Where Next?

Great question, glad you asked!

 

I am searching for a suitable way to get similar ‘ultraCap-quality’ DC at +-15V for the DAVE. Yes I’ve asked @Superdad, and no, ultraCap can’t be modded to deliver 15V.  ☹️

 

I am also intrigued at the possible impact of better quality power to the 5V rail of the Blu (2.7A needed) given my experiences with the DAVE and the DC conversion of the Blu helping despite the presence of an OPTO DX. I have an ldovr 3A dual stage regulator on order (also 0.8 microvolts noise quoted) to see if it will sharpen up the JS-2 rail I use for Blu to ultraCap levels.

 

 

Thx for the update! Farad Super3 super capacitor LPS comes to my mind. Can be ordered in all voltages between 5V and 24V.
