Class D amp in a vintage amp

[radhaz]

Hello all, new guy here.

I'm considering putting class d amps in an old integrated amp, removing the boards (preamp, amp, phono, tape head input), just wiring the volume output into the d amp's input. From the looks of the schematic, the volume control is the last thing before the driver section. I would loose the phono preamp and tape head preamp but that can be worked out later.
Has anyone done this type of thing before? I did some searching, but nothing turned up.

thanks in advance.

why not ?

I have a buddy that put a 3110 in a heathkit preamp..........

Looks really nice.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

might even be for sale....................

another buddy thought of using pass a40 boards as driver boards then buying boat anchor amps.
You have chassis, outputs, transformer, power supply, connectors...............

Make some space, mount the input/driver board, set the voltage for the board, then bias, and voila !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have built a few amps in old amp housings.

I also use desktop PC cases as a basis for an amplifier.
I rip out the SMPS and use the mains socket in the frame.
Also the fan housing come in useful for cooling the amplifier.

I'm wondering what power supply to get. The amps are 150w IRS2092 IRFB4019. I ordered a 600w +/- 50v toroid, but I think I failed to account for the rectified voltage, which looks like 70v. Maybe I should go with a smps? I would like a low voltage output to add a phono preamp later.

What can I say?
It's a Cheap Chinee PCB amp... likely worth exactly what it costs.
Interpret that in any way you wish 🙂
