no , I didn't work on that
point is - every individual part in Babelfish XJ is so little stressed , that possibility of break is very small
if you need one , I believe it's easy to find speaker protection for balanced operation , EUVL published here several years ago

Hi Zen Mod,
Is there a GB for this amplifier? If yes, do you have kit with matched Mosfets?
Thanks

Hi Zen Mod,
If using caps like these :
Epcos B41456B7689M000 - 68000uF 40V - capable of 34A @ 40 celcius
B41456B7689M000 EPCOS (TDK) | Capacitors | DigiKey
What PSU configuration would you recommend per channel? CRC, CRCRC, etc...
Thanks

CRC is what I would use and even then , never more than 0R1 for R
For the decoupled PSU in the other thread, the schematic posted by Jeff has resistor value at 0R33 (0.33 ohm). If I build these using standard Papa value 0R47 and do the math, each bank of 3 has parallel resistance of 0R16 ... but these banks are in parallel to each other from the first cap bank so effective resistance is 0R08 (0.08 ohm).
Is this ok and even if it's wrong math, am I worrying about nothing?

......... am I worrying about nothing?
.....
exactly
🙂
I told ya that I'm using 0R1 , you use what you want
Hi Zen,
Forget about my last PM, I have found the answers to most of my questions. My only question left was to know what capacitor value in uF you use in your CRC PSU, before and after the R and what approximate ESR do you aim for per capacitor (closer to 10 mOhms, 20, 30)? I just want a more optimal PSU as possible.
Thanks

say that my fave format of caps for rails as in this case is 33mF/25V
so , as minimum , I should go with 2 of these , then 0R1 then 2 of these ........ more precisely 66mF-0R1-66mF
of course , increasing value of C cells is good , so 99mF or even 132mF ...... why not
0R1 - for nice and cozy sleep - use 25W metal goldies (cheap on fleabay,popping everywhere) , screwed to bottom plate
when using snap-in caps (especially plenty of them in C bank) , easiest solution for pcb is heavy copper raw pcb , use back horn of exacto knife along metal ruler to make cuts/channels for forming pcb fields
then 2mm drill for caps pins , 3.2mm drill for screw holes in corners , isolate corners from rest of pcb
then some thinking with (hopefully) smart outcome to position take-in and take-out wires and that's it
if you need nudgenudge regarding that , just say
your pcb are at shelf (arrived) , mosfets too .... now I need to find/organize lazy afternoon** to do some (enjoyable) matching and to remember these days to order some flat cables and IDC connectors
** lock the door , turn off cell and land line , brew some coffee .....

Hi Zen,
Maybe a little Scotch as well, I mean just a little ya know? 😀
I'm thinking, if your caps are 25V, I guess your amp DC supply is closer to 20V-22V? Or you're running it very close to cap limit, like 24V?
Thanks for everything!!!

with 18Vac secondaries (preferably two independent ones per xformer , so going with two bridges route) , you'll end up with something as 22V5dc rails
if you're going for custom xformers , you can use few volts lower secondaries , no biggie
you need volts to keep mosfet capacitances polite , but you don't need so much volts for power ..... damn thing is already monster , at least for my criteria

Hi Pinocchio,
Regarding your question of whether or not the SLB PSU can handle 7A continuous draw: the answer from AKSA is yes and it can do so with circa 1mVrms ripple with only 30,000uF bulk capacitance. A few resistor tweaks and change the CFP master drivers to darlingtons.

ZM, what do you think of the J270 P-ch jfet for frontend? Has a -2 to -15 idss.

when I was in States , I bought one bag of 500pcs of J309 and one bag of 500pcs of J271
J271 is good enough for Aleph -like stages , when biased with CCS - no problem with highish Idss (comparing to Toshibas)
I believe nowadays you can find both of them in SMD case
though , if you're thinking and planning as regular Greedy Boy , just one step ahead .... just buy Toshibas from few reliable sources , or LSJ from Store
me - I'm hoarder , when speaking of parts
