Is there an actual Wolverine Design thread? I would like to find the best place(s) to read up on design choices - I like to understand what I build, not just assembling a kit 😊

This thread covers a bit of the 'origin' and design decisions made along the way.

Thread 'DIYA store "Wolverine" (Son of Badger) .... suggestions ??'

Been working on the new store amp.

The old "Honey Badger" is a nice amp.
But , it was such a long time ago. Like Windows XP 😀 .

It's 2021 , time for ....

- EF3 (like a leach amp - or HK680) goodness.
- Ripple cancelling rail traces.
- P/N/P/N/P/N alternating output device genders - consistant thermals and
NFB takeoff nodes throughout.
- 2 X 2W-.47R per output device Re , or single MOS 5w 220mOhm ones.
- Cap multipliers.
- .5A +/- 12v aux. supplies with external output built in.
- Servo.
- And , A SIP connector for the ability to add any 20th century classic input
stage to this...

Excellent will add that to my reading list - I already read Douglas Self on power amps, and starting Bob Cordell now.
Will also have a look at YouTube.
