What?... Another Aleph 5?

Leeuwarden · 25th August 2003, 06:53 PM

Yes... Couldn't resist because it is a huge step forward compared to my old amps! I'm happy

I guess it's time to make an enclosure...

Leeuwarden · 25th August 2003, 07:02 PM

Yes, gives the overall sound more body...

I was going to build the aleph 5 but i ditched it as i wanted more power and thought that i should just start investing in the aleph 2 instead. So how does it sound. ?

maybe i should start a aleph 5 Humm heh. now you got me thinking.

i think ill just finnish the aleph 2's first then go from there.

Jason,

Sound is much better then my old amps (Thel) The highs are bright, clear but not sharp, bass is twice as deep as with my old amps. It does not sound flat either, actually i'm really happy with this amp.

Since I have no experience with electronics, I consider it a great project. It worked right away. I'm planning to replace the 392 ohm restistor for a pot with a serie resistor to get rid of the dc-offset of a 180mV. The other channel has 30 mV offset.
