Hi again! there was something wrong with the pictures of the Leach-Amp.

Here they are (hopefully):

That looks really good. I see you've got quite a lot of filtering caps in there. How much capacitance per rail do you have?

Hi!

Yes are right. For this Leachamp per channel I used 2 x 66.000uF /63V Caps. The transformer is a 500VA-type.

I don't think I've heard of anybody using quite so much capacitance before in a leach amp. That thing must run 30 seconds unplugged. But I do love overkill

How does it sound? Did you make your own boards? Very nice job.

Hi MikeW!

The "sound" of the leach amp is very clear and the bass is deep. I gave the amp maybe an overdimensioned Power supply (2x 60.000uF /500 VA transformer).

I plan to compare this Amp with expensive amps available on the market.

The boards are made by myself.

Now I'm thinking on new layout for an active laoudspeaker system.
