a teaser - distortion into 8 ohms.
An F5 😱
After studying it to death, I finally got it together and ordered boards and other goodies for an F4 today 🙂

nobody special said:not funny... you make me want to choky you for that!
Yeah, I was kinda "choked" up about that myself....😀 😉 😀 But I found my place of "zen" and clamped a "mod" on my attitude...🙄 😉 😀

I regularly put small clay-modelled Zen puppets on the BB&Q, after i stuck some pins in them, very relaxing.

No, the F5 is a stereo 20 watt (8 ohm) or 40 watt (4 ohm)
Class A amplifier with a gain of 15 dB, a damping factor of 80,
and an input impedance of 100K.
It's very special.

Exactly what the Dr. Prescribed.
Those spec look very tantalizing.
Are we able to look to the schematic soon?
Thanks Nelson, always sharing with us.

Go figure, is it trick or treat time again.
The input number reads like JFET again, a Zout of 0.1ohm and the power numbers looks like not just another single ended OS.
I suppose the 15dBu is the clue for us treasure seekers ?

No. Now no more speculation - All will be revealed when AudioXpress publishes it.
I will have something else to tide you over until then, lest you
become bored.

Will a pumpkin drive it?

Really looking forward to seeing it, and speculating till then!
Thanks Mr. Pass!
By the specs seems to me that the F5 will be a long lived amp not the 100 unit limited production variety; but a CLASICAL by all means.
Just my 2c
