Gb: F5 Pcb

Can I get a set of F5 boards? I've put my name on the 'interest' list. ready to paypal at any moment.

Don't worry as I wrote earlier, you don't have to hurry yet.

That would be B3

It would be cool to kick in 10db of gain with the flick of a switch or leave it switched off for a unity gain buffer.

I saw that, and it spurred me into action.

You mean something like this
Buffer/gain preamp..

Nice Job.

I have a feeling Papa can add couple of parts to the B1 to give it 10 db of gain on demand.

Smart thinking.

What kind of attenuator you got there. Looks spiffy.

Thanks! The attenuator is a goldplated Elma, with finely calculated attenuation curve...

Could someone comment on which transistors need to be matched on the F5 boards.?

Do Q1 and Q2 need to be matched to each other? Do they also need to be matched to Q1 and Q2 of the other channel?

If you intend to build a F5, you can just as well read this:

I've read the article. It doesn't say which parts need to be matched.

hello cviller!! first off thank you for your efforts!! can you e-mail with payment info 4pcb +2psu shipped paypal.i am new here here and cannot e-mail here yet. also i am building aleph 3 can i use the same toroidal on both then i can buy from same source! if you can let me know the specs.i have been told a 19-0-19 600va works on both.thanks in advance peter

I have sent you an email. I can't send you paypal request before I get your email address.

Papa uses 2x18V, but I think you'll be alright with 2x19V. 600VA will be plenty for a stereo amp.

sorry about that!!extents@aol.com

He doesn't use a a 600 VA, does he?

elecres,

I have considered the same transformer as you ask about. You may want to see post #86 in this thread.

 

[cviller]

No, if I recall correctly he uses a quality 300VA donut for a stereo amp, but going bigger doesn't hurt and if you guys buy cheap toroids you'll have to go for bigger rating.
