Pictures of your diy Pass amplifier

Thanks all for kind words ;)


My Aleph X is on +/-20V and I have 4mosfets per side, 8 per channel...giving like 60W on 8Ohm...
I have forgot all the data, because it was long ago..there was some spreadsheet to calculate voltage, mosfet dissipation, over desired wattage.

Don't know, but I think I have like 1A on mosfets...

so the bank of 4mosfets were dissipating like 75W and it was to much for one heat sink as it gets like 65* in winter...
I could run some air over it...but didn't

I change concept and decide to build some active loudspeakers and use aleph to drive drivers

here are one picture of loudspeakers in background ;)..don't mind the PC in front ;)
(by the way...this is newer ending proces..ggrrrrrrrr)

First I tought to drive bass driver with Aleph X (as it was already build) but it doesn't make sene to use A class for it...

My F5 monos

Hello,
here you go the pictures of my F5 monoblocks.

Heatsinks by Gorini Dissipatori. Model 7078/200, and 5306/100 for the diode bridges.
Copper and alu parts from a local locksmith, very unexpensive.
Trafos by Toroidy.pl. 300VA audio grade.
Had to use an unofficial PCB because of the form factor.
Mosfets matched by Hannes (h_a on this forum). Thanks Hannes ! :)
Front panel is a stone slab with a onyx eye, backlighted by a led.
Mills and Holco resistors from hificollective, other stuff from Mouser.

With two CL60 thermistors in series with the trafo's primary, I don't get any bump at power on.
The signal path is very short. The amplifiers run dead quiet, with no hum or buzz. Temperature of the heatsinks is about 42C with a 0,590V bias.

A perfect match for my pair of Troels Gravesen's DTQWTs .
Many thanks to diyaudio for all the info, and to mr. Pass, the one and only.

Cheers. Carlo

wow, I got my "fugly" badge !
Thanks Zen :)

6L6, the only "fancy" tool was my small bandsaw, equipped with a blade for cutting metals.
Plus a cheap drill press and the usual manual tools.
All the tapping made by hand.
This way, I didn't buy any chassis. The stone panels are way cheaper than a thick aluminum equivalent. The monoblocks weigh about 17 kilos each.
