Slewmaster - CFA vs. VFA "Rumble"

Thanks uncle OS,...

How can I choose
or which do you most prefer to build :)

& one more the part must be chosen right
(it will need time to collect good parts for it)

The blameless is a good VFA to start with. All the members built and liked the
"badger" , so .... the "wolverine" is a winner.

HERE is more POWER !!! :D :eek::eek: for power hogs...

Below ..I will post the finished 5 pair "SLEWMONSTER" ..
400W/650W for the monster parties !

Krisfr - All 100V caps.

For the main ones , 80V @ 1000 uF will fit. With these , a supply voltage of
70V will be max.

680u@ 100V (main rail caps).. will allow for 80V supplies safely.
A standard 400V -25A bridge , 20-40Kuf reservoirs per channel ,
and a 500VA 60-0-60Vac trafo will "blow you away".

The capacitance multipliers lose about 3V on each rail , any Hawksford
VAS on a IPS will also lose another 3V.
With a non-boosted supply , running 10V higher is SAFE .. as the OPS
will never clip with the lost 6V at the IPS rails.

You can use boosted supplies with the jumpers unhooked right
behind the driver stage.
Small 50VA 65-0-65 V unit will drive both channels easily.

These things are not "toys" , a rail bus can be affixed to the top of
the main OPS power traces for 20A capability (14ga copper wire -stripped romex).
I would recommend this for the "MONSTER" !
This is very similar to the Harmon- Kardon 990.

OS, if is is not asking too much, can you upload pdf files too? it would be easier to pint on my laser printer for a toner pcb fab....thanks...

Do you know of a free PDF creator ?Adobe sucks. I use foxit for viewing.

The bitmaps are 300dpi , measure exact 76.2mm wide on all the widths.
You could make the PDF's ??

PS - a bitmap is uncompressed. It is like a CD or wave file.
PDF is like a JPG or MP3 (compressed -lossy).

I just had a look and my free Foxit install creates a PDF printer. Just print as normal only choosing the PDF printer. Or use ImagePrinter.
 
ah, ok i can make pdf's, will give it a try....

can you look at my project in my signature and pm me your thoughts? just to give you a breather....:D

I did not see any pictures , BUT ... with 50-60 V rails , the monster
could most likely do 1 -2R . Especially using the rail busses and
semitech MGxxxx BJT's.
This one is designed for it (outputs as drivers) , this is the "key". :D
ps - being a triple EF sure helps , too !
