Wow!

Just finished both channels and installed in a temporary wooden case I made a while back...looking for a nice aluminum case. This amp is dead silent and sounds very good with punchy bass. The mids are just short of perfect. The highs are smooth...no glare. The soundstage is impressive...very wide with just the right amount of depth. Imaging is spot on. Had a lot of fun building this. Thanks shaan!

 

[bambadoo]

Thanks for report. Is that good enough heatsinking?

Yep...no problem so far...been running it for about 6 hours now...

There seems to be no vents in the current enclosure. Try not to cover it while it's on.

Hello shaan,

Noob question about the film caps : Is 63V AC or DC ?

Hello shaan,

Hi CB.

It's 63V DC.

 

[shaan]

Update: Received an email mentioning that the PCBs have been dispatched from fab. Expecting them to be at hand next week!

 

[shaan]

...These will drive my diy bookshelves being made with a pair Boston-Acoustics 8" 8R fullrangers...

And the speakers are nearly ready! Only a paint-job on the rims left.

Nice job! What are the brand/size of those full range drivers? Did you make the cabinets too?

 

[shaan]

Thanks. These are re-introduced fullrange drivers based on the vintage Hi-Q drivers once made by Philips. Now Boston Acoustics is making them in India. Model no- HQ48414P. Bought from diyaudiocart. Yes I made the cabinets. Sealed h18" x w10"x d12".

Hello Shaan
A small question; 150va is good for the transformer or more power
thank you

 

[shaan]

Hi zebulo.

150VA is minimum recommended for one channel. So 300VA total for stereo.

 

[shaan]

Got some good stuff on a very good day!

The boards are home. I will start sending invoices to all members for rest amount and will ship the packages subsequently. Thanks GB members for their patience.

p.s. uploading the 2M pictures as attachments repeatedly gave me "413 Request Entity Too Large" error so I have linked them externally.
