Well, you asked for it... I made a new version that accepts balanced inputs and uses the same input circuit as the Aleph 30/60.
The board is 0.1" wider
I can't take screenshots here very well, so I created a pdf from the gerber files with Pentalogix Viewmate and attached the pdf. The pdf shows both layers, green = bottom layer, red = top layer
Any comments?

Thought you were away this weekend. Must have brought your laptop.
Exactly.. I am still away now in Pennsylvania, but I brought my laptop, and had a chance to use the net at my uncle's house.
Here is another picture of the layout, taken the same way as the previous shots:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Yes, for unbalanced, the input goes into the +IN. View the schematic here:

The resistor numbers are not all the same, but the circuitry is the same.

Thanks. Here is a pcb with output boards attached to it to form a pcb set:

The thicker pink lines indicate scoring, so the board can be broken apart. (as far as heat dissipation, they would have to be broken apart for larger powered amplifiers)
The resistors on the output boards are 2 - 2w resistors in parallel, which deviates from the single 3w resistors used in the production Aleph amps.

I have a new power supply board that I created for this, with more capacitance. My current idea is stay close to the service manual schematic, with 2-3 - 35mm snap-in caps per rail, and a single bridge rectifier, created with discrete diodes.
If the power supply boards are small enough (2 caps per rail makes them reasonably sized), then they could be added to the pcb set. I think that a single pcb with scoring could be created to accomidate 1 main board, 2 output boards and 1 power supply board.
As far as a CRC/CLC setup, nothing has been created yet. Any suggestions for implementation?
