Get my boards today! They look really nice, thanks a lot!

I'll update the wiki on that

Okee hanzwillem! now you can start. Do you have your LM3876 chips already?

[Hanzwillem]

Certainly Wim! Did you have a start already?

I don't have the chips yet. I have a bunch of TDA's but they definitely won't fit

I think I'll order them next week at farnell unless you have a better suggestion.

I have no better idee. I used my last 2 chips (LM3875TF). You can also order the LM3875T by RS Components for € 5,30; I do not know were to get the TF ones in Holland. TF is easyer to use becouse they are isolated.

All i did till now on is mounting the tubesockets on the PCB's and looking in the catalogus off RS components wich relais is compatible with the PCB and the schematic. I take the Finder 40.52; they are high current and hase an operate time of 7 ms and a release time of 3 ms.

I am working on more projects at the same time, so there will be slow progress.

On the other forum i asked some things about the PSU, but i did not get any anwers for the moment. Mayby you know why the BOM speaks about 2 trafo's, each 2x18 VAC? i.m.o. is one of such trafo enough to get 35-45 VAC secondairys, putting boyh windings in serie.

Any more PCB sets available?

Hi Hanzwillem,

sorry I missed your reply.

Did you now?

what brought you to my sweet little city?

My wife is from Muenster in Germany, and the village her father is from is only 20 minutes form the border. I like Europe and the close proximity to everythingh:-)
