Thank you
If you have not heard the ACA, you are in for a treat! These are great little amps.....
I don't doubt it.If you have not heard the ACA, you are in for a treat! These are great little amps.....
I had a very quick listen hooked up to a lab power supply, definitely showed potential.
WOW! You've built all the Diy Pass Amps? Any pics? I've only built a few, but only need cases for F-6 and Aleph J. Are your pics in the picks thread? Obviously I see your Amp Camp build, would love to see all of them! That's a lot of building!I've built them all. It's not about building the best, it's about building everything.

Very nice Amp
As far as F-5 being "better" than Amp Camp, and I havent built Amp Camp, I find the ones I have built or at least listened to is this: Some sound different from each other but all Pass stuff sounds good!
F-5 is a little more complicated thsn what I see envolved with Amp camp, and I love my F-5. That said, I bought several different F-5 boards in my excitement from Peter Daniels, Diy, both regular and F-5C with double outputs. Bought matched quads of Jfets fot F-5X, etc.
Once I built BA-3, I began selling off the F-5 stuff and bought the Aleph J group buy and F-6 package. I suddenly realized F-5 is very nice, but not the end all
I caught myself when I ordered stuff for BB-A3 amp, and while I have boards and parts, decided to wait for cases for F6 and AlephJ first!
I dont think ANY of them are "the last amp I will ever build" first, (especially with F7 on horizon) and secondly, while they all sound different they all sound good, as long as proper speaker is mated with them.
