F5 parts from Digikey.
Miguel,
Here is a list of parts I have saved for F5 order from digi-key.
Not sure if this Thermisitor will work well, but here is the part #.
Other comments welcome.. Had trouble finding the Dale/Vishay 2.2k. Most of the other small resistor are dale 1/2 watt, cheaper than 1/4 watt. Easier to hold and see.

Mouser's where I got the Fairchild parts I used in the GR-25. In general, if Digikey and Mouser both carry the same part, Mouser will be cheaper. Exceptions are rare. Mouser's service is every bit as good as Digikey. They're good people to deal with.

Ordering online from Mouser on any size order is sent without additional cost .DigiKey charges $5 PLUS shipping for orders under $25. Bought the Fairchild mosfets for under $2 apiece . They shipped priority mail which reached AZ in three days. Shipping charge was $6.
See you later DigiKey!!!

If you are ordering the fets from Mouser you also might check
out the aluminum oxide insulators much lower thermal resistance.
It is funny that they are listed in the heatsinks section.

I suppose the 2sk246/2sj103 have to low gm?
I have them on my webstore, but I am going to have to start limiting quantities.
NP says that the 20,000gm for the devices is necessary.
jackinnj said:NP says that the 20,000gm for the devices is necessary.
Typical figure for these is about 8 ma per volt = 8 mS
The 2SK370 is about five times that, so that math doesn't quite
come out right. If you parallel the devices, the DC current through
them causes you to need a lower Drain resistance so as to set up
the right DC value to bias the outputs, and that lowers the effective
gain further.
They will work, just not as well.
I think a modification of the design would be required to use these
parts effectively.

Can you write a part list for F5.
Thank you
yup , I agree - article and schematic certainly isn't enough ;
baaaad Papa !

Are you guys kidding. Do you want him to build the boards too?

certainly!
I can't stop puzzling - why my F5 (as personall gift ) isn't arrived yet ........

MikeW said:

Actually, I was hoping he would sent me a chassis and PS too, shipped fedex next day. That way I could listen to it before building it.
mike-diy,
I understand that alternative parts and resources for them can be frustrating.
You'll get a hazing for sure asking these types of questions.

I am trying to post a couple of parts resources for others to order from and for the diyGiants to critisize for the better.
My recommendations is to get the heat sinks first.....Can't do anything without them and surplus ones are my recommendation.
The article on the firstwatt.com is there for people who did not by the AudioXpress article. The last schematic has all the parts for the output boards. The power supply in the production amp is a mystery, but likely close to an F4, and recommendations for other regulated supplies are made as well. My other recommendation is to build the Power Supply first, as you dont need heatsinks for that.....unless you have a nice bench supply.
Mouser has Fets, Tech-diy has jfets, mouser and digikey have all kinds of resistors and funky black parts.
Namaste'
Mike
I predict Audioxpress will offer boards

This stage in the process includes several steps:
Print the schematic
Get a high-lighter pen & a clean sheet of paper, your "crib sheet"
begin marking the components through with the high-lighter
as you do, write the name of the component you have just marked on your crib sheet
continue until all the components have been transferred to the crib sheet
group the components into categories: semiconductors, resistors, capacit*~///(Mongo! there are no cap's!)...jeez...etc.
begin the search
Some parts will fall into your lap, others will take more effort...you will experience the entire spectrum of parts sourcing
...and those grouchy people above...hard to believe...another spectrum entirely...they are your friends😀

Why a pair ?

Guys, what do you think about this board ?
It's meant to be 44 mm x 44 mm in size, and the parts are named after Mr. Pass' schematic and only difference is that I added R71 and R81 (3 x 150R 2W resistors, instead of 2 x 100R 3W as Mr. Pass had drawn - I don't have 3W resistors).
Momentarily I'm in search for 2SJ74/2SJ108 JFETs (beware of Siliconix/Vishay J108 switching JFETs - in local shop they almost sold me those as Toshiba's - they even had the nerve to ask a 4$ per piece).

That would be a pair of Papajammies, Jacco.
