Yet another Aleph 4

[trigon]

Finally listening to my Aleph 4s (mono-blocks) Here is the pic.

Sound ??? Just marvelous , mission impossible , bass strong and powerful and yet mids and tweeter like a crystals from min to max power. I guess it will take a little time until it shows a full capabilities.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I give a zillion. One of the best DIY Alephs I have seen!

too beautiful

what material is the front plate of your aleph4, it looks so clean.
what size of your heatsink? how much electrical energy does your aleph4 consume? sorry for too much questions.

 

[Brian Donaldson]

Wow! what truely clean and beautiful innards. I'd like to see more angles of how you've stacked those beautiful black caps over the tranny

 

[Dennis Hui]

Wow!

Trigon,

Your amps are beautiful!

Are those the R-theta heatsinks from the group buy?

Cheers,
Dennis

Front panels are Aluminum. Heatsinks are R-Theta 11" by 11" Each block runs about 260W idle.

I have used black acrylic which as well serve as dumping bridge since my trannies are each 1.5kW Plitron 2 x 40v with insulated primaries and secondaries and plus with electrostatic grounding.
Take and look at the pic.

Thank you Dennis, yes they are R-theta 11" by 11" The amps are running on about 60C degrees

side view - every block has three brass spikes. two on front and one on the rear side.

This is better than sex!

Trigon,

Great job. I bet Peter is in hiding now........
I bet it took some thought in designing these beauties.

This should go on the Passdiy site.

dang! simply beautiful... great work.

...but aren't monoblock Aleph 4's just Aleph 2's??
or are mono 4's actually a little more powerful than 2's?
I see the rail volages are at 48V...

anyways, i love the spikes and the plex... i can see the hours
of work sitting there, now you can enjoy the hours of music!

They look nice.

This is probably one of the few Alephs with possibly the best parts you can get, I mean silver wire, IXYS bridges, Mills resistors, Nichicon Great Supply caps, 1500 VA Plitron with all possible features and so on. No expense was spared I had a chance to see them yesterday and those are indeed very nicely made amps.

If there was ever a reference Aleph, this might be the one. I hope I will be able to borrow them one day to see how they compare to what I'm using.

I wish I am the owner of these beauties. Great works and I think I will get some ideas for my ALEPH 5 (next project). Of course, if I may. Greetings from Belgrade.

Your pair of amps looks great! How are you going to hold the top panel on? (i didn't notice any way to attach it?)

Also, what are your internal dimensions? 11"x 11"? I have 4 of these heatsinks, and was thinking about doing a similar pair of amplifiers.

I can see the 'super deluxe' version of my Industrial AlephX.
Absolutely nice.

Nice work! They look very clean and neat inside.
I would be interested to know what temperature the heatsinks reach after the amplifiers are on for about an hour or so. Could you publish the heatsinks temperature as well as the room temperature?
