Amp Camp Update!!

Very happy to report that 100% of Amp Camp attendees walked away with completed and operative amplifier sets. Overall there were very few issues with building/construction/testing of the amplifiers, most of the issues, which were few and far between, could be traced back to cold solder joints, which are not difficult to diagnose and very easy to remedy.

We got to test them with a few different speakers and the consensus can be summed up as, “wow, these really sound great!.”

A fine time was had by all and I look forward to next year!

Observations ( most are of a mechanical nature ):

The wire was really hard to strip. Next year I'm bringing in my super duper wire strippers.
The little transformer had to be handled into place.
The speaker connectors were a bit tricky. Specially if you mount them on the wrong side of the board... ( Now, WHO would do that? )
The LED isn't blue.

Thanks...

I can send you a couple of blue if you would like them. It’s personal preference. I prefer blue.

I think, I know, Randy has those color changing LEDs.

Oh, another thing. This little amp takes at least a minute to come up to speed after shutting it off. And, I'm not talking about "warming it up"... no, actually it needs to be charged before it can work. If you shut it down for a few minutes to change the wiring then you can't just turn it on and listen... noooo... you got to let it charge.

Interesting.

I'm guessing you are referring to the ACA Mini. Yes, it takes 30-60 seconds after turning the switch on before it is up and fully running. That's not counting 20-30 min to warm up to attain pure awesomeness in the sound as well.
