Nice build, and I'm sure worth the money... throw a couple of spare chips in there and your grandchildren may still use that amp someday...


Hi Nordic,

Thank You for the kind words!

A bit about my speakers as the Amplifier was designed and built specificly for Them.They are line arrays using six vifa xt woofers and six fountek ribbon tweeters in a sealed box.They are are rated at 96db effiency and use a conjugate circuit to achieve a very flat 8 ohm impedance.f3 is around 70hz and f10 around 40ish.All design credit to Rick Craig of Selah Audio.A speaker designing Genius!

Also a pair of 250wt-12" subwoofers from ACI.

First gain clone!

Actually finished this, my very first diy amp, quite some time ago ...

The wooden parts are all oak, made from scratch. The aluminum panels are designed with the front panel designer software from www.schaeffer-ag.de. Schaeffer also manufactured the panels (raw), had them anodized later by a local company here in Gothenburg. The top is a streched aluminum net bought at a local hardware store.

The amp itself is based on the LM3875 kit by Peter Daniel.

Here's an early pic of some of the enclosure parts:

this isnt anything to get excited about, just for fun!

figured id show a amp im working on as a Xmas gift. this is for my sister, who is a artist, and i want this to be very "organic" amp.

I'm no art critic, but I'd say two perfectly cubic, milled and polished aluminium blocks are anything BUT organic ;) - looks like it should be a nice amp by the time it's done though, kudos.
