Something doesn't sound right here, hope this is ironed out the best way possible so nobody feels betrayed.

If someone had his phone number, it would be easy to check with him quickly. OS seems to me to put on his happy face when on the forums, and no one can blame him (who doesn't?). So we cannot really know what he is dealing with at home. Some people are continually under the weather. I want to be patient and give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I've found on the internet people tend to always want MOAR, NAO. I never questioned this until people gained interest in one of my projects.

Still, does someone have his number?

WHICH ONE IS RIGHT SCHEMATIC THAT YOU ALL TALK ABOUT THIS AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT? AND PLEASE POST IT I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS AMPLIFIER SOUNDS GOOD?

HOW MANY WATTS IS THAT OSTER GIVE ?? WHICH ONE IS RIGHT OSTER OR THE ANOTHER ONE?

Hi guys,

I think it would be nice that somebody took over this interesting project. Would you agree with me Mark?

Anyone know where ostripper has gotten too? I hope he is ok.

If anyone wants to build this amp all the info is on these pages. Schematic and pcb layout are both correct. BTW "rissoto" this amp sounds fantastic and is rated at 180w into an 8ohm load. I have done a side by side comparison with destroyers blame st amplifier(60w) and sonically there is no difference only this can provide more power and so has some more headroom. Just build it already.

Ok guys I really appreciate your interest. And I'd appreciate your input/help.

The problem as I understand it is that Gerber files can't be edited. They are like an output file, but you need the original Eagle files or whatever to go back to to make mods. We HAVE the Gerber files. But best that we can determine, the spacing of the holes doesn't match our "diyAudio Standard"

So you'll say "well just send it out already, who cares about the standard", and I think you're right, but I would ask if there's someone who can make the changes first- or it it is even possible..

The advantage of the standard, is that someone who has a chassis with heatsinks drilled for the First Watt amps, can easily switch to this amp and vice versa. Also if we produce a chassis with drilled hole on the heatsinks, these boards and the MOSFETS will screw right on..

BUT if we can't confirm the hole spacing or change it , We'll just send it out and get some really great boards in a month..

I can't help unfortunately as I made my own boards from the jpg's ostripper provided. Had no problem with spacing though.

Mark, you can get free Gerber viewers online to print out OS's work and check it.

Can anyone reverse engineer the Gerber files back to a PCB layout in it's various layers?
