My F5 is up and running great. Dead quiet and sounds fantastic.
One thing I noticed on the test bench is I get 18v DC at the output if the input is not shorted or a source attached. I doubt this is normal. Any clue what could cause this? Shorted I get perfect bias with 0mvdc at the output.

Sts9fan, if that happens only when inputs are open, you should follow Zen Mod advice.
The ground is made from the device you plug in.
Nothing plugged in : no ground.
I am sure it helps to have a wire from the board to gnd. I will attach one and see if that does it. 😱
what do you meen?
from the board to GND? are you saying that you don't have a wire from board's GND to PSU's Gnd?? that will for sure make a offsett of 18V++.
And without it, the amplifier was finding ground through the source/preamp...
😱😱😱😱😱
If that's the only error, it will fix it.

The short story is that if you disconnected your preamp or source (the RCA inputs) you would fry your speakers. 18v of offset is not good at all for the health of the speakers. 🙂
