Is cool Dx Super A is a design from Carlos destroyer x you should try out sounds really good

in this link you will find more information about this new type of amplifier.

Well I call it Super A because that is the name the schematic designer use, so I will keep calling it Dx Super A the layout was design entirely in Puerto Rico with the help from destroyer x was not easy at all but was accomplish.

I've seen some of your and Carlos' work already (power supply), and liked that also.

I was wondering about the flat heatsink, but maybe Puerto Rico is much cooler than I thought... "Super A" and "Supercharger" sounds like more power than I can afford,

This one only cost about $12:

Losten13,
WOW...fantastic...looks like the equipment from Flash Gordon movie

Where did you get that nice heat sink?

This one came from a company in Michigan, Heatsink USA. I think they advertise somewhere in this forum. Their pricing and estimated thermal capacity seems very honest to me. I compared their C/W ratings with some similar "finished" products (which I knew to be not-so-accurate) before I ordered.

The one you see in the pic above is 10x4 inches with 1" fins... overkill for what I am building now, but I will be using it as the side of my chassis, similar to some of the commercial chassis you see in the DIY store here.

10.000" - HeatsinkUSA, LLC Store

The heat sinks are not "finished", meaning not anodized or painted etc., and you may have to use a little sand paper or a file on the edges, because they come cut in the size you order directly from the shop. However, the side that matters is nice and flat & very clean (I had a friend measure it in a machine shop). Much better than "mill finish" aluminum plate.

Here is another picture of a different chassis prototype with the same heatsink, after drilling and machining, but before surface finishing (not complete, but I think you can see the important parts):

Hello,

my Aleph3 replica gets a support from my new preamp now...
also a Pass design features a single stage MOSFET class A amplification.
It is integrated with a 128-steps potentiometer (based on a relay switching).
I also integrated a TDA1541A S1 NOS DAC with discrete OPAmps as output stage.
(...for my Micromega DUO CD2 transport).
But have a look for yourself...
Best regards

well poluchilos.that circuit preamplifier and power amplifier?

Very nicely done! That Aleph is a very neat and tight fit!

Hello valvesound,

here are some inner details of the aleph (of cause it's very tight...)
I build it as a double mono construction with two transformers and two power boards.
I also integrated two separate soft start with separate speaker protection.
you see, every space in the amplifier is well filled...

You did a good job packing everything in there. I like those heat-sinks but would not have used them because I would not have envisaged all that can be packed in such a small space. Well done entenschreck!

 

[entenschreck]

The small place was a compromise because of the huge heatsinks.
The task setting was an amplifier not larger than the standard size, but with an effective cooling.
And it works very well... temperature rises never over 55°C (131°F), not like the original

Working on the new full featured preamp - but still months to go. This is a big one mechanically and electrically

Hat's off and congratulations to entenschreck for a truly formidable build. I hope it sounds as good as it looks and I am quite sure it does!

 

[entenschreck]

Many thanks for the nice comments...

I still have a (design-) problem... i got new solid chassis feets and volume knobs.
Which one of the volume knobs would you prefer?
I'm really undecided...
