finished my amp, its a LJM L25 amplifier board with 300VA 50+50 transformer and 8 x 5600uF 100V capacitors.
there is a Rod Elliot soft start & speaker protector. 12VDC comes from a downlight PSU.
case is a mnix of 3mm aluminium (covered in 4D vinyl wrap that they use for cars) and "DVA One Way Vision Mesh" that is used on security doors (i had it laying around after suing it as leaf guard on gutters)
there is a vishay cermet pot for the volume, but it is a sub woofer amp, so leave it at full volume and control levels with receiver.
it's doing its sub woofer duties nicely. haven't tried it as a full-rage amplifier yet...

Sajti, Very nice and clean as always. will you attach heatsinks to the back panel or it's some kind of class B amp?
...7 year project
I'm enjoying it in combination with a bluesound streamer each day. Even my wife likes it (most scrarefull thing from the entire project)!!!
Some specs:
- PSU output stage: 1KVA 2X36V (2X52VDC), hexfred diodes and CLC (C=22000µF Vishay 106PED series)
- Driver section: has an extra 4R7 + 10000µF RC combination on top.
- PSU front end: 50VA + cap multiplier (2X61VDC)
- Front end:
- input jfet's 2SK389+2SJ109 cascoded with 2SK216 + 2SJ79, biased at 6mA
- VAS mosfets: IRF710 + IRF9610 biased at 25mA
- takman REX resisters and charcroft Z-foil feedback resistor
- Output stage:
- 7pair 2SA1386/2SC3519 matched Sanken bjt's, biased at 105mA with 0.5% 0R22 Dale emitter resistors
- 2SK1530 + 2SJ201 mosfet driver, biased at 110mA.
- 12Wrms class A into 8R
- 150Wrms into 8R. And capable of easily driving 2Ohm loads.
- Solid state speaker protection based on TA7317P IC
- controller board with soft start, power on push button over-temperature detection circuitry
- dimensions: W450mm x H220mmx D420mm
- Weight: around 20kg each
- both amps are connected with each other via a 3.5mm jack. With one push button I can switch on and off both amps. For switching on, one has to push the button for about 4seconds (child protection
to not burn the soft start resistors.)
More to find: 2nd amp from scratch: Low NFB- FET front end - BJT OPS
Thanks to all here!!

The 3mm back panel has cutout, and the output devices mounted directly to the heatsink. Class AB with 70mA bias on each output devices.

Very nice Ben,
Also you have your speakers , time for me to come over and listen😉
Just say when , I'm home the whole coming week (hint) .

thanks (i think), i certainly didn't 'copy' anyone else's project - that's for sure 😉
but working fine and wife has accepted it's mantel atop the subwoofer now, so all's well!
My last super release (of the 7/8 released 😕😕 😀😀 in the last 15 years) of the NAIM H140 clone:
- Power supply soft-start circuit,
- Power supply circuit with two-stage RF suppressor,
- Dual-mono stabilised power supply stage for "differential input stage" and "pilot stage",
- BJT linear power supply stage of low impedance dual-mono type with 4 fast double-diodes for each channel and total filtering capacity 84,000 uF,
- 600VA audio-grade toroidal transformer,
- NAIM 140 clone with circuit type in Class "AB" with "almost complementary" Darlington (Rail positive) + Sziklai (Rail negative) configuration,
- DC voltage protection on the output speaker terminals,
- Continuous power output x 2: 110 Watt on 8 Ohm - 190 Watt on 4 Ohm
- Maximum power output on 10 mS burst and loads up to a minimum of 2 Ohm: 320 Watt per channel
- Bandwidth: 120,000 Hertz / -3 dB
- Input impedance: 18K Ohm

Mate, used a couple of fans in my last two 300W SSamps even with massive heatsinks. 12V silent fans running on 9V mounted on two layers of FATdouble sided tape. And sit the amp on a towel to absorb audio turbine noise. Works a treat.
Thank you for your excellent advice.
Although I must admit that the fans of the thermostated forced ventilation system (activation threshold at 55 degrees Celsius detected on the heatsink) shown in the picture, even though they are of computer-derived derivation on a low noise fluid-dynamic support, are really very silent.

Thank you.
And I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate @Bensen on the excellent engineering that I personally appreciate so much.
When "cleanliness" and aesthetics of the realization, they stop being something ephemeral and become functional of the realization.
Hi Ultima, very good job indeed
BTW, where did you buy this kind of chassis?
Cheers,
Valery

Hello Valery,
with a touch of Italian pride, the company is Italian and has been operating in the specific sector of cabinets for electronic use for more than 40 years: HIFI-2000.
Among other things, besides producing cabinets of different heights and depths and with "dissipating" sides, it also ships abroad without any particular problems.
Pino.
Hi Pino!
Thank you for the info - I know these guys, very good ones, I have 2 cabinets (dissipating) from them. Quality products and nice international shipment capanilities.
Time to look at their products once again 😀
Cheers,
Valery
