DIY ACA mini

[Zen Mod]

joking of course...... I can't even imagine all problems when changing platforms

At the moment the management is quite caught up in the transition to the new forum software, so any store topics are on hold

Since production of kits is not a store problem per se, I expect both to be accomplished shortly. Biggest issue is lead times on some components.

At this point, I can not tell when ZM is joking or not joking... 😀

Next thing ZM will say is he is changing his platform from SITs to tubes.

But in the meantime, I will wait for the new ACA mini to land in the store because that is the best support I can give. And also try to figure out a case option for it.

ZM never jokes.

Any idea on when the Mini ACA will show up in diyaudio store? Would it be made available on Passdiy store with Jfets like the B1 and Pearl 2

Thank you!

^ yeesh, this question has only been asked, like at least 20 times before.
Do the work and look a little earlier in the thread.

I think we should focus on getting the PCB out first.

Yes this

I’m already advocating that the ground plane have holes to support the ACA mini.
Then maybe we have 2 new standards for future “tower” projects, plus Raspi Pi holes….
Although drilling holes in a PCB isn’t difficult.

Glad you like this. Seemed a good way to put them together.

hmm I like this idea, but I wonder if the ACP+ mosfets get enough airflow?

I've been running it for a few days now with no problems, but will check the temps of the ACP+ and report back.

Enthusiastically recommended! 🙂

We don't need no stinking chip amps.

 

[Zen Mod]

(damn, that Aleph case is so damn sexy .......... )

Michael, you should crank out a few dozen of those to offer through the store as an option!

Nicely done! 🙂

Beautifull!

Usualy I don't like to add "things", but this wooden base looks so right and so nice... Yep, should be an option in the store, not sure I can make it look so good!

Thanks and again well done

Michael, that's a beautiful base for the amp. Nicely done!

 

[mgb1965]

Also a nice base below the wooden base!

😉

That wooden base is really really nice, looks like 13 ply birch plywood, I gotta get some.

How did you remove the middle so nicely? You have a CNC machine?

Thanks for sharing

It may be 2 layers, one with the opening, then glued together..
