I somehow stumbled into diy again after nearly 25 years have passed since my last project. On an online market I came across a guy, who had started to build up an Nelson Pass F5T V3. The project was started together with a friend of him, who unfortunatly passed away. Because of this circumstances he didn`t want to work on this project anymore. Since I`ve been always attracted by class a amps, I decided to buy from the guy what was already there and to finish the project. By searching the internet for scematics and more information about this amp, I came across the forum and joined as a quiet reader of the threads regarding the F5T some weeks ago. As I need a good preamp too, this led me to the BA3 threads and currently supplies are coming in with the material I`ve ordered. My plan is to get everything done during winter and I`m really eager to hear the difference to the 6550 push pull tube amp I use right now. Of course I hope to get some help from all of you here if needed. 🙂 thnx in advance!

Hi Chris, thnx for the kind offer to help out if needed. In the meantime I‘ve built an preamp based on the BA3 article from Nelson, a Pearl 3, a BA2 with complementary OS and currently I‘m finishing my F5T v3. Had a ground loop over my RCA cables and also needed to implement forced cooling. But That’s adressed already. The beast should be ready in about 2 weeks. Nice to see more people from Austria in this Forum. 😀
