Hi Kari
Any possiblity of a lower price for the driverboard, seeing that more than twice as many as the suggested amount has been "sold"? |
|
|
| Kari |
I'll ask for a new quote. We are now up to 24mainboards and 80 driverboards so the price is going to drop from what i stated in the wiki page. I'll let you know as soon as i know.
Thx,
Kari |

Hi Kari!
I've just ordered a few boards on the Wiki. 8)
Ofcourse an outstanding amplifier also needs outstanding looks, so it it possible to let them fabricate on blue pcb? Only if it's alright with everyone. :) |
|
|
| Kari |
| Actually i have planned to get them with red solermask :cool: |

Kari,
What are the exact dimensions of all the PCB's. |
|
|
| kilowattski |
Thanks Sander, I totally missed it when I reread the thread.
Say, what type of parts are you guys planning on using? I think I may do it up on this one. For my Zen IV is used the recommended parts at Digikey but on this one I think I will use Holco H8 for the .25W resistors and Mills MRA-5 for the power resistors. For the capacitors I will use Blackgate type N caps for the 220uF and Nichicon in the power supply. I have asked Victoria Magnetics for a quote on the toroidal power transformers for 750 VA with dual 18 volt secondaries. I am undecided on the rectifiers though. I am ordering 4 rectifier board kits from Bigparsnip but I have 2 pairs of Ixys bridges in the parts bin. I guess I will decide later. I have no clue what caps to use for the 10pF caps so maybe someone can suggest something. And lastly I have 2 sets of 12 matched 244"s and 2 matched pairs of 9610's thanks to Matteyo5 What do you guys plan to use? |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| For those in the states looking for a toroidal, Victoria quoted me $94 with a lead time of 3 weeks for 750 VA, 120 VAC primary and dual 18 VAC secondaries. It sounds like a good deal to me. 18 vac should give you 24 VDC with a simple capacitive filter which should net about 118 watts into 8 ohms. |
|

| quote: | | What do you guys plan to use? |
I plan on building a 4 channel...I know, I know..a heat monster. I am going to use the Iron transformer in pic. An easy 3kva item. it has primaries that allow a few voltages including 20+20. Tranny will be shielded in copper in the chassis.(I have an uncle that specializes in copper roofing!) I'm prob gonna locate some 53a Ixys bridges.
A lot of guys prob won't like this idea...but...I have 4 - 7"x15" heatsinks that I'm considering arrainging in a 'wind tunnel' configuration. I have some 24 volt 6" brushless fans that are super quiet at 7-10v or so, and don't seem to need a kickstart.
Yeah, a hairdrier.:hot:
Probably use 12 IRFP244 per channel ? Transformer has only one set of secondaries but will run 2 bridges per 2 channel amp with around 100,000uf per amp.
I probably won't get too 'high end' on most of the components as I am quite frankly - cheap. :cannotbe:
This will probably only take me a few years to get done....
Marc |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| I certainly have no problem with anybody using a fan. Your heatsinks will probably be cooler than mine. One question for you though. Are you going to run your amp at 220 VAC input? With 4 channels you will be close to exceeding 15 amps draw from your ac line at 120 VAC. You will also have to think about the enormous current that will be required at power up. Other than that, I always think bigger is better:D |
|
|
| mpmarino |
Yes, well..120v would be used. Do you really think I will be looking at 15a continuous? I am aware I will be looking at solid continuous draw..but...I didn't realize it that high. Maybe I should have pulled out my calculator for a moment. ......
Kilowatski..thanks for pointing that out |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| With 20 vac secondaries and a simple capacitive filter of 100000uF you should have about 26 volt rails. you will be dissipating 1248 watts of heat alone. Get the Aleph X AXE-1 speadsheet and it will do the calculation for you. If the cumulative thermal resistance of your heatsinks were 0.1w/degrees C (which is terrific by the way) the temperature of the sinks would be 291 degrees F. I think you should also look into heavy duty water cooling because your power transistors would self destruct in a few minutes. Seriously, if you still decide to do 4 channels I suggest 4 separate chassis so the heat can be managed a whole lot easier. |

