Hi Jim
Looks like you create a balance output from the unbalance....correct? how is this done and did the sound quality improve?
Hi, no it is not balanced. I am guessing that the connecters threw you off.What looks like an XLR from that angle is actually a Neutrik rca.

Hi Tosh,

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I heartily encourage locals to take at least the beginning machining class at De Anza College just for fun.
I felt I had to leave the innards visible and accessible for many reasons, like reconnecting from 4ch to paralleled 2ch mode.

What about powder coating?my aleph5,i must put eloxation and do something with front pannel.
As you already know... sometimes less is more... 😉Any sugestions for front panel?
Or, you can add instruments for bias adj. (mV, mA) and and... 😉

I present my F5 (taa-daa!)...yet another one of Nelson's designs rolls off the virtual production line 🙂
I finally got around connecting it to my Brines FT1600s speakers and was mightily impressed when compared to the various amps I have owned over the years.The drive, weight, bass and texture of the sound certainly put a smile on my face!
Thanks Nelson 🙂

Looks good, personally id upgrade those output wires to a bit thicker 🙂 Thats kinda small wire..
Nice one Richard. I hope build; when I finally get round to it; goes as well and looks as good.
