PierreG said:Good work. It is a very intresting project. I saw you web page on this amp.
How is the sound?
Did you compare with another amplifier?
What is the temp of your heatsink?
Can you let your hand on it for a long time?
I think you should, they seem large enough.
I haven't compared it to another amp yet.
The heatsink doesn't even get warm with 30 mins of music but I'm not really thrashing it, neighbours etc. I think the heatsink is plenty big enough
kestrel200 said:MAXW,
Where did you get the 134 pcb?? Do you know where I might be able to find one? Also what size are your heatsinks?
Thx
Mike
That is one of digi01's PCBs.
See here:

You can contact him for PCBs
The heatsink is roughly 60x70x300mm.
i was actually about to post a similar thread because i'd like to build a BPA200 as well. however, instead of using the balanced line driver, i wanted to use this bridging method:

is there any reason this wouldn't work?
thanks

ESP simplest ever bridging
I think it is a fantastic idea. Can't see any reason why it shouldn't work, really. The only thing I don't quite like is a small delay you have between two phases (as second amp must "wait" for a signal to appear on the output of the top amp before producing its own half which then gets delayed again by it, kind of inbuilt TIM), but I'm not really sure how significant this is in real life. For a subwoofer amp for example this is absolutely a non-issue. In fact I may try it for my forthoming S-L Thor variant !

Jason,
Did you get my last e-mail? I've sent you two now. I'm not sure why your not getting them. But I said I'd love to get two boards from you.
Thx

What is your email address ?
For some reason people seem to be having problems with the Comcast address so try this Yahoo address:
Elainenannygoat@yahoo.com

If I are having any email trouble 80-90% of the cases comcast.com is the domain.kestrel200 said:For some reason people seem to be having problems with the Comcast address so try this Yahoo address:
