Folks:

What would you recommend as a suitable power supply pcb for the Wolverine? I have a few of Jeff Young's Double Rail / Decoupled Stereo boards on hand, which were originally developed as an alternative to the Store's power supply board for the FirstWatt amps. Would a bipolar CRC power supply designed for Class A amps work well with a Class AB design like the Wolverine and, if not, what would you suggest instead? If so, what is the recommended power supply capacitance for each Wolverine channel?

Regards,
Scott

Hi Guy's

Just a quick update.
Thimios has completed the build of the EF3-4 precision output pcb with the Wolverine IPS pcb.

Please find attached some of the sine wave results he captured.

A big thank you goes out to Thimios for his work on this PCB and providing us these results.

Hi Guy's, your opportunity to participate in the group buy is drawing to a close.

I will start sending out PayPal payment requests to all members who have provided me their detail tonight and depending on what's involved should have that done in a day or so.

Boards will be then ordered.

Once I have ordered the board I will
Send out a Dropbox link to the BOM, Schematic and Build Guide to all members who have paid. This should give everyone the same opportunity to purchase parts.

Thanks for your participation in this project. I look forward to seeing many of the amplifiers modules mounting in enclosures in the months ahead.

Can't wait!!! I sent the excel sheet with my info but didn't get a follow up, and figured that was the normal?

Anyway I can't wait to compare this to my new badger I'm building . 2.1 for my father in law.!! Hope everyone is doing well during this time!

Hi Guy's,

I appreciate that everyone is keen to get their boards and receive their payment requests. But this is NOT my full time job.

Paypal has limits on how requests per day can be sent. It also takes awhile to process each individual request.

Please be patient and don't overload me with emails as things will take even longer.

I will keep everyone well updated here.

I can't see the boards been ordered for a least a week and once they are it will take 2 weeks before they arrive and distribution to members begins.

Hi Stuart,

I am sure everyone here is very grateful for all the effort that you and all involved have put in to get this to happen.

Thanks for all your efforts, looking forward to building this one.

Keep up the good work!
