Pictures of your diy Pass amplifier

[peppennino]

It looks fantastic, Chris!
Little question about layout: I see some amps like yours built with transformers in under the PSU PCBs: it is always hum-free a solution like that or there's the risk of EMI? Thanks

Now that is a great colour scheme ZM...except for the (Good, strong) boots you and the bike are perfectly themed!

Great looking amp Ryssen.
Always find it very pleasant when wood is incorporated in the piece, softens the outlook and warms up the space.
Well done.

So far it’s dead silent. I’m not really qualified to answer the EMI question, but I did my best to keep anything that radiates away from anything that carries signal. Antek does make a shield that drops over the top of it that I left room for if it was needed. One person suggested that the leads exit the transformers toward the front and rear of the case. That is the only thing that I tried to keep straight.

That sad, I did hook up my old preamp to it with a bad RCA cord/connection about 4-5m away and it was a hum monster! Scared me! But good cables to a newer device right next to it with a 1m cable was perfectly quiet. While likely EMI related, it was more because of a poor cable connection.

Thanks Chris

I used some of that 1/4" galvanized mesh on an tube amp cabinet build. If you take some gloss spray paint and paint both sides, it dressed it up quite a bit.

This is my latest creation, a 20W, positive current feedback amplifier in a HiFi2000 / Modushop Mini Dissipante enclosure.
Dedicated PSU for both channels.
1,2 Amps / Lateral Mosfet make the amp pretty hot.

Nobody says a fugly?

 

[6L6]

It certainly is a wonderful Fugly!! Well done!!

 

[Mod Man]

Very nice clean work. Ain't it fun.

Hello rookakoma,


you have built a very nice amp! Excellent work!


You will have to get your 'fugly' from ZenMod ...


A relaxed and soundful easter

M2X build

I built the power supply on the base plate before assembling the chassis.. If you use the spacers suggested by 6l6 between the bottom plate and the heat sink bracket there is just enough room to get to the heat sink mounting screws

heatsink brackets is first thing you need to screw on, not last

and - saying that all the time, base plate lip goes up, not down

then even 8mm risers are enough, to route mains cable bellow

listening to the freshly finished 6-24XO

Hello out there,



I finished my 6-24 -active-crossover.


Listening to it with some other Papa Pass-toys....


Have a nice weekend
Dirk


I have a that fat grin on the face, that I will need a iron to smooth it....

 

[twitchie]

Beautiful collection Dirk! I see blue donuts cooking in the oven at the bottom of the picture!

Cheers!

Fugly!!

Yes, it became pretty blue in here. Has an UFO landed in my listening room?


And it gets warm inside - ClassA-heating-system....


And stacking Pass-amps is no good idea. I have to take care that M2X doesn't

overheat. BA-3 is
