Check out the Salas DCG3. Superb performance.

I am using the BA3 paired with the Aleph J currently running the FH on Alpair 7p. Currently in the process of building the VFET2 kit and should be up and running in couple of months time. BA3 pairs well with Aleph and I hope it should be the same with VFET as well.

Thanks

Thanks guys.

I've been pondering the BA-3 pre for a while but am intrigued by the DCG3.

Marra can you expand a little on your review?

Appreciate the input

I have to agree with .Mara, I built the DCG3 and it is superb.

Has anyone felt the need for including one of the Velleman (or equiv.) speaker protection kits with this amp?

I wish I had the solder-slingin' skills you folks have, but since I don't I'm having someone else build mine now - and this question was posed by the builder.

Thanks!

if nothing else , you'll have better sleep

so , it's worth more fuss

Hello guys
Can you still buy kit ??

 

[Marra]

I soldered all resistors and trimmers yesterday and happily the boards passed all the resistance checks.

Now need to buy a case and transformer.

Sorry, but all the VFET kits are long gone..

However there are more new projects in the works.

 

[Gyuri]

That's what I was scared.

 

[Variac]

Be scared! Very scared...

"Papa" Nelson "Wiz" Pass is working on surprises for all good boys and girls

Lots more coming, Party On!

And not just amps!

Probably 6 months before a selection is available
But that gives you time to finish your VFET amps.

Actually, I am scared even because of my own shadow.

Curious....

Okay - I got the amp from my builder and it's been warming up for about 45 minutes with no speakers connected. The builder suggested testing the DC offset before I start using it.

Scratch that - I'm an idiot. My multimeter was set up for Vac, not Vdc.

Re-checked it at the speaker terminals and got ~51 mVdc on the left channel, ~26 mVdc on the right channel. I really don't want to mess with the P3/P4 pots, I'm sure I'll screw it up. Am I good to go?

Any other test points I should check to make sure nothing got bumped the wrong way in transit?

Thanks!

blow on the inputs, it will change

0 is great!
