Re: Switch
This is diy, if somebody needs a switch a properly rated toggle switch, beside AC entry module, can be easily added. I have no problem with that.

Yes, I'm shipping them. Some of them went out on Friday, still more to go today.mitch808 said:Peter are you shipping out the kits yet? If so, anything heading over to Sunny San Diego?![]()
Peter, shouldn't you be a bit careful about statements like this. There is nothing as "preamps" in this subject. It's all about power consumption.Peter Daniel said:There is no power switch. This unit can be classified as a preamp (from power consumption point)
You say it's DIY but I think it's also good to advice people how they should do when it comes to mains wiring.
My point of view is that every apparatus SHOULD have mains switch unless it consumes very little power.
I was talking about power consumption when the amp is idle. You will not be using power switch when amp is playing at full power, will you?
For that matter, can somebody explain to me the preoccupation with power switch. What are you using it for?
Now, you not gonna tell me that I HAVE to switch off my amps, each time I go to sleep?

I leave this to you, as I'm in a chassis business. Otherwise people wouldn't be allowed to build anything, without explaining them beforehand how to connect wires.
And decide how much more you want to add to your post, as I can't form my proper reply to you otherwise.
Peter, I think you get will a hard time if you are trying to seek any approval from UL or CE, no matter what you you think.
I don't mean that you have to tell people everything but since you are highly regarded your responsibilities increases.

I'm not trying that with this amp. My other amps have the switches.
peranders said:No, but I think you should think in this direction.
Let me decide what to think. This amp is made like this for a purpose. It is not commercial design, but diy project. There is enough room for modifications, if somebody wants them. Personally, I think the switch is not needed here (but can be easily added). You should be glad that I included a space for a fuse😉
The amp will sound better without power switch.

Whenever I want to switch the amp off, I'm just disconnecting the power cord. It's a bit of an incovenience, but it works for me. I'm not switching my amps off at all, they are constantly ON.

If anybody changed the address in a meantime, you better let me know, as I wouldn't like to make a shipment to the wrong place.😉
