Pictures of your diy Pass amplifier

Power supply is pretty safe to touch as it is only around 30V, of course 60V across +/-, but still within safe limits :)
Rectifiers are also pretty far back, but I have thought about what happens if you drop your key over them. It has a total of 8 properly sized fuses though :)

Thank you ALL for your KIND comments!
Kiitos!
 
It isnot apartment but it is F5 :)

Another vanilla F5.

Nothing like the monster builds others show but I am pleased with it.

V3 boards from the shop.
LEDs brought to front panel.
Relay for switching on mains power.

M2 Headamp finally ready

M2-HPA-ww.jpg It took me some months to finish, but finally it's as intended in a nice chassis.
It's a dual mono headphone amp, with the M2 gain stage, with the Diyaudio headphone amp output stage with the Jung/Didden Super regulator boards and not to forget the crossfeed circuit from EUVL from his F5-HA Description V1.4 document.
It was a nice journey back in time, to make my own PCB's, with all the chemicals and so on :D
Lessons learned: design one big PCB with everything on it, connecting all those little PCbs is a lot of work :) It will look neater also.
The Edcor's did pick up a lot of hum from the initially placed R-core transformer. Changing to toroid's and placing them this way, solved the hum problem.

The outputstage has 3.3 Ohm source resistors, resulting in a 180mA bias at 15.0 Volts. Enough to drive every headphone, I guess.
Regulators and output stage generate about 10 Watts of heat each channel which can be easily dissipated by the side panels.
Resulting in a warm, 42 degrees Celsius amplifier chassis...

With the crossfeed and relais switch board, I can select to listen to only the outputstage, outputstage with M2 gain and outputstage with M2 gain and crossfeed.
Off course it sounds very, very nice!
