Remember the scene in My Cousin Vinny where the DA is asking the prosecution's witness about the equipment used to analyze evidence?
"I have a dual-column gas chromatograph, Hewlett-Packard model 5710a with flame analyzing detectors."
The D.A. quipped, "Does that thing come turbo-charged?" and
The witness answered, "Only on the floor models."

Two years ago i built an F5 using the Quad 306 circuit and a 35v transformer. (i was impatient to check the amp and had no proper transformer in hand)
It was working properly.
The drawback was i had to increase capacitance a lot. (On a filtering point of view, capacitors are serial connected this way and so value is halved)
After some time, i bought the proper transformer because my (big) capacitors were too cumbersome to be boxed.

A real F5 TURBO would use a flux capacitor!
It has the power needed for the most difficult loads. We will need to upgrade the power supply because the flux capacitor requires 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power to operate. Anyone for a transformer group buy?
BTW, it would not make an F5X, but rather a type of F5Y. (do I hear Nelson running to the patent office?)

I think you need to look up flux capacitor!real F5 Turbo doesn't use xformer and caps at all !
it's connected ditto to 42
As Prof. Leach used to say : it takes three months to gather the parts, and another three to assemble it.

Get same pizza for setting the Bias.
Has any one read part 6 of 3 ?
I would just like to thank Nelson for sharing the turbo design with me. I am free to share it but only by email and first you must agree to a NDTZM agreement. Non-disclosure to ZenMod.
Has anyone tried to lower the Bias Current?
How will it sound and are there issues with Thermistor?
I need an Amp with relative low Power Consumption because I can't afford 24/7 running...
Remote Bias would be great 😀
For cold winter days and/or active listening I have two over-biased Balanced F4's 🙂
Best regards

This was discussed a few days ago

Hi Folks.
These threads are just too much.
So a quick question: where can I find a power supply parts list - maybe boards for it plus maybe a complete resistor set - in fact 4.
Thanks and best wishes
Chris
