ACA Redux

[New411]

Would it be possible to get a part number for the power switch? I have one that won’t stay on.

Of course, it's PB400EEQR1BLK from E-Switch.

PB400EEQX also works and is slightly cheaper, it's the same switch but without the plastic cap.

and as anticipated they sound great. Oscar is taking requests as I type.

Many thanks!

Enjoying my recently acquired Redux amps - For fun I lengthened the standoffs and added 6” acrylic mirrors (sourced from Amazon) for a ”black hole” undercarriage view.

That looks fantastic!! What a great idea!

Ok, that does look pretty cool. Nice job.

Absolutely 👍

These mirrors are contagious - Found one more use for an undercarriage shot of my diy exoskeletal A3…

Fugly!

This is really embarrassing! When I saw the photo of the Redux with a mirror I thought “Geezus, the guy drilled a mirror with over 100 holes and mounted the components through it into the PCB? And what if the metallic layer shorts something out?”

Then I thought “And how does it get cooled by the heatsink?”

Finally: “oooooooooh I get it now, I’m an idiot! “

Thanks for the link MesaM! Just odered a pack of the mirrors. Will be going under my Redux's soon. Takes the unique, cool factor up another notch!

now you know why I'm chillin', not even trying to think

eventually, it'll come

 

[Variac]

I think the mirror and longer standoff legs should be included in the kit!

 

[Mark Johnson]

Fraidy Cats like me, worry that longer legs mean higher center of gravity, which means greater probability of getting knocked over and scratching or denting the tabletop.

 

[Extreme_Boky]

Increasing the quiescent current would keep it firmly grounded..?

 

[Variac]

Yeah the current! , and I’m quite sure it isn’t easy to flip. I’ve had it in my hands and it’s quite solid feeling when on a table.
To avoid scratches you’d be better off focusing on some soft feet screwed into the standoff “legs”

 

[MesaM]

Standoffs are secured to mirror surface using dots of Gorilla double-sided stick tape; no slipping no tipping.
