However, I can "only" get 475mA @ 5.45VDC out of the Placid at max trottle, thus shunting approx 25mA. Is this ok? How to get it to deliver more? Nedless to say I want MAX audio performance, perhaps order LCDPS, or is that a complete waste of money? Cheers, Tom Edited by user Sunday, November 28, 2010 11:33:01 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

The answer could be here: http://www.twistedpearau....aspx?g=posts&t=1056 Remember, Russ' answer, reducing R6, refers to Placid ver. 2.0. The same resistor in version 2.0.1 is named R5.

Which value is better? Then (before the change) reduce current down to say 250mA @ 5V before turning off? Do replacement, and it should be ready to fine adjust with more max current and shunting 50-60mA? Btw, I do have good ventilation...

I replaced R5 to 5R, readjusted voltage and max current, then connected, and fine tuned, I can now shunt what I want! Great!!

It's -15 centigrade (5 fahrenheit) outside, snowy and the tubes and BII are glowing and keeping me warm...

I.e. how much current must each Trident provide to its respective circuitry? Thanks Paul

But we can post later. Edited by user Tuesday, November 30, 2010 8:30:22 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
