Doh! same schematic......
Thanks!

Hi!Zen ,thanks for your reply....a little question for your answare:
Are you sure that your considerations about c1 and r1 are correct also for the balance use of the amp?
If yes.. for you, why Mr.Pass had used this items ?
Thanks in advance.
Zen Mod;2965917 - foolproof reasons[/QUOTE said:but from you advice, that is, remove C1 and R10, would not seem so foolproof 😀, why precisely, Mr. Pass, designed the circuit with these two components,,, is not it?😕
because of possibility that his amp is going to buy some ignorant bstrd , eager to connect it to source with some DC on output ?
😉

perfect, now it is all clear, except for a small doubt that inquiries concerning R10, that is, if you Elima this resistance, you do not create an imbalance between the two half-waves of negative and positive, the audio signal?
I say this because I see that on the input signal positive there the resistor network formed by R1/R2/R3 and negative input is formed by the resistive network R9/R10.
thanks for your patience.😉
do not worry

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
is it save to use 25V cap for Aleph30 power supply? I was going to purchase in PCX for nichicon super through 15.000uF 50V, but when I look at MUNDORF M-Lytic AG @25V with cheaper price, it's a huge improvement on cap bank capasitance size. need your advice.
- Nichicon ST -> 8 x 15.000uF 50V @$27 = $216 (total 120.000uF)
- Mundorf Ag -> 12 x 47.000uF 25V @$17 = $204 (total 564.000uF)
I find that papa is using 25V caps on his F5

xformer secondaries - 2x18Vac
perfecto, 2 pcs of 2x18Vac 225VA, 4x47.000uF 25V per channel.
while 6x47.000uF 25V per channel seems too big capacitance
Asking, asking, asking always lead to a better result 🙂 Since Talema only have maximum rating on 18V @225VA, is it big enough for 1 channel? or should I get bigger one such as Antek 2x18V 400VA?
just use what's easier to buy/pay/ship
it's anyway hard to sim properly if you don't have exact Rdc values of both primary and secondary
R in CRC will take care of excessive current suck from rectifier and xformer
anyway, be sure that 4x47mF will be already perfect for one channel

2 x 18VAC?????😱
I do not remember where or who, but I'm sure you informed on the need to have 2 x 22VAC to power aleph 30 and, in the case of common power supply for both channels, the filter formed by CRC 4 x 22.000uF / 2 x 1 ohm 10W / 4 x 22.000uF
oh boy ........
well - I'm sure that I made my homework ........
all roads lead to Rome
if you want 25V caps , 2x18Vac will give you roughly 2x22Vdc
if you use higher voltage caps , be my guest and use up to 25Vac xformer
1R in CRC is a hell , if you ask me

Always look at schematic before doing changes 🙂 I don't even find any R on Aleph30 original design of "Pass Aleph 30 Owner's Manual", it's only 6x10mF without mentioning voltage rating. I think that CRC design came up on FirstWatt line series
I think that R should be 0R1, using 3 parallel 0R3 5W is my choice

Sorry,i have too a 22-0-22 Vac trafo with crc psu filter
2x22000uF (40vdc) 0.33ohm 2x22000uF (40vdc) for one only Rail
on the output of psu i have about 27Vdc for each rail.
Please is ok this working voltage?
If no please can you give me some advice about it?
I think I should enhance the resistor of the crc
can you confirm the value and the power of this resistor?
I think 1 ohm 10w should be ok.
I also think the ripple should be ok with these values of CRC.
Thanks in advance.

just go for it
decrease that R to 0R15 or 0R1

Sorry but decrease means increase the output voltage!😱
Are you sure?
