Official LYNX Power Amp builder’s thread

[Jan Dupont]

The original Group Buy thread can be found here: LYNX Group Buy

I would like to point out that my time is limited and that I have NO possibility nor intend to answer questions like “How will the LYNX Amp sound with xx transistors in the VAS” or “Can I use xx Opamp instead?”

Basic information can be found in LYNX Amp “Quick Assembly Guide” here LYNX v3.0 Quick Assembly Guide and I’ll notify you all here each time I up update it.
The Guide contains basic circuit description, BOM (Bill Of Material) and explanations how you calculate some of the resistor values etc.

Please remember that this is a DIY project.

Happy building.

Good stuff Jan. I expect this will be a popular DIY project. Your design work is exceptional.

Hopefully relevant questions

Picture of board clearly shows 6 x 2watt resistors

So which of 122-125 should be 2watt ?


Another thing

I want to use quality resistors and have trouble finding some of the values
R115 should be 210ohm...will it be ok to use either 200ohm or 220ohm

I take it that 0.5watt instead of 0.6watt will be ok

[Jan Dupont]

tinitus;

You are right. It could have been more specified, however at the bottom on page three, it states "How to calculate R122 and R123 (2W Zener resistors).....

No problems in using either 200R or 220R for R115.

0.5W resistors should be fine,

Hai friends from indonesia anyone want to build lynx V3 ? I just want to say I want to build that but i can not join with group buy because i dont have paypal etc,,, so sadnees

let's make indonesian group buy ! he he he

Jan,
That is one of the most professional looking build guides I have seen for any DIY project!
Thanks for taking the time to put that together for us. It should make building this amplifier easy for just about anyone.

Thanks,
Donovan

Thanks Donavan

Hi, and thanks for the groupbuy.

Is there a clear disadvantage to use MJE15030 instead of MJE15032?

[Jan Dupont]

Only that it's recommended that you keep your Rail Voltages below +/-60 Volts DC
