diyAB Amp - The "Honey Badger"

[mbrennwa]

Where can I get those transparent Bourns trimmers?

I bet they sound very transparent! 🙂

 

[keantoken]

Yes, I can hear right through them!

from shopee/lazada, or at mouser if you are stateside...

too much Wolverine distortion in the Honeybadger tread

no worries, this is an open thread, wolverine is also a honeybadger, and whatever mods they do it still sounds good...i am happy with the honeybadger as it was designed, now i am looking for more power...

 

[year98]

I would like to know the proper substitutes for places Q3~Q12.
I have 2sa970/2sc2240 bc546/556 2n5401/5551 2sa1220/2sc2690 mje15032/15033.
Please help me. Thanks.

Q3	Fairchild KSC1845	bipolar transistor
Q4	Fairchild KSC1845	bipolar transistor
Q5	Fairchild BC556B	bipolar transistor (cbe instead of bce so bend legs)
Q6	Fairchild BC556B	bipolar transistor (cbe instead of bce so bend legs)
Q7	Fairchild KSC1845	bipolar transistor
Q8	Fairchild KSC1845	bipolar transistor
Q9	Fairchild KSA992	bipolar transistor
Q10	Fairchild	2SA1381	bipolar transistor	MJE350G	Sub ?
Q11	Fairchild	2SC3503	bipolar transistor	I have	340G for all ?
Q12	Fairchild	2SC3503	bipolar transistor	I have	340G for all
Q13	Fairchild	2Sc3953 sanyo bipolar transistor			I have	340G for all

Also check the build guide it has alternatives. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/diyab-amp-the-honey-badger-build-thread.211905/

i get it. I'll check it out. thank you

 

[Stale25]

Where is the build guide pdf in store page ?

 

[Kay Pirinha]

I'm missing it, too 😳!

Best regards!

 

[jwilhelm]

I think it's in the build thread

 

[Stale25]

I've been looking for 3 hours and I can't find it...

 

[Stale25]

Found..here https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/diyab-amp-the-honey-badger-build-thread.211905/page-238

 

[Kay Pirinha]

Well, there's a build guide revision 1.0 to be found in #4,752. Is it the latest, the valid one?

Best regards!

I believe it's the only available revision, but I can say it's still really valid.

So now that Wolverine is out, is there any particular reason to consider building the Honey Badger instead of the Wolverine?

 

[Stale25]

I will be probably satisfied with the Honey Badger. Wolverine will come after.

 

[Stale25]

Can i use 2SA1943-O(Q) and 2SC5200-O(Q) without modifications instead of NJW0281G and NJW0302G ?

 

[RickRay]

@Stale25 You really need to read the build guide, it specifically lists 2SC5200/2SA1943 as alternate output transistors. So, yes, you can use them without modification.
