Some folks actually understand what i'm saying ?
(coming saturday Ayayayay is cooking for 20, so Maitre-J would be OK. They're all in the Med. bizz, good chance they will all survive, but fingers crossed just the same. Overhere i have the Renfield syndrome for the one and only Masta)

nah, I couldn't understand you, it was the Tom Waits reference that clued me in 🙂
I included the Bruges Carillon poster in the background for you crazy Euros... Next time perhaps I'll include a nice cold Sterkens instead 🙂

like dis, ?
Ok, now you've shown us the bypass caps, how about a pic of the power cap bank? 😀
Magura 🙂
carpenter--can you show me a diagram of peter's standard layout-so i can redo this ps the correct way?? thanks bubba

Just take the Cello Duet that's in the spot lights again today, for an example.
(but i'm just a drunk, hooked on Tequila and salt, the Mariachi Ayayayay lyrics give me away every time)
dang, I could have just used the standoffs as "wires" between the boards. Why didn't you mention this before?

just a mere 0.5F of capacitance there.
Heatsink ? for DIY F4XXX
Nelson, (or anyone else that wants to chime in)
You were gracious enough to gift me with 4 F Series heatsinks at BA 07. I will finally have time and money to commence the build this month. I am wondering if I orient all 4 heatsinks 90 degrees from each other for an aleph style enclosure, (with a MUCH different look), will the heatsinking be adequate to include all 4 channels for 2x100w monoblocks inside the same chassis? The PS will be outboard so that I can tap it for any Fx amplifier.
Thank you all for your time,
Chris
p.s. No wisecracks about it not REALLY being monoblocks if they are in the same box. This forum is full of good humor like this.

Re: Heatsink ? for DIY F4XXX
if not real monoblocks , you'll have one real monobox

Horizontal or vertical fins?

Aah, you mean like dual bridged monaural power amp ? 
Sounds pretty cool, actually. (the name and the 4-in-1 idea)

They are F series fins so they are horizontal. It will be a different look.
The cap bank photo op will be coming.....but will look like the top of 20 Nichicons that have been in a box for a LONG time.

Well, I wanted to figure, if you meant to make a tall tower.......
Since that's not the case, no problem.
Magura 🙂
I don't think the tall tower thing would work. Reminds me of Variac's BA project that you helped put together though.

Exactly! The tall tower thing, will just be waste of good heatsink, as the efficiency decreases dramatically at over 6 inches.

well - I have another impression - they all were just looking WTF Papa is doing with that amp .......

Well,
