Where are pcb jpeg or pdf ?




Hi thimios, if you can wait a few days ...

There is an improved layout for the A14, but it is not yet tested. However, I will do that in the next few days.

The changes are:


  • Separation from SGND and PGND
  • TL071 instead TL072
  • some changes in the routing
  • Capacitors in the power supply voltage
  • Space for small heatsinks for drivers

regards
Olaf

Yes i will wait for a better pcb.I agree that strong signals must be away from small signals in pcb .
Take your time.

A9 is the king!

I am not sure where to post it but I will take a chance and post the resaults here.

I have spend plenty of time with A9 based amp, lot of listening tests, measurements, swapping the resistors over and over (I only have to match VAS load resistors - I do not know exacly how to calculate them). The key was to find proper ratio (gain) in fallowing stages. I was recalculating bias in all stages with differed ratios + splitted NFB values and the bellow setup gave me the best resaults - H2 is dominating all the way threw audio band and the harmonics spectrum is very flat, amp sound superb.
Simple suff can sound and perform very well. Bellow prototype board and schematic.

Highly recommended!
Thanks Mile.


Regards
