Schiit Freya Plus Upgrades

[Ali Tait]

That's the plan Ali, along with my modded Primaluna PL4 for HF, Nord class D, now sporting Rev D input boards (bass++), the new speaker cabinets and Marchand active crossover with Linkwitz Transform. I'm kicking an f3 of 19Hz with this combo.

Banging! Look forward to hearing it all Ken.

No we dont want to hijack Kens thread
Thanks for link re rectifier.
I need to see a few projects through to completion.
Much obliged.

Grounding with a screw driver doesn't do the caps any good.
Put a big old ceramic resistor across the cap for a few seconds, that will drain it.
Use something like a 20W 400 to 800ohm ceramic wire wound resistor.
I made a box with a resistor in it, that I can plug a pair of meter test leads into, to do this for my Tube amps.
This box can be plugged in, in line with my meter/test leads, to drain the cap and confirm zero voltage is present in one operation.
The resistor is mounted in parallel across the leads inside the box.

yup thats best way to drain them. sparking will work but its shock tactics and may not rid it all. That said in the old telly days we were inclined to just stick a rather large driver across the huge smoothers.
