But when booting up it can draw up to 300 watts for short periods of time. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chord-electronics-blu-mk-2-the-official-thread.831343/page-196#post-14103671 Quote I recently upgraded the wire in my walls to a special 6g wire designed by Jim Weil of Sound Application. This wire can handle 55A continuous and >200A in peaks and while this is overkill for any audio component, in my setup, the improvement has been very easy to hear even with my DAVE which barely consumes 20 watts. This is not your ordinary 6g Romex but at only $10 per foot, this was not an expensive upgrade (about $1,200). Compared against the 14g wire that was previously in my home theater room, measured impedance is cut by 1/3 and the improvement in dynamics is dramatic. It's inevitable to ask @Nenon this question since it's already been several months, have you actually replicated @romaz what was sharing back in June? https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/qsa-lanedri-series.36078/page-19#post-884417 Quote 2) The Extreme craves current. Not in the same way that my power-hungry monoblock amplifiers crave current as my Extreme barely consumes 70 watts during playback but it craves low impedance current much more than my monoblocks do. Of all my audio gear, the Extreme scales the greatest when fed low impedance current. Quote Beginning last year, with the help of @nenon, we put together this prototype power distributor. A 6awg power cable with a giant Bocchino wall plug was then directly wired into the first outlet (no IEC was used). While we have already found a way to improve the design of this line distributor with even bigger and better 4awg wire, the impact of plugging the Extreme into a device like this is beyond huge. More specifically, do you actually think that Taiko Audio DC DC-ATX + ULPS combo would also benefit from low impedance current in the same way? In other words, is it the motherboard itself that's craving low impedance current or not? Of course there's a different way to look at this, maybe it's more about feeding the chokes and the (Duelund + Mundorf) capacitor bank etc. Link to comment

It most certainly does. I built a 5awg cable to feed my power conditioner, which my Taiko Dc-ATX is plugged into. I haven’t opened it up yet to see what awg is within it but supposedly it can handle up to 40a all day according to the manufacturer. Adding that 5awg cable had a major impact on my entire system. The ULPS is also ULTRA sensitive to power cables. Link to comment

Absolutely! Taiko Audio DC DC-ATX + ULPS combo benefits from the same things as the Taiko Extreme. I have a 4 AWG power cord on the Extreme at the moment. Tried a very similar design of 1/0 AWG power cord and I heard a solid improvement.

drjimwillie Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I have been planning to ask this question, please. Can we all have a blunt conversation about the components to install before the ULPS. I do not have the experience that you all do, and I sincerely feel that my enthusiasm will outweigh my common sense. @Nenon previously, you said that if you had to install a power switch, it would be this circuit breaker. What amperage circuit breaker would you use for the ULPS, please? If I use this circuit breaker, does that mean that I do not need a fuse? Do I need a fuse at all? It seems to me that the fuse would be the weak link. what amperage fuse would I need? Fast blow or slow blow? I certainly cannot afford a $3000 fuse. That sounds better than no fuse at all, ha ha.😉 I was thinking about the process involved, if there is no switch installed. To power down the server, you use software. To reset the motherboard, I can pull the power cord from the IEC. Then, of course, there is that button, I think it is a momentary switch, to turn the motherboard back on. I have the Nortel transformer, so I am not using the soft start. For best performance, it seems that I should go straight from the IEC to the transformer. I look forward to, and I am a bit frightened to hear about your experience.😉 Thank you, Will Link to comment

I look forward to, and I am a bit frightened to hear about your experience.😉 Thank you, Will Here is what I used to do: 1. If I did not use a softstart, I bypassed the ON/OFF switch for the ULPS. You can turn the computer on/off from the motherboard controls. And you can always unplug the power cord if needed. 2. If I used a softstart, I put a switch that controls the softstart and it won't have an impact on the sound quality. No softstart sounds better. No softstart and no switch sounds even better. In commercial products there is always an ON/OFF switch. Safety and convenience are more important than squeezing every last bit of performance there. Whatever you do, ALWAYS USE A FUSE or make sure you have adequate protection. A cymbal that sounds just a little bit clearer is not worth the risk of burning your house down and putting the life of you and your family at risk. As a rule of thumb, you can size the fuse with something like this: 1.5 x transformer VA, and divide by mains voltage to get the fuse rating. And you need a slow blow type for the ULPS. But this is DIY, and whatever you do is at your own risk. The magnetic circuit breaker you listed is good as it combines the functionality of a switch and a fuse. I use it on my tube monoblocks because I have to turn them on/off every day. Never used it on my server. drjimwillie and Exocer 1 1 Industry disclosure: Dealer for: Taiko Audio, Aries Cerat, Audio Mirror, Sean Jacobs https://chicagohifi.com Link to comment

Unless the Taiko DC-ATX was developed for use in the Extreme but was never put into production units. AFAIK, no one has been able to capture a photo of what is underneath the capacitor board (the second Lundahl choke is visible, however). Based on the topology of the Extreme's single rail power supply (single transformer secondary, single active rectifier, single capacitor array) plus the confined space underneath the capacitor board, it seems unlikely that Taiko is utilizing linear regulators for the different ATX, EPS, and expansion card voltages. On 8/31/2022 at 5:48 AM, JayM said: As confirmation to Nenon's post regarding R&D this is definitely a big cost driving factor, this is the reason we have to design our products with different markets in mind since there is no way R&D can be supported by only the DIY branche. This is the reason the ATX is designed that way, the holes and cutout corner of the copper plate make the DC-DC ATX mountable in te SGM Extreme under all the capacitors otherwise this would not not have fit. Emile really wants to support the DIY market purely out of joy, because he started that way himself. I can vouch for the fact that we have little to no margin on the DIY products as is, so having to PCB's made one that would have fit in the SGM Extreme and one purely for the DIY market would have increased the price many times over since the market is just to small. We do not want to do that to the DIY community. Superdad 1 Link to comment

drjimwillie Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Sorry about the images without any text. I couldn’t figure out how to do it after I attach the photos. I love the idea of go big or go home. I definitely have not used some of the bigger wire gauge that I’ve heard of others using. I definitely want one of those seven gauge Pangea cords. 😎 I had not thought about using the Sean Jacobs power supply. I have on my server currently. It has a dedicated 10 amp power supply for the CPU. now I’m imagining what I could do with it on the new server. But honestly, I’m kind of liking the simplicity of of the server, and the power supply in one box like the extreme. It is nice to have options. I am thinking that this conversation about wire gauge is right in line with the conversation about the fuse. To digress a bit, to the previous pictures. I am using six gauge 220V, 30A with the ground in a separate conduit. Into a power sure 800, 115lbs designed for operating rooms, step down to 120V. Into a custom distribution box. Each Hubble industrial outlet gets two 10 gauge hot and two neutral. The ground remains separate until its stars out to each outlet. it’s all about instantaneous power when needed. But I’m not telling you anything. So these are the two fuses. I have already decided that I am going to use the one that is standing up. I believe that’s the one that came with the Taiko case. My new question is, if I am planning to run three of the Angelique Wire to every component in the power supply, do I run three wire from the IEC to the fuse? And then three wires from the fuse to the transformer? also, I noticed that this fuse has one contact on each side and one out the back. so I would guess that the two on the sides are together. I will check for continuity. Does it matter which one is the in and which is the out of the fuse? Link to comment

I have another unregulated power supply and it does the same, so its either the board (or one of its components) or the HDDPlex 800w. How to figure out now which it is? Any idea? Cheers Tom When is it shutting down? During boot or during playback? Link to comment
