ZCA 5 watt mosfet amp

Efren Noble · 24th April 2009, 10:40 AM

Good day,

anybody out there tried this single mosfet amp? If so, how do you compare this with the HIRAGA or JLH? It just caught my curiosity.

Many thanks in advance.

I just had a glimpse of the project at Mark Houston's site, its a single mosfet amp, a lot of DIYers already built this, some posted their pics, power aside, can it be comparable to a HIRAGA or a JLH?

I'm planning to build one

regards,

it is a very nice amplifier .... but power is so low ....that is actually doesnt worth to bulit it ....

it can makeeven cr**py speakers sound amazing
with extra super sensistive and efficient speakers you might be able to have a bearly listening system for every day casual listening

be advised ....the zca is the ultimate energy killer ....it will produce a hell of a lot of heat and consume serious ammounts of energy just to produce a few watts ]

I do not think goes to 5 watts...will be distorting a lot.

There are a growing number of situations where 5W is sufficient... my main amps are 3.8W.
