Explendid amplifier designed by Michael Bittner, our MikeB

And after etching...

The result wasn´t that good but these are prototypes only... maybe...

I have to go shopping on moday because I could not find suitable resistors from my stash

Hello Mike

Drilling is tomorrows business... Now it´s time for a couple of biers.

You should have a few too!

This is way OT but I am beginning to be worried about myself. I got few friends over on the other room and I am here browsing throuhgt the forums

I´ll be back after drilling and assembly is done

Can I use this amplifier with 1ohm? How I can use it on 1ohm? Addiding more pair of output transistors?

Hi mod_evil !

Symasym was not designed to deliver THAT much current, it does easily drive a 4ohm speaker, but not 1 ohm...
To do that, it would need a complete redesign. The VAS does not supply enough current, and changing it to triple darlington like sajti suggested will make it oscillate without further modification.
One possibility would be changing the outputstage to mosfets, and put enough of them in paralell.

I have to thank you Mike, to include my name in your page

I am feeling honored to be together Pavel Macura, Greg Erskine and your person.

I feel myself very good....i feel pride to be together you guys.

My name associated to good amplifiers, as Aksa, GEM and Symassym are something more than i hope for.

Yeah!...i loved to see my complete, and strange name, there....by the way, Mergulhão means big diver...as some bird that dives to catch fishes in cold watters.

regards,

Carlos
 
Yeah MikeB, Thanks a lot for your help. This speakers arrays of my making will be horrible to amplifier... Sorry I understand you.

A output transformer, cost higher than other solutions...


PMA,
Yeah... Carlos Eugenio, es uno mucho grande genio... Os ensinamentos que ele me deu vão ficar para o resto da minha vida... ( Yeah, Carlos Eugenio is a bigger genius, the ensiments he sent to me will be in here for the rest of my live. )

Good to have you in here.
 
Hi MikeB,

I think your homepage is simple and clear with good quality pictures! 🙂

Though the Eagle schematic have component text on top of each others making it a bit difficult to read, but I made a small effort and changed it! 😀

Cheers Michael

PS: Note for instance Q3 and Q9 text now have their right position, not that it makes any difference here as both transistors are the same!

Thank you Mod Evil.... very nice your appearance...hehe ...Carioca alike me!

I do not remember the meaning of Carioca...the indian name meaning....

Carioca is the name of Rio de Janeiro native people...we are very proud of that.

Amizadinha eu tôu na piôr deprê....my dear friend, i am very sad.... Graham decided to leave our forum....i was during last week trying to persuade him.... i jumped alike pop corn inside a hot can....i did all i could...i paint a very dark future to him.... the forum beeing catastrophic..... people giving up..... the evil comanding the place.... the post war picture....i said his amplifier will be shotted when he left forum.... that people will say that he is running because amplifier has input, output and a lot of things!

I have danced...jumped..... i made funny games, i used all i could to change his mind....if a gênius.... i am hidden inside a bottle, and and elefant is going to sit over me!

Reza forte!....i will ask God to his return...and them i will be making noise again...ehhehe!

You look nice... handsome Carioca!... will present you one of my daugthers....showing one of my girls.... her problem is that she disturb a little, as she use to kiss daddy many times a day!

regards,

Carlos
