Finished first amp!

Bikeman · 18th January 2005, 12:44 AM

Hi eveverybody,
I Just finished my first amp.
Much to me relief, it worked first time I powered up!

All the boards are by ESP (http://sound.westhost.com). I wanted to go for a proven design on my first attempt.
It consists of:
P3a power boards, at 35V for approx 60W 8ohm
P97 preamp, with OPA2134 op-amps
300va toroid, 20400 uf per rail.
Chassis is my own work. Uses conrad heatsinks. Obligitory blue LED.

I'm very happy so far, sounds great to me.
Here are a few pics:

Even my GF is happy, although that is probably because she finlly gets the kitchen table back....
