Try it and see if it has enough gain and swing for you. If not,
build something else...

supply up to get what you need.
maybe its handy to put something like "First build then ask" in your signature.

I am currius if someone have a pcblayout, which fit for the R0 4/17/07 ? - There is some issue with the 'IN' connection etc... ?
Also i would be very pleased, if someone could explain how much 'preamp' it would take to drive the f4 in a full balanced dual-mono block (4 pcb's + 2 torrids 2x18v 500VA).
It's not that i did not read this thread, and the 'mate for f4' thread also, but there is so much talk about voltage-swing / db-gain etc... that i am a bit confused.
I had been listening to the f4 at Steenoe's placed (I also mentioned this earlier in this thread), and i am in no doubt, that this amplifier sounds very veery good, and that i really would like to build one myself. I through have a slight feeling, that i would have a problem with my speaker/preamp setup, which was discussed in the 'mate for f4 thread' too...
Well, i have not so much acknogledge about the db / voltage-sving things, so please be gentle, if someone would try to explain this to me !

Hi Jesper. As far as I remember you have a X-BosoZ? Did you try to raise the gain? Try to increase R18 and R19 on this sch. to 80k-100k. That will give you all the gain you need. 100K is 19dB gain in theory, but its much better to just try it out
I really like that one

According to the service manual of the Aleph L , the gain can be adjusted by changing the value of the input resistor(s) 47K gives 0dB gain, 22K 6dB, and 10K 12db. With 5K we will get 22dB and I guess it would be too much. Or not?
With 7K5 will we get about 18db? Must be "just jake" to drive the F4? Can I go for it?
- What would be the effect of upping the supply voltage (to 70V may be) ?
Yes yes i should try... and see the result . But I just would like to understand what I do.Thx in advance

Steenoe :
Sorry about that, its a 'normal' old fashion bosoz running unbalanced right now..
Well my bosoz is with 124ohm (13,5db in my setup) for maxium gain, but somehow i feel, it's not enough, that's why i asked if the x1 delivered the stuff somehow differently ?
Maybe i will take a closer look, at the aleph p 1,7, which seem's' like a bit more heavy, than my bosoz, and i think i could use my +rail from my bosoz to test it.
Jesper.

Ok then... I will try it out, whitin the next few day's guys ... My only consern is, that the 124 ohm resistor is a seriel-resistor connected to a 500ohm potmeter, which i allready disconnected a long time ago.
But right now i am busy designing and etching a pcb for an 11vdc psu for my dac.

F4
After our official reviewer, (and master prototyper and good DIYfriend) Steen released the goods on the F4...here's another look at the F4. I think a preliminary one as the review is forthcoming.
