Very neat and compact,
Is there a reason you decided to use Speakon Connectors for the mains supply,
IEC connectors should be a cheaper option?

then I sure hope the are powercon connectors, and not speakon
reason they are used in the pro sound world, they dont come loose like the ordinary hifi thingies tend to all too easy
move the amp just one bit, and its already beginning to fall out

I really like the Neutrik Powercon connectors. The hole is round, they lock nicely and look nice (to me). I used Neutrik rca's too since their quality is way better than that of the ebay cheap ones I had on my previous amp. The connectors between the DSP and PowerAmp are Neutrik too. I just like their products.
I have access to a punch press with round punches so making round holes is WAYY easier than any other shape.

Vintage Amber preamp 2 and Audionics CC3 power amp!

The latest builds

Those are fake 1943's & 5200's!

It seems I am not the only one.

Complited Hibrid Power Amplifier (mosfet+bipolar in parallel).

The look is very nice: slim and sober!

Here is a B1 + USB DAC I just finished today.

The DAC is a stripped down Behringer UCA202.

Very nice build! I really like the volume knob. You should try a TKD potentiometer, it is a big step up from Alps

I like N-Brock! Very nice looking build.

1-day project

Based on ESP P68. Proto1 is done. I have yet to connect a proper heatsink to both OPS and MJE's. I have a "large" DC offset of 30mVdc at low supply rails (+/-20Vdc). Is that acceptable in this design?

 

[regiregi22]

IME, 30mVdc is quite common an acceptable in almost any design

 

[superR]

Nothing to worry about then? I have not built an amplifier yet with more than 10mVdc offset so I was alarmed.

 

[regiregi22]

Even up to 100mVdc is not uncommon for a Gainclone, for example

Routhun tested his SYMEF over the weekend. You can read the review here Routhun SYMEF

you should not test an amp without the heatsinks on the output transistors and the 30mv is not so bad.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
