GC try

[Idefixes]

Give it a couple of days 'burning in' and then let us know what you think!

That is what I planed......after all readings, and there a lot of possible improvememts : next step => Valve buffer

Speaker Protection

Nice job Marc.

I am enjoying the installments also. As I am in the process of building a GC from Brians boards I have special interest. I just finished wiring up my power supply and lo and behold the voltages are correct. Hope to have a finished product and some pictures soon.

I have a question. I noticed that you have a relay on your speaker outputs. Is this in anticipation of adding the valve? I would be interested in the circuit details if you are up for it.

Thanks a lot.

These relay are parts from my speaker dc protection and on-delay circuit. You can find détails
HERE (Its in french ). For one stéreo systèm you need 12V regulated PSU / one main board / 2x relay card

Very nice to say the least! Layout of your wiring look familiar then I found links to your other projects. Thats why it looked so familiar

Now my question. In this first picture you have RCA ground connected together.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Now in this one I am not sure if they are still connected ?

They still be connected together, to avoir ground loop.

That's a good looking family...some good genes in there

 

[Nuuk]

Yeah, you have an eye for style Marc. In fact you could put many commercial designers to shame!

Yesssssssssssssssss, and good melting pot : french with zenquito, americain with bosoz and world with gainclone......

A head full of idea but why don't i have you wood work hability......

I think that you have - but not the tools/workspace to use it!

I don't have a shed but I do have a spare room where I can set up my tools . I certainly would not attempt my designs on a kitchen table!

What did you use for paint? It looks like a spray finish for the black surfaces.

The paint is Car paint spray i bougth in super market.

[Nuuk]

Well if I had a car, you would be welcome to spray it for me anytime!

R2D2 ?

Good call! It does have a 'personality'!

Hi Idefixes!

Great looking amp indeed!

One question - your first version of PCB - did you ever try to finish the amp with them or did you first modify the PCB? And what actually was "wrong" with the first solution?

Thanks in advance!

 

[UltimateX86]

No... I believe that it was a problem of width track

 

[Stabist]

Oh I see - but "how much" wrong - that it wouldn't work OK or was it just "a beauty fault"?

Because - when he published the first version - I've made a PCB - and today when I've decided to put the amp together - I've realised there is an mkII version

The first version wasn't wrong i bealivebut I do q second to have more suitable layout and to separate PSU Gnd and Signal Gnd. Normaly the first version should work.
