Someone's using that term a bit too loosely. Just saying...
If stars align, ModuShop cuts holes in aluminum sheets according to their committed schedule, and FedEx delivers from Europe on time, I'll have a stereo Modulus-686 amp with me.
I'll bring longer cables this time as the 5' ones I brought last time made people question my manhood. Can't have that! 🙂

Let there be amplifiers. And there was amplifiers.
I'm winding down after spending my afternoon and evening putting my amp together for the meet. 2 x Modulus-686 powered by two Mean Well RPS-400-27-C. Should provide 125-130 W into 8 Ω and 200 W into 4 Ω.
Testing is tomorrow. Yay.
Those interested in more of the build process can find a stack of pictures starting here:
Modulus-686: 380W (4Ω); 220W (8Ω) Balanced Composite Power Amp with extremely low THD

Tom - this post prompted me to review your website again -some very well thought out products - makes me want to think about building nice things again.
Tom,
I was thinking of giving you the back deck with the showcase triple.
Stefan has been kind enuff to ship me a pair of the A11ms for this years diyFEST. We will be able to compare Eikona2 in the Hawking Memorial Obelisk, the Alpair 10.3eN in Pensil10.3, and the A11ms in either FHXL or the Woden ML-TL Chris is threatening to build before his shop priviledges are suspended.
I have a MacBook with an HD full of tunes and a decent Firewire DAC as a front-end.
Bring your own speaker cables (or adaptors). Everthing here is banana plugs (many dual) or bare wire.

Ah Yes, North American copper wire with bare wire termination! My favorite combo for good sound...😀
Best Regards,

It sound good to my ears for sure. I built two of these amps and have them powering my LXmini. Epic combination! I'm looking forward to hearing the MOD686 on a full-ranger.
Thank you.
Tom
hello folks:
here is an intro to my winter amp building adventures: F4 monoblocks, 6v6,6l6gc,kt66 BabyHuey. Just a few things to sort out before the gathering.

not smart enough to attach pictures. Oh well I guess you have to be there to see and hear what i am bringing
Talked to Nerdorama yesterday . . . there's room to bring this year's creation to VI diyFest.
Bass units are (unknown) 15", top units are Celestion 6.5" with coax compression driver. Both units have a high Q, so both are suited for OB.
Parallel 4th order xover, ~150 and 3400 Hz.
This combo took a bit of coaxing to tame the response. 😉
I believe SCD and other fans of bass might like it.

hello John:
I have not really spent much time listening yet. I am hoping to get some time this week. Had a little trouble with filament power supply. Daniel hooked me up with a spare that goes in tonight.
The F4 needs a big swing pre-Amp to really sing.
See you soon

Dave,
I have a little Raspberry Pi based music server that I'm working and would like to bring it this weekend. Can I log into your wifi to get it setup and working?
Thanks,
John
