Very nice build guide. Thank you!!
First, I see an outstanding question about the trimpots and I’ll attempt to answer it. After reading “lt_texan’s” comment I turned on the freshly completed unit and let it sit for several minutes. I then set my multimeter to measure DC volts. I placed the black/negative probe on the PCB’s power in GND (brown/white stripe wire in guide) and the placed the positive probe on T7. I got a reading of about 13.5 volts. I turned the trim pot with a small screwdriver until the multimeter read about 9.5v (9.52v to be exact). I then repeated the process except using the positive probe on T8 and turning the other trim pot until my multimeter read about 9.5v. Done. Plugged it in and enjoyed the music.
Next a question for the community. My kit came with a Triad 24v 0.5A SMPS. Are there any suggestions out there for an upgraded power supply? Does this unit respond well to other power sources LPS vs SMPS vs battery, etc? Happy listening!
