A40 Questions
I have a nice chassis and PSU parts that I would like to use (if possible) to build an A40.
The 1200va toroids I have are 60-0-60, which gives me ~80v DC rails after rectification and CLCRC filtering. Is there anyway to use this to power an A40?
Next, has anyone done a dual mono setup (layout and pcbs) for this amp?
Thanks for your time,
Donovan

Terry,
Hats off to you. That is one awesome unit you have put together. I love seeing circuits go from theory/test pieces into real pieces of useable gear.
Humbly yours,
Evan

Hi Donovan,
I believe +-80V is too high for the A40. Yo may need to look at one of Mile's class H amps. I'm not sure if the A40 could be modified to handle more output transistors. That might be a possibility. My A40 uses 63V caps so +-60V is about all I can go. Even that will be working hard with a 4 ohm load. Mile did design a PSU that is adjustable so that also might be a solution.
I alredy save this file,but after extracted i only see PSU file no another file.
What's the problem sir?
Thanks Terry.
How about 70vdc rails, if I had the caps and components to support it?
My other option is to go with a much less powerful power supply and hope it would work with my power hungry speakers.

You need Sprint Layout software ,then look on the bottom left.Switch between all.

Mile would be able to answer that better. For sure you will need to use at least 80V caps. Maybe Mile will chime in.
Use Regulated PSU for Amps with 4 pairs of outputs, output voltage can be set from +/-55V to +/-90V.

Help! ;-)
Can someone out there help me with making a dual mono layout for the A40?
I have a large (5U Dissipante) chassis that previously housed a couple of different class A amps and would like to use the PSU, etc. for this project if possible.
