An illustrated guide to building an F5

pictures and more info

Here the images of B1. If I short the input of F5 with any value resistors I hear hum. F5 without input, it is silence.
I do not have the ground in my house, but if I connect the ground, nothing changes.

f5 has a closed ground loop over the input cinch and a ground of the power supply. You have to put the input RCA jack as close one to another and lead them with power ground lead to circuit board.

F5 is not without hum if you make short circuit between ground of the chinch. Connect one interconnect cable between left and right input and you have a hum
 
tnx for pointing obvious , at last ...... :clown:

put xformer out of case , and connect it to amp case with umbilical

cap bank in amp case

EI xformer is having greater magnetic field than toroid one ......... and minimized amp case , as is yours , isn't overly helpful ......

I thought I had finished the job.
Ok, I'll take a hammer and screwdriver.
The sound is good but I think that the high frequencies are attenuated a little for me.
It 'ok 0.6 volts across R11 R12 for 4 ohm speakers?
Tnx

you can up Iq to point where you meet 35-40W dissipation per device or 55C at heatsink

whichever comes first
