Your chassis face-plate is beautiful. I never thought wood could be sculpted to fit a chassis in such an exquisite manner.
Just warm and wonderful!

Thank you very much. Sure is more easy for you.
The wood is jatoba, is very very heavy, and the finish has wax.
Pearhaps I´ll shape again the edges. I love work good wood. Although I´m sorry for the tree.

I bet Humberto's amp sounds better, and they look better too 😉 -than my krappy Krell (certainly in this forum -at least 🙂 ). I bet I can get better welding penetration with mine though.
I like your speakers, Woody.

I thought that looked like a lot of chassis--yes, suitable for a welder.😉 It probably sounds much better when played through speakers rather than a welding rod...😀
Thanks for the compliment on my speakers.🙂
Good job with this front mpmarino, sure sound well too.
How do you work lines in the aluminium?
Mario Philippona are the bigest sissies
Carpenter, I´d like see your speaker. Can you send a pic?

Re: Extra rail caps for F4
Hi,
let me share experiences with C1/C1 caps. Two weeks ago I replaced Nichicon bipolars with Elna Silmic-II. As for my old ears - overal sound and ambient results are great – better base at the very beginning, more details, more air, more pleasure. Few days of caps burning/mature and I start to listen music which for me was difficult to reproduce. It is much better now, however higher frequencies of shrill sounds contain some unpleasant grain or sand, even if I am listening being at another room. Finally I realized method suggested by Jameshillj adding resistor 0.22 oHm in series with 47 nF as a bypass for 220 uF (C1/C2). Result is fantastic! In most cases grain and sand disappeared. Sound of big band trumpets is clear now, crash and ride cymbals too! I love it! Of course, not everything is perfect at my system but improvement is great. Maybe not all of my CDs are perfectly recorded or arranged.
Many thanks: Nelson for Elna Silmic-II suggestion and Jameshillj for bypass advices.

Thanks Andrzej and jameshillj for your coment. When comes the times of upgrades I´ll think about it.
Great that this is working for you Andrzej -
It's one of those try and see things, and it sometimes produces some top end ringing that some ccts just hate.
For more info, there is a series of articles about "Choosing and Using Bipass Capacitors" at the "TechOnline" site that's very useful.
Managed to "scrounge" a couple of Sikorel caps for the power supplies - Oh boy, what a Difference this makes(!)

Quick question.... any benefit to using Fairchild for P channel over IR?
Pros cons of going 2 complementary pair at .75 amp (0.375 or so over the source resistor) versus 3 at .5 ? Same total channel current of 1.5 amp or so. Besides therm resistance etc.

I used a table saw for that - it was all I had at the time. Now I'd use a nice mill from Crazy Danske.
Quick answer - yes 😀
I've seen Nelson point out that the non IR Pch devices do not have a distortion that the IR Pch devices have.
