diyAB Amp The "Honey Badger" build thread

You now see the use (actually primary) for the blue/red leds.

LED glows - DO NOT touch. (told that to my kids) 😀 .
PS - shocked myself once , all my amps are now "christmas trees" 🙂.
My New amps actually combine LED function (voltage/CCS references) with the safety factor and "looks" (UV ,blue,green).

I just LOVE led's 😎😎 .

OS

I do too!
Hey, if you use a bunch of the orange ones, it makes an interesting tube-like glow outta the vents. 😀
 
Three pictures of my first HB unit. There will be at least one more like this one.
It's a terribly compact case. Speaker protection is bolted to the upper cover above and between PS caps.

cheers,

R4 is the Signal Ground to Power Ground reference connection.
The tolerance is unimportant.

Use can use a 4r7 +-20%, or a 5r +-20% part here.
You may well find that any value from 2r2 to 10r will not change the performance of the amplifier in any measurable way.

Another option, especially applicable if larger resistor values are used. . .
Is it okay to put a little cap in parallel with the 10R groundlift, say about 100n for treble bypass?
yes , that is a good idea. I used a bypass across the 10R to mitigate PC power supply noise in an earlier amp project . A .1uf multilayer ceramic was used.