Price update as of 21:st of October:
Driver/ccs board would cost 3USD/pc
Mainboard would cost 8USD/pc
However even more people have signed up after i sent the request for a quote so the prices are probably going to drop even more. Also the quote i got had separate shipping costs for both the mainboard and the driver/ccs, and i have now asked to ship both boards in the same package so this should also cut costs.
Thx,
Kari |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| Why not freeze these prices and donate any excess to diyAudio.com? |
|
|
| Kari |
The price is now set.
8USD/pc for the mainboard and 3USD/pc for the driver/ccs board.
/Kari |
|
|
| Kari |
I have also been offered gold plating and that would cost a additional 5%. Mainboard 8*1.05 = 8.40USD and for the driver/ccs 3*1.05 = 3.15USD.
This would then be done on the whole order, ie. you cannot choose if you want goldplated or not.
What do you think about this? It would for sure look cool with red soldermask and goldplated pads.
/Kari |
|
|
| Sander |
Hi,
Gold plated looks fine to me. It probably only improve the looks, and the price isn't that much higher.
Does somebody know good information about a Power supply for the Aleph X? If read many many threads but I can't properly select good psu from bad psu's. I'm planning on ~75W in 4 Ohms. CLC, CRC, etc? :xeye: |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| It's ok with me. Thats pnly an extra $2 on top of the $40 for the whole set and it would sure look cool. I woild like to pay this weekend, have the shipping charges changed? |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| Kari, What caps do you plan to use for the 10 pF caps? I was thinking of using sangamo silvered mica film. The caps you drew in the rendering are different. I am just curious what they were? |
|
|
| bach2800 |
No problem with me for the gold plated.
Thierry |
|
|
| Kari |
Ok, goldplated it is. No the shipping charges have not changed.

Guy's,
Have a look at www.reichelt.de for 18-0-18V transformers. 800Va for 58 euro's.
They also offer a 15% discount at high volume sales. |
|
|
| Kari |
Kilowattski: I'm either going to use a silvermica or polystyrene cap there. The footprint is from a Wima MKP cap as i could not find anything else in Eagle. Also i think designers today choose way too small and/or short footprints, leaving no options for you as a builder to use something else.

Hy Kari (or anyone),
can you tell me how many mosfets i will need for a pair of Aleph-X Monos due to the required matching?
Will there be a group-buy? How do other DIYèrs handle this?

Did you look in the Wiki? An Aleph-X is not a good project for people new to DIY. From the 1400 boards sold the last two group buys only a handfull are completed.

I did read the wiki, but somehow I overlooked it. :xeye: There's indeed lots of information about psu's, in the Wiki. I need just some basic information to get started. Thanks.
I'm not new to DIY and elektronics. When the amp is finished you'll see the results. Instead of judging members by their first appearance, you better judge them on results and contributes to this forum. But, ok. :)
Offtopic:
Euh..because I'm dutch? This sentence is grammatical perfectly in balance. It's also stated like this in many dutch books. So, I don't get the point why you even bother... |

Sorry, I was a bit offended by the remark you made about Einstein. Of course I now it's not a beginner project. And I know you ment it as an advise rather then kriticism. No hard feelings. :) |
|
|
| kilowattski |
Sander,
The aleph x requires output transistors in multiple of 4 depending on the amount of output power you want to transfer to your load. The output power is governed by the rail voltages and how many output transistors you use to transfer the power to the load. There is a spreadsheet called the AXE-1 that will calculate what voltage rails and number of output transistors will get you the power output you desire. The spreadsheet is somewhere here on the forum and a search will easily turn it up. The thing you will have to be careful of however, is heat dissipation, as the Aleph X at 100 watts needs heatsinks that will dissipate over 280 watts of heat per channel. Real large heatsinks, huge toroidal transformers and alot of tweaking are a fact of life with this amp, but you will be rewarded in spades with wonderful sound. I hope this helps. |

If you can buy the irfp240 out of the same wafer, the spread is minimal. A tube of 25 had the following spread:
3.969 3.989 3.998 4.013
3.978 3.991 3.998 4.016
3.984 3.992 4.000 4.017
3.986 3.994 4.001 4.017
3.988 3.994 4.001
3.988 3.996 4.003
3.988 3.997 4.011
So all fets out of the tube are within 50 mV.
If you buy just a bunch of fets I've experienced 300 mV difference in as little as 16 fets.
So my advice: Buy at least one tube at the time! |

