5U/500 Modushop case would likely cope with that
I know that I'll be more than happy with regular F4, having 25W/8R in A Class and 50W/4R in AB Class, driving ESL63
there are few more candidates, probably even better to drive it, but they aren't current buffers without voltage gain
point is - you don't need that voltage headroom, nor you need more current than F4 is capable to give easily
anyway, as any project is, beside many other things, complex set of compromises - you need to choose your own set

Hi ZM,
As I have been toying with the same idea of using a F4 for driving my ESL63 I would be interested in hearing what you are hinting at here.
Thanks,
Mogens

5U/500 😱, I was thinking of the 4U/300 as suggested in DIYShop, or the 3U/400 witch has approximately the same heatsink area as 4U/300.
that one per channel will do the job, then
if you think different, feel free to make Perpetuum Mobile, too 🙂

Hi DIY team.
I hope all well and safe. I am a new member building a F4 amp. I am looking at ordering the parts. F4 boards are sold out so I hope they come in soon.
When I buy the parts shall I follow the BOM in the Nelson Pass F4 manual dated 2007 OR shall I follow the diyaudio store BOM dated 2011?
R3-4 and R8 and R10-15 are different Nelson vs store.
I have not ordered any parts yet so I just like to make sure I do it right.
Some help is appreciated.

It looks like the store was referencing a slightly older schematics. I suggest
using the values in the current manual.

Thanks a lot Dennis!
The DIY Store schematics is dated 2011 and the store BOM by JojoD818 is dated 2013.
The NP Manual schematics is dated 2007.
So I shall follow the NP 2007 schematics as attached. Correct?

Great one Dennis. Many thanks!
So the NP Manual schematic is updated but not the date. Clever one!
Cheers!

Best Precision Shunt Regulator
Hi Team.
What is the best regulator for the F4?
Can I use TL431B?
TL431BVLPRAG has 0.4% tolerance and 50 PPM/C.

Use the inexpensive one that has the most in stock. The circuit has 2 pots in it to let you adjust it perfectly.

Thanks 6L6!!
The cheapest one with big stock is TL431CZT. 2% tolerance and 100 ppm. EUR 0,315.
The TL431BVLPRAG is EUR 0,405 and 0,4% and 50 ppm.
If I can find the EUR 0,1 extra in my pocket is it a good idea and will it work to buy TL431BVLPRAG??

Get the part that will make you sleep better at night.
The only suggestion I have is to buy at least 10 to get quantity discount,
since you can use them in other designs.... 🙂

I find that it is invariably the best quality part not the cheapest that ‘sits well with me’ long term. Even if it’s under the hood, I know it’s there!

Sorry me again.....
The R16-21 resistors 0.47R 3w.
I see many use the 5% 300ppm Panasonic ERX resistor. They are EUR 0,9 a pop.
Is it a waste of money to upgrade to a resistor 1% 90ppm with Ayrton-Perry winding at EUR 2.5?
For my peace of mind it is worth it but is it technically?

Bigun I totally get your point. I am with you!
