Andypairo · 18th February 2003, 09:37 AM

Just managed to take some photos of my in-progress Aleph 30.
Any comments/suggestions?

Unfortunately I haven't so much spare time so it is going on very slowly....

Cheers

Will be a real Beauty!

That warm red/orange colored wood and those black heatsinks
go together perfectly matched in color.

When you are finished you should post your best pictures
to the Pass-Amp Gallery.

Thank you, but I believe it will be at its best when putting sone voltage out to the speakers...

By the way I'm already brain-washing my girlfriend about its (rightful) place in our future home!!

Cheers

did you do the pcb's yourself? i like the nice big tracks.
i quite like the transformer mounting, too.

very nice all round. i wish i could make stuff that good looking.

I did PCBs by myself but using a layout given to me by a fellow Italian DIYer; the front end of most Alephs is identical, you only need different output stages (and of course different values of components..)

I hope you have some more free time. It looks very nice. How about some details. Power supply? Caps? What kind of outputs and what bias? Good work.

Looks great! Be careful though that the transformer doesn't get to hot seeing you have both sides of it covered up. You can measure the temperature rise above ambient accurately by checking the primary winding resistance cold and then hot. Here's a spreadsheet to help you do this.