Well, Kari did say that the PCBs could reach him as late as Nov. 14; anyway, that's my understanding. If we don't hear anything from him by the 15th or 16th, perhaps we should start trying to locate him. Per-Anders has given me a mobile phone number as well as work and home addresses for a Kari Hasto (with umlauts) in Sweden, and with luck it may be the same person.
Does anyone have any other thoughts?
:confused: |
|
|
| kilowattski |
At this point I am afraid I have to agree we need to try and contact him somehow and if he does not respond report him to the Sweedish authorities. At the least, we have given him a chance to respond to our pleas. He has collected well over $1000 USD so far and should be held accountable. If we find out that something has happened to him or encountered some sort of hardship, I think we will all understand, forgive and be patient, but at this point I believe that we deserve to know the status of our monies. If anyone can help us contact him and put this to rest please do, as this will most certainly give future group buys a permanent black eye.
This post also appears in the Pass Labs Forum. |

| EFHeath |
| I couldn't contain my curiosity any longer, and called Kari on his mobile. He answered, and apologized for not having logged on recently. He has been hit "like a bolt from the blue" by a serious family crisis, and has been required to devote all his time to his family. He said that he intends for the group buy to continue, but on a delayed schedule, possibly in late December or January. His current intention is to refund payments that went through, so that people can choose again whether or not to participate when the PCB order is actually about to happen. He also said that he will try to post on diyAudio tomorrow or the next day, to let us all know what's going on. |

Isn't it better to refund for who those who really wish and the rest of you waits until December, January?
Kari, du har mina sympatier and I'll hope things turn out well in the end. |

|
| Sander |
| Kari, with all respect to your situation. The least you could do is post a reply about the current status of your situation and the groupbuy. I think we have waited long enough for this. You own well over 1000 dollar (estimated) of al the groupbuy members. So update us or refund the money. Good luck. |
|
|
| EFHeath |
Perhaps if everyone contacts him, he will at last respond.
Here is his contact information:
Deleted /peranders
I wondered about posting his contact information, but I feel that he is abusing our trust. Given the nature of his family emergency, and his lack of follow-through on this project, I begin to doubt whether we will ever see PCBs OR our funds. |

I have send Kari a money request via paypal.
I hope he will answer and pay back.
adam (acaudio) |
|
|
| peranders |
| I suggest you don't send him any more money but wait until late December. It's better to pull this group deal through than cancel it. If he desides to not pulling this through maybe someone else in Sweden can take over. |
|
|
| peranders |
I have talked to Kari on the phone and he says:
Those of you who want a refund, send Kari a message about this.
Those of you who want to have your boards, lay low untill January when he plans to order the pcb's and also will have time for this.
Kari through Per-Anders
Notice also that the dollar has dropped significantly so it may be necessary for Kari to charge more but this was only a remark from me. |

Per Anders,
I will respect your wishes but I don't understand why he can't be a man about it and take 5 minutes to make a post himself. |
|

| Yes, you can wonder that but he seems to be at home with his small baby and I'm not sure if a has a computer at home (haven't asked this) or not. |
|

| demogorgon |
well, is there someone who could take over the groupebuy?
Peranders?
I would like to join as well, by snailmail of cource, as i'm under 18 and then naturally dont have visa. |
|
|
| peranders |
| You could ask for instance your parents to pay or ask someone which has a credit card. Meanwhile lay low, I think. Check back in January is my advice at the moment. |
|
|
| demogorgon |
oh, I'v hagged at them for years at different occations, but they are aways so damn catious, thinking the web is always so damn dangerous. they dont seem to get that a virus\trojan free computer eliminates the risk completly with todays solutions.
but laying low it is then.
ps: sorry i never mailed you back when asking about gainclones, but i wan't shure how reject you nicely, so to say :D |
|
|
| dr.strangelove3 |
I'm also annoyed because Kari is not responding, and I have also doubts whether we will receive our PCB's.
But the posting of his adres and telephone number is a little premature. I think it's not correct to post them for everyone to see. It would have been better to send the adres and phone number by mail at request.
This posting of adres and phone number is dangerous. Very unwanted things are possible. Ppl taking unwanted premature actions, taking right into their own hands.
Like Peranders said, wait until januari. (I don't like the waiting either). Peranders jas volunteered to be the contactperson with Kari.
Peranders, you are a moderator. Can you remove the adres and phone number from both forums? |

