Where to go after the F5?

F6

F6 is upcoming DIY

Would that be AudioXpress? I better hurry up and renew my subscription.

If you want a challenge how about a class D amp.
Good PCB layout and decoupling is paramount.

F6..........!!

Perfect timing..... my soldering iron is just cooling, from my F5 build.....

(I wonder if I can get a good second mortgage on my house.....)

What's F6, an Aleph J with power JFETS?

 

[blue lander]

Hmm, should I save the Semisouth JFETs I bought for an F2J and use them for an F6 instead?

That may be the question of the day?

FW model of Aleph J with Power JFETs is called J2. I am sure F6 is different....though I don't mind building a J2, if revealed...

There is not an official public J2 schematic, but a good facsimile can be had
elsewhere on this forum.

now ....... I'll just wait to see , who's gonna ask that naive question - which post is it ?

and nobody will ever get that that precious post is in .............Car Audio forum

I've been interested in taking a shot at the J2.

I have to say the optocoupler throws me. Does CTR matter? Do you need to tie the base of the output to anything or does it float?

I've had a few friends try a "J2" and blow out their SemiSouths. Any rudimentary explaination of the optocoupler would be welcome.

I am dumb. I cannot find J2 facsimile in car audio forum :-(

No, the F2J sounds really good. You can always peel them out later.
Decent solder wick is the best tool I use in this hobby!

Why are you having Q1 and Q2 in backwards?

[Nelson Pass]

I recall that the mighty ZM did cobble together a reasonably good schematic,
perhaps he will post it again for you.

Pa

you know I'm dumb

these days I'm even dumber - no comprende hints very well

only if you say - yay , ZM will post Babelfish J2 schm
