Build This MoFo!

[flocchini]

So if I am tracking correctly a bridged MoFo with 20V in would need about 40Vpp
The XP-10 with balanced output would provide 15V x 2.8 or 42V

 

[Nelson Pass]

I think it will manage that with single-ended output. Wayne will correct me
if I'm wrong....

😉

 

[Zen Mod]

well , most interesting technical part of User Manual is certainly this one :

There is an Extremely Small (but Non-zero) Chance That, Through a
Process Know as Tunneling, This Product May Spontaneously Disappear
from Its Present Location and Reappear at Any Random Place within the
Universe, Including Your Neighbor’s Domicile.
The Manufacturer Will Not Be Responsible for Any Damages,
Inconvenience or Mental Anguish That May Result From These Spacetime
Perturbations.

though , XP10 is for sissies , burning just 10W

better buy XP30 - more swing ( higher number , so logical) and almost proper power figure - 45W

still on eenyweeny side , but better

I need something between preamplifier and MoFo.

Components for PCB arrived today, PCB delivering middle next week.

All a nice weekend...

Will my Sony TA E5450 v-fet pre be able to drive the higher power amplifier to full output?


Thanks

14V pre out max (vinyl engine site)

you can always try .... that's plenty of grunt

thanks but that does not answer my question


14volts PP? rms? and at what input voltage ?? these are the things I do not know.

Googlephobia ?

Sony TAE-5450 - Manual - Stereo Pre Amplifier - HiFi Engine

Well, if .15V in gets you one 1V out, then how many input volts to get you 14?

14 x .15 = 2.1

But no one is writing down there thoughts on or compare too other amplifiers?

In your own words its sonic characteristics?

Thank you

Lawrence

Play with Big 24V | 2.5A MoFo amp this BAF Sunday.
Sonic is like descibed by Sir Rothacher in his article.
Great on voices and big space stage.
Not easy to campare with M2 or L'Amp because i play them with different front end or preamp.
M2 work with passive Autoformer Volume Control.
MoFo is connected to high gain vacuum triode preamplifier.
12" Alnico full range. Experiments today stay in tune 🙂

Yes Please and thank you sir! 😀

 

[Zen Mod]

AlNiCo is for sissies

😉

 

[Soundhappy]

With iPad connected sound quality is listenable, but if change for CD player with class A stage as well,
then MoFo sound is most more excellent
Conclusion: good quality sound at inputs good sound at his outputs.
Front-end, preamp without global feedback to drive it is recommended IMHO.

 

[Zen Mod]

Yeah
And global feedback is for sissies

😉

Wait a min sir....this amplifier has from what I understand 100% feedback?

 

[Soundhappy]

Yes amp are with global feedback.
That is the reason preamp without is more desirable for MoFo.

[Michael Rothacher]

MoFo really shines with a gutsy voltage-swingin' preamp. 🙂
