Mainline Voltage issues and 2 LEDs do not light up. [resolved]

[elgringo81]

Hello there.

Edited: to include mode readings.

I have finished putting together my Mainline kit but I am having some issues.

I am in Denmark on 230v

The Mainline passed the Resistance check. All readings were fine there.

Here is the voltage check results, and they do not seem to be correct.
+275vDC =268
+6,3vDC =6,26
IA A Side = 265
IA B Side = 266
IB A 149
IB B 260
breg - A=263v B=148v
-Reg - A=0v B=1,89v
kreg - A=1,89v B=19,1v

The 2x B LEDs on side A do not light up,
Does anyone have an idea on what might be the issue here.

Here are some pictures

Its not going to well to upload pictures to this thread.

Maybe the are too large 7-8mb each.

You can see more pictures here.

-Reg - A=0v B=1,89v

This jumped out rather immediately.  The -reg pads on each board are wired together.  It wouldn't be that weird to see 0V on one and 1.89mV on the other, but if you have 1.89V at -regB, then there's an issue with the ground jumpers on that board.

IB A 149
IB B 260
kreg - A=1,89v B=19,1v

What's interesting here is that neither high voltage regulator is working.  Inspecting your work, the wiring of B8 and B3 is incorrect. A black jumper on the bottom side of the PCB also looks to not quite be in the right place.

You are right on the money...

I corrected B1 and B3 and the jumper so now all the light show up and the currect reading are acceptable

+275vDC =263
+6,3vDC = 6,26
breg - A=219 B= 218
-Reg - A=0 B=0
kreg - A=11,5 B=11,2

I have set the bias to 145v on bot A and B and I am getting sound.


I have come across a new issue which I will create a now post about. I am dealing with channel imbalance.

Thank you very much for you assistance on this case.
