Anyone in Canberra?

Hi,

I am just in the process of puchasing an amplifier kit and wondering if anyone in Canberra can assist in putting it together and testing?

Cheers

I am in Canberra (Theodore) and might be able to help you. I'm no expert, but have some basic test gear and have assembled a few kits in the past.

Hi,

Great this is what I am planning on using.

2 NX150 Amplifier Module Kits
1 PSU-One PSU with 40,000uf per rail
1 1.2kVA Toroidal Transformer with 65vac windings
1 Power On, DC Detect, Mains Surge Limiter Control Board
1 Loudspeaker Protector
1 MDA3504 Bridge Rectifier
2 Conrad MF35-100
1 Mains Rated Power Switch
1 Power & Signal Cabling
2 RCA Input
2 Banana Outputs (Pair)

hi harrisni,

That's one big Toroidal Transformer 😱 you plan to use.

What do you mean by 65vac windings? Approx 40/45-0-40/45 VAC seems to be the recommendation.

Are those banana output pairs?

regards

Hi Greg,

Yes the banana outputs are pairs, 2 for either channel.

Yes I know its abig toridal, I was hoping but using a bigger one it would help with the quality of signal delivered to the speakers.

I would expect a transformer half that size would suffice, but it is your money. Anyway, I would be only too happy to help. I have been thinking about building one of those kits myself, so will be very interested how it sounds.