Hi,
as i'm on a business trip the whole week i have 2 things to do on the evenings, enjoy at least 5 beers or fix the final touch on the boards. Well i'm going to do both :cool:
The boards are coming up really great, i still want to ask you about the padsizes. 2,5mm2 cabel needs a 1.8mm hole so i'm planning on using a pad size of 6mm with a 2mm hole, all this for the power and connections to the driver/ccs boards. Does this sound OK?
demogorgon: add yourself to the wiki and we'll fix the payment.
At the moment there are 96 mainboard and 326 driver/ccs boards on order!
/Kari |
|
|
| kilowattski |
| Why not also space them 7.5mm apart so we could use a PCB terminal block if we wished. If one wants to make a repair or modification, soldering and desoldering those large wires only a few times will most likely destroy the pads on the board. If you look inside one of Nelson Pass's production amps you will see he does use terminal blocks. If you look closely you can see them. Certainly couldn't hurt to but the proper spacing for a pcb terminal block and let the builder decide if he or she wants to use them. BTW, you should do this on both the main PCB and the Gain/CSS boards. Oh and please work on the board first, then have your 5 beers.;) :D |
|
|
| Kari |
Ok, i'll add both options, so you can choose if you want to solder directly to the pcb or use a terminal.

| No avoiding power supply caps building any power amp. If you look at an Aleph 5 there are only 5 capacitors, 36 resistors, 4 zener diodes and 11 transistors in a standard aleph channel. If you figure (26) 1/4 watt resistors @ $0.10 ea. =$2.60, (10) 5 watt power resistors @ $1.00 ea. = $10.00, (4) zener diodes @ $0.15 ea. = $0.60, (5) capacitors @ ~ $2.00 ea. = $10.00 and transistors will cost you about $25. A toroidal transformer will cost you $50 to $75, Filter caps will cost you $12 from Apex Jr. and the heatsink should be about $20 off Ebay. The cost for one channel of an Aleph 5 should cost about $125 to $150 hence $300 total. |

Hi Kari
I have sent you email yet again, but I have not received any answer. I know you properly has alot of other things todo, at this time of the year, but according to the wiki, the deadline for payment is the first of january.
To make it easier, I have copied my mail here:
Hi Kari
I can't seem to get my paypal to work properly. I therefor ask if I can send you cash instead. I really really hope that is possible, because I really want to build the Aleph-X, but I dont think that I would be able to make the pcb myself.
If you accept cash, what should it be? Swedish kroner, danish kroner or american dollars. I have ordered 4 mainboards, and that is 33,6 dollars.

you make it sound so easy Kilowatski. wish it was.
i live in norway, and so i pay duble of what you do in the states ;)
neither is ebay an option, payment outside norway is not possible without paypal.
and i'm 17 so i dont have a visa, and that means no paypal. :whazzat:
but the P3A is possible as of now, and so i'm building that. for now.
maby the Aleph X will come later:rolleyes:

Could you please reconfirm the orders for the boards to the individual buyers, here or on the WIKI page, since there was some confusion/delay wrt. the GP etc.?
Or is the table on the WIKI page the final status and can all users who are listed there as having payed expect to receive the ordered boards? |

That sounds more than fair. I will just let you know though that I havn't yet received your paymentdatails. We agreed on me sending cash instead of trough paypal. Do you know when you will send me the mail? I am really looking forward to your great boards. |

Kari,
I was thinking that I might like to double my PCB order, going for 4 channels incl. driver boards. Is there a waiting list or something for any boards that might go unclaimed?
Alternatively, could anyone who has ordered but has decided NOT to pay etc. let the Groupbuy know?
Should I change my entry in the Wiki, or wait until it all gets sorted out?
Thank You,
EFH |

Hi ppl,
while we are waiting for the boards beeing manufactured i thought i'd update you all of the status. Estimated arrival to me is end of Jan, i have asked for a more specific date so stay tuned.
About the boards, i have added a terminalblock (5mm pitch)for the inputs, you can use a terminalblock or just leave it out. The pads for connecting the mainboard and driver boards have a pitch of 7.62mm so if you want to you can use a termnial block, this also applies to the driverboard. Optionally you can also use a terminalblock with a pitch 5mm on the driver board.
Here are the links to the designs beeing manufactured:

Hi,
i have bad and good news.
The bad news is that i have today received a package with only 3 driver and 3 main boards. I phoned up my pcbfab, and it appears that our order is that big that they insist on sending sample boards first for approval before the real production.
The good news is that. i'm very glad that i did receive the samples, because the hole sizes are not correct. I have now sent the corrections to him and he will press the GO button.
So i'm kindly asking yet again for your patience.
I'll post pictures as soon as i can.

Death, the thing we all wait the longest for, and the thing we all want the least.
Kind of seems contradictory to "Good things come to all that wait"
Just thought I would share. :)
