... - Please download Simetrix 4.1 form Newburry
- Take your time to learn this package. (Simetrix does not have a steep learning curve.) Use the examples/ tutorials for this.
- Go get the proper models and learn how to add them to the library's.
Firstly, that is good advice, however although you should realise that not everyone finds this as easy as you do (read some of the posts in Aleph-X threads - some cannot get the sims to work, others find it just too hard).
- After this it will take you aprox. 15 minutes to enter the schematic for the Aleph-X.
Exactly which schematic are you referring to? As far as I know, only GRollins and LBHajdu have been kind enough to share their schematics - the other 374 posts in the Aleph-X thread are comments on the topology, talk about configurations (with varying degrees of helpfulness) but no actual diagrams.
Remember, we are at this forum for the Do It Yourself part.
Yes, it's all about sharing information - why then do you have an objection to sharing softcopy information? It would be really nice if you could post your schematics (if not your sim files).
There are people strongly for or against using sims - the arguement against is generally that they do not fully replicate actual circuits - true, but a sim can assist in understanding what is happening and can assist in fine tuning designs and identify potential issues (eg operating points, stability, frequency response, gain, sensitivity to component variations, etc). We should encourage use of sims (up to a point anyway).
If you think all of this waists too much of your time, you might consider buying a PassLabs XA.
Unfortunately too poor - anyway, I really like to understand my equipment - designing and building is the only way.
None taken - and I hope none is given
All the best
