    Stability of voltage regulators

    Hey guys is it safe to put a 16v rated capacitor behind (to the output) of a 7815/7915 dual supply regulator? I have some lelons laying around that i want to use for the a hifi project. will the capacitors blow, or is the regulator stable enough to be at a constant 15v? thanks

    transistor pairing? or not?

    hey guys, so back to my amplifier project, do i need to pair the two mosfets on the output level? i do realize there is a gain control resistor i was wondering if i could tune that instead of buying paired transistors.

    120v dc power supply

    how can i make a 120v dc power supply for hi fi audio (super flat signal) without the need of a super large regulator or capacitor? (the capacitor would have to be 27000 uf @ 160v) any help appreciated thanks

    disconnect switches

    hey guys, do you know if a disconnect switch will isolate electricity enough that the two contact points are far enough away so that a 16000 volt spark won't jump across it? will a knife switch work?

    high current solder

    as said in this thread here: https://www.electronicspoint.com/threads/pre-amplifier-line-in-mixer-chip.272880/ i am building a HIFI amplfier. the current is gonna be big so I need some solder that will carry at least 4 amp of 100v current efficiently. WIll regular solder work? or is there some...

    pre amplifier/ line in mixer chip

    hey guys, so i'm building a super hifi power amplifier from a chip amp, the harmonic distortion is 0.0003%, and i need a line in mixer. but all the line in mixers they sell in stores are => .01 harmonic distortion. i'm curious if anyone knows a weak hifi chip amp that'll do the job. thanks!

    Homemade starter relay sticks

    Hey guys, I made a starter solenoid for my boat cuz im a cheapo. i made it from a push-pull solenoid, and couple brackets and screws. when i start the boat, the 90A of current tack the starter uses welds the cast iron contact points together, making me have to pull the plug on the starter. is...
