This thread is solely to assist builders with their Aleph Jzm kits. It is not for general discussion. Here is a wonderful place to kibbitz. It is not a thread to ask questions re: customization or parts substitutions. This may be a nice place to do that. ALL off-topic posts will be reported / removed for the benefit of those wanting a quick source for relevant information. This thread will also be used as a source of information to update the build guide. At this time, comments are not active in the build guide.
For builders specifically needing help with their power supply, please search for a thread supporting your specific power supply for assistance, or create a separate thread as needed.
For those using ThatcherDIYAudio PSU boards like those used in the guide, their build guide is excellent.
For those building a PSU with the Universal PSU boards from the diyAudio store, the PSU section in this blog is an excellent resource in addition to many threads in this forum.
For those needing assistance with their amplifier boards or overall assembly and wiring, please post the following:
1) The current step # from the AJzm build guide.
2) Well-lit, in-focus photos of the build in its current state.
3) A description of the issue or question.
Kits have been made available for immediate shipping and pre-order through the diyAudio store. Enjoy!

Yes it is.
The snubber parts on the PCBs for the rectifiers depend on the particular transformer used with their values determined by testing with the quasimodo test jig: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...rmer-snubber-using-quasimodo-test-jig.243100/
You can look here to see if someone has already tested a particular transformer model you want to use: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/quasimodo-results-only.313202/
Please note that the use of the quasimodo snubbers is optional.
