Where do you get your board done once they've passed testing session?
What specs do you use for the board: thikness of the copper and so on?

AX pcb remained the same. It has somewhat wider traces, but most of all shorter. So trace dissipation was not a concern here.
If the U.P. boards are to be remade, they will be made by a professional shop, but in an indefinite future.
I'd have to widen the power traces and have them with a 70µm thick copper

Hi Cheff,

Beautiful job on the amp. An excellent project - and thank you for sharing it. That definitely looks like a contender for the ".5" title in my opinion!

By the way, that's a very interesting update on the relative offset adjustment from the one shown in the "adventures" thread.

Thanks Graeme,

Yes, the offset stability remains quite awesome. I planned some place on the pcb for the 'Aleph-X style' power resistances from output to ground, but the first tests showed they were absolutely not necessary

Even with the feedback loop not including the output mosfets, the differential offset is below 5mV. Absolute offset is wandering a bit more than with global feedback, but stays within +/- 10mV. And no matching other than the power mosfets has been done.

Jefe,

the ones in the picture are produits artisanale de la maison ?

(Escoffier would have been proud, i see you even fixed the mice problem.)

Jacquot,
(Un)fortunately, c'est un produit semi-artisanal

Pcbs are made by a local shop, but à l'ancienne : insolation, etching & tinning are made à la main.
And for the mice, i've got a cat to take care of them. Les souris d'agneau, je m'en charge

Really.

Cheff,
That's Top Gun work... congratulations for that clean and awesome boards and great amp.

Cheff,

What is the purpose of the DIP packages (IC's?) and surrounding circuitry in the center of the board?

Graeme,
It's the output DC detection circuitry (page 3 of the pdf)
