Heat eventual problem ???
Thank you mbrennwa for your opinion and experience.
The amplifier is back home and I checked it carefuly.
I run it at 100 W RMS on resistors load (I have 2 x 200W 8 Ohms load for tests) during half an hour or so and then at 40 W for more than 6 hours without any trouble.
No drift at all.
After 6 hours at 40 W output power it was quite hot but in very good condition.
The output DC remains @ 3 mV for one channel and the other one was not mesurable.
I don't know what happened ... If something really hapened ??
Well I shall keep it under observation next week.
I never had issue with the second one I use at home every day and I am very pleased with this really excellent sounding amp.
Thank you again.

So I've decided to put a list together of cost... chassis are pricey.....
So If I total all this up... $785 US
Glad I did this...
Would love to build one, but...

Yes, it's hard to look at the numbers. I have approx. $2500 CAD into mine, and I'm still going. But it will be worth every penny when it's all said and done!
This is the same advice you gave me a few years back, and it makes the process much more enjoyable
.
I've got around $2000 US invested in my Honey Badger. That is with a home made chassis. But it's a 5 ch amp. Now i'm building a 2 ch Honey Badger, and that one will cost around $1400 US. That one is also with home made chassis.

AudioSan,
Very nice build!
My Badger is a 2 channel system(with MJL4281/4302 outputs) , with a very smart protection system in the works.
I opted for the 5U deluxe chassis, as it looks great, and I don't have access to material for building my own. I'm a little bit behind schedule, but I am shooting for it to be finished before Christmas.

Hi Guy's,
You may all want to take a look the video linked in at post 1320

I have posted quite a bit of information on this before. Please search my post history for your answers.
Attached is some distortion plots. Please note that the loopback distortion is 0.00036%
So distortion at 1khz using a 8 ohm load driven to 80wrms is 0.00006%
I agree with Stuart. Take a look at the Wolverine forum and you'll find the work of an amazing team which starting from the Ostripper's idea, developed a project which promises a really new level of performances. To be honest, I finished building the Badger few time ago and it sounds really good to me. Nevertheless, I already started collecting the stuff for the Wolverine, it's sooo involving!!
