No Opti-mos ???

Nine pages of discussion and not a single mention of Opti-mos ??
I have heard good things about this amp elsewhere on the forum but just wondering why did it not make it to anyone's list of amplifier ranking ? :confused:
I have not built or heard it, just 'heard about it'.
 
I give a vote for the P101.

A- it sounds good

B- despite an error on the first batch the PCB is easy to stuff and otherwise pretty good quality. The next batcg with corrections should be really slick.

C- The "flat against the heaksink" configuration makes mounting on the enclosure very easy.

D- The only amp I ever built that worked perfectly on the first try.

Only qualm: I would like a higher value input cap or if brave direct couple it. Rather than hang a big Solen off the end of the board, I took the heretical option of using a 47uF bi-polar electro (something I've done before when space was an issue).
 
I am using those different caps everywhere, desperately

Trying to find a "perfect" sound...hehe, i have to go out and hear one alive orchestra, i know that....but, if i can hear something alike inside my house will be wonderfull.

But will finish my "search".... and this will be bad too.

So, lets the world goes turning the way it is running, and related schematics.

Of course... we all want schematics.... thousands schematics... as much you send as much i go trying...this is my game...hehe...never winning game....if i win...game is finished.

regards,

Carlos

Hehe, from my feeling this "search" will never find an end...
It's more like an odysee !

I am now building and trying amps for ~1.5 years, one after another,
it get's better and better and as long as it gets better i can't stop !
One damn thing, i haven't tried the JLH yet, don't know why...

So, on top of my ranking is of course always my latest amp. (if working)

Hmm, but this was the idea, to have a reference...
On the other side, hold my gun and Booom! in many others, sounds
like a lot of fun ... Just kidding !
I think i didnt build it yet, because i avoided ClassA...
So the JLH sounds really THAT good ?
My other references are too bad... (Easily outperformed)
But if it is that good, i simply keep it !
