Project update Aleph5

rwagter · 28th January 2003, 02:26 AM

It seems to me that were going to be flooded with nice Aleph 2,5,x project in the very near futere.

Just some pictures of my ongoing project. I will probably wire everything up this weekend.

Wow! looks great.

Another good looking upcoming project ive seen tonight!

I love the p2p wireing you've done on the outputs, inspired me

Keep up the good work and show us more pic's later!

It looks very nice. How big is the transformer? What kind of output Mosfets? How high are you going to crank the bias?

Mike,

there are 2 tranny's 2x28V 500VA (amplimo/plitron); 12*10.000uF p/ch ;6xIRFP240 p/ch

All compartimets will be separatebly shielded with mu-metal (which I recieved today from planet10). There will also be a layer of mu-metal between the transformers to reduce parasitic working in the PSU

Connectors will be WBT's.

I have no idea what the final bias will be but have already installed a nice small pot for experimenting. Because the heatsinks are of a moderate size it will be near standard value

IT WORKS

One channel is up and running with only 9 mV dc-offset. That's not to bad at all

. I just powerded it up watch looked out for smoke which wasn't evidently there and just connected an old speaker.

Hopefully channel number two will go as smoothle as this one.

There is still a little bit of hum but the ground is still directly coupled and that will be thru a thermistor as soon as the other channel is up and running.

Where did you get these insulators?
(And How much do they cost?..)

Here I can hardly find micas but using thermal grease it's so messy....

Cheers
