First One v1.4 initial THD measurements
Hi guys
New Year 2015 will bring First One v1.4 and VSSA v1.5 based on initial 4 ppm THD 1 Wrms/8 Ohm real world measurements.
100 Hz is well suppressed at around -130 dB. 😉
Stable output DC offset without DC servo.
Same size, same fixation holes layout, same power, same price. 😀
Stay tuned, L.C.

Strange: No harmonics in your graph, where they are supposed to be ...real world measurements.
Yes, agree, still a lot to be done before official launch, but I'm well railed on the track. 😀Wow.. I am glad 2015 is just days away!
No plans in this regard, v1.4 on completely new PCB, new layout, still the same dimensions, same mounting holes layout, same power, same price.Any plans for upgrading 1.2 or 1.3 to 1.4?
Thanks

Signal harmonics hidden bellow noise level, some signal generator - sound card and PC artefact spikes present, lowering THD+noise but that's clearly avoidable with real source connection to be present. 🙂Strange: No harmonics in your graph, where they are supposed to be ...

If no upgrade are offered and as I know you, we'll see your older FO amp modules up for sale beginning of 2015 😛
All the best for the coming holidays folks !

Hi , LS!!
Parcel received, all in the best possible way.
Thank you!
Between the radiator and the transistor need to apply some insulators?
Or transistor can be set directly on the thermal grease on the heat sink?

Yes you do need to put in some mica+thermal grease or thermal pads (like SIL-PAD 600 or equivalent) on the output devices but I cannot remember if the other ones are isolated or not, you can look and if it is full plastic underneath than it is isolated and will just require thermal grease.
Ciao!

Hi L.C.,
I'm waiting to come out your F.O. v1.4. 😉
BTW, could you let me know PCB hole size for F.O. and DC sense?
Because I'm going to prepare my chassis.
Cheers,
Sean

I'm about to build a set of Linkwitz Orion 3.5 speakers and he says this about powering the woofers;
"If the two 10" drivers of the woofer are connected in parallel, then they present a low 2 ohm impedance to the power amplifier around 100 Hz. The power amplifier driving this load must be capable of at least 200 W into 4 ohm."
Will one of your 1.2 modules be ok to power 2 of the 10" woofers in parallel?

What is the damping factor for 8Ohms load?
Post #1 of this thread for all the specs 😎
230 Wrms/4 Ohm is an output power of First One module. Please link the driver specs.
D1004-04 L26RO4Y
thanks
One First One module per woofer driver is exact match. 😉
Power supply SMPS3kA400, Hypex, for four modules.

Hi! LC.
Prompt pinout connector J4. SMPS1200A180 v7
where there are 9 and 10 pins?
On the other side of J4 connector, opposite from 1,2:

Look to 2x5 pin boxheader connector pinout.
