my aleph 3 clone

traw · 13th December 2006, 04:48 PM

selling off my aleph 3 clone... not traditional monster as used forced air cooling with potentiometer to adjust speed or halt. works well, about 90 deg F. otherwise hits 160 passive, hits 130 if stand on face for sinks to breathe vertically....

dual mono, 2 225v plitrons. per side, 2x22000uf - 0.47R - 2 x22000uf. so 88000 per channel. caps on same board sharing ground plane only. also 4.7uf polyprop filters and 0.1 wima's. rails are 23.5 loaded. aleph3 but actually more like aleph30 with one less set of output fets. biased bumped up to 2.5 amps over orig 2 amp.

vishay resistors, panasonic 220 caps.

sounds fantastic but need to buy more stuff to finish my aleph 5

have top plate, but need to drill vent holes in it.

300 bucks + shipping

Hi,

How many watts per channel is it?

I'm putting together a stereo with a rebuild turntable and would like a tube amp. Would this work well in that scenario? Would this need a pre-amp too?

hard for me to give subjective answer... aleph sound is my favorite (thus building bigger aleph 5). only amp i've listened to that gives the special liquidity and body i like.

it should be around 30 into 8 and 60 into 4... but after dabbling with a mini derivative aleph of only 15 watts, numbers are decieving. you would need a preamp.

Wow That is a great looking amp. The Aleph are killer sounding amps. That is an interesting looking board. Is that a Aleph 3 only board? I would be interested in boards if you have them.

regards

have a few extra boards that will unload in few weeks (made enough to drive down unit cost but trying to keep some sanity) - gonna make sure my aleph 5 works first (should).
