring is done the amplifier part is the easiest and fastest. This transformer's secondary is actually two separate PS sections along with the heaters. This means if one wants he can make  two power supplies like a mono build with one PS transformer. Same with the heater section. Two heater sections. You could use one section for two tubes and the other section for the other two tubes. You would want one heater section to be for a pre and power tube. I am tying the two 200V sections together along with the heaters. When you do this you increase the amp rating with the same voltage.

    I just saw this and you may have discussed it already, so forgive me if you have and you already know this...

     

    If you mount your toroidal transformer down with a bolt, like I suspect you do, make certain there is adequate clearance from the bolt to the lid.

     

    The reason is that the bolt and case will form a single winding on the transformer all by themselves, and you'll pull your hair out trying to find out why the fuse keeps popping when you have the lid on but runs fine with the lid off.

     

    Ask me how I know this.

    I've said it many times (too many??) that the great outdoors is the best way to listen to LS. 

    Good luck.

    This is 100% the truth.  Aim them AWAY from any reflective surface.  They are super sweet.
