DIY progress report

[Nelson Pass]

Zen Variations part 4: Text still needs writing, PC boards
are going out for fabrication. ETA end of July. We will be
making the boards available for sale.

The Claw. The horns are taking up a lot of space on the
shop floor, but progress has been slow. ETA this fall.

El Pipe-O. A 12 foot transmission line with a 24 inch diameter
and two 21" woofers. A little project intended as a filler that
got out of control. Prototypes and documentation are done,
only text needs writing. ETA August.

Active Crossover. Waiting in queue after above 3 projects.
PC board will be available. ETA September.

Zen Variations part 5. Big change of direction! ETA October.

The Zen suite

I can't wait to discover so wonderful projects Nelson.This is really a long time to wait!!!...But patience is mother of progress...Anyway,I am amused by a Zen change of direction.But I guess it will not be a power packs revival...

Hey,

That sound very exciting, I look forward to seeing the new projects emerge.

But you forgot to mention your Bio!

It would be great to see progress reports from forum members on their projects.

For my part, the Aleph 2 aluminum chassis is 75% complete and the boards are assembled.

My Pearl and Balanced Line stage are up and going, they just need cabinets fabricated.

Is there goignt to be an article about the active corssover earlier. So we have something to read till the boards are out ?



Greetings

I am still working on my Aleph btw.

 

[till]

Is there a relation between "Big change of direction" and the "X" ???

can´t await ZENv.4!!!

 

[Nelson Pass]

No, ZV5 will not be an X. I'm saving that for a bit later.

Great new, Nelson

I've got to admit, this is one of the nicer bits of news I've heard in a while. Now, if only the rest of the world could get their ethics together.

I would imagine that Nelson will be flooded with Aleph pics and progress reports in the near future. It's great to belong to a community such as this.

Good day

Penultimate Zen in Balanced Config.

Mr. Pass,

Is this going to be possible?

Regards,

Vinay

 

[Nelson Pass]

If the question is Can you operate the Penultimate Zen
in balanced mode, the answer is absolutely yes.

Check the Zen Variations part 2 for commentary and
performance information.

Any hints about the AXO pleaaaaaaaaaaaase?

 

[Nelson Pass]

Why don't you give me a hint as to what an AXO is?

Why don't you give me a hint as to what an AXO is?

Once I Myself bumped into a PLLXO

I took a while to figure that it was actually a Passive line level crossover

 

[Coulomb]

I don't suppose you will be Authoring any articles or PD designs for a really big amplifier any time soon, 300 + Watts into 8 ohms sort of thing?

Thank you for your wonderful contributions to DIY Audio to date. I hope your able to keep contributing for a long time to come.

Best Regards

I would have voted for Phase Locked Loop Xtal Oscillator (if such a beast exists..).

PLLXO

That one had me scratching my head too.
Phase locked loop crystal oscillator seems as good as anything I came up with!

 

[Nelson Pass]

Since you ask, I would be happy to do a 1+ KW class AB
monster, just the kind that Kilowatt is always talking about,
but with circuitry simple enough not to frighten you big macho
guys.

Who wants to compete with Son of Dork on something
like this?

 

[PedroPO]

Shuu, Nelson!

You cannot say "monster". It's illegal

check it out!

This big macho guy would like to see something along those lines- it would be good for driving subwoofers. Plus, I would really like to know how the bias setup on a class AB (MOSFET I assume, as this would be from Nelson) works... I'm a little fuzzy on that.
