Babelfish F8

hello,
does cascoding the J74 brings something? is it mandatory?

part of my OCD

you don't need to use it, whatever reason it is

yeah, proper thing, if you have EMT 930

I am one of the few lucky ones who had the opportunity to build this amp.
Previous amp was Babelfish 2J, and at that time I though it was the best sounding SS (Solid State, but also reads SemiSouth) amp ever!
BF8 simply takes it to another level, again... The new best sounding SS amp until the next one 😀

Sounds good, when can we get it. Putting the pressure on ZM.

ZM is already Omniinflated

Bias settings? At (R17,R19) Just checking my math, 0.6ohms of resistance so I want about 1.08v reading across these resistors to get the 1.8A bias?

 

[Zen Mod]

500mV across R16 is same as 1080mV across R17

I'm interested in a kit as well once available.

I have an F5 built onto 300 heatsink and my Aleph J is 400. I guess the 400mm 4U is most suitable for Iq of BF8?
