A guide to building the Pass F4 amplifier

solve it with a CL-60 (or similar) between channel ground at the board level and AC mains ground at power entry.

@ItsAllInMyHead answered the question and I'm just adding a photo from Randy's build guide. Sorry I missed that in the massive photo dump.

Got a small issue while trying to finish an F4.

testing one channel at a time. The first one I tried to bias starts out at 210mv but continues to climb up over 230mv and doesn’t stop. I will note that I added a 10k resistor in parallel to R9 during the build.

I checked all solder joints and they look good.

Psu Voltage is stable at +-22.40 Volts.

Any help is appreciated

I just tried the opposite channel and it didn’t fire up as high as 210mv. It started up at 160mv but it did the same thing and kept climbing upwards.

I wonder if I have the wrong diodes in D2. I bought them at a local electronics store but could have grabbed ones not in the right location.
