Yes, you can use 3,300uF caps.
Zobel components (0.1uF and 2R7) are optional and I never use them with my amps. In case you don't use them, DO NOT install jumpers in their place, that would short the output to the ground.
The rectifiers don't require heatsinks, in case of using shared heatsink (like a bar for instance), make sure that each diode is isolated from a heatsink.

Peter, thanks for your replies. I guess now all I need will be the transformers, the 3300uf caps, heatsinks and to build my enclosures and I am on my way. I am getting close.
After this I'll be able to compare it to the LM3886 GC I made from a Chinese board. Very excited to hear how it's going to sound.

Looks good. I'm also working on a new PS enclosure for Patek amp, will post some pics soon.
cool

It is better to include the rectifier boards with the transformer and bring DC into the amp case
I'm not familiar with Sola products, but as long as it provides proper voltage I don't see a reason not to try it.

There was slight delay recently with processing Premium kit orders. A shipment of parts (to me) has been hold by customs for 2 weeks.
Presently, all outstanding orders that were placed before 3PM today, have been shipped. It also applies to Aleph 30 boards, mentioned here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=815810#post815810

Yes, I'm actually thinking about implementing balanced outputs on a DAC. That would require additional DAC chip and phase reversing on data line feeding it. But it's hard to say when this becomes available.
Thanks Steen

I priced out a 750va dual24v sec for $88CAN shipped for $120CAN.
Wow, that's cheap compared to Plitron! Have you tried one? I've been wanting to build a 6 channel amp for my active setup, but the cost of the transformers has been holding me back.
Cheers
Peter, I have a basic question about how to tie together the primaries for a toroid.
My 300VA toroids for your LM4780 arrived today. The primaries are 115-0, 115-0 and the secondaries are 25-0, 25-0. Our voltage is 230volts, so does that mean I have to tie the 115 from one group to the 0 of the other group, and do the same for both, then connect my supply from the wall to them?

Peter, this is what I did, and the results I got. Please comment:
Blu (0v) . -----||------. Blk (0)
Grey (115v) ------||------ (25v) Red
Vio (0v). ------||------. Orange (0)
Brn (115v) ------|| ------(25v) Yellow
I tied Grey and Vio together and applied Live 240V to Brn and Neutral to Blu. I measured the primaries and they were giving 28.5V across Red/Blk and the same for Yellow / orange. Is this voltage too high for the LM4780 and did I wire it propperly?
Appreciate your reply b4 it is actually attached to the PSU and amp boards.
Regards.
