5 pairs of outputs..hmm the patek HT!?!
guesses here.
3 "bars" which probably means 3 "pairs"
my guess is 4 regular channels and a bridge or parrallel center chan, and a different amplifier all together for the sub.

Peter,
Congrats on the 6moons review.
I can't wait to hear your amp. You don't happen to have sent one to someone in the Netherlands? 😀

I'm sending two SE amps to Spain in 5 weeks.
In Patek HT all channels are the same. There is still room for one more, but the customer wanted 5 channels only. Besides, with such rather small chassis heat disipation becomes problem and there is not really enough space at the back for additional set of binding posts. 😉

Hi Peter,
The review of Patek looks very impressive.
http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/audiosector/patek_2.html
A) The bypass cap is 100 per rail on chip. How about the cap at the power supplies, is that two of 1,500UF ?? 😕 My first feeling is that is too small to feed two channel at +/- 32V ( even smaller cap than the original Gaincard)!!.
B). Have you ever try all cap on the same PCB like 1,500-->100-->Chip ? 😉 I wonder if it should be better than both channel sharing a pair of 1,500 ( i.e. 750UF per rail).
Sorry for these newbie questions.

I have additional caps beside rectifiers (in PS unit). Those are BG STD 1000/50. I prefer to keep them separated from 100uF caps, as it gives smaller caps more air to breath 😉
The bass is fine, but it may depend on the speakers as well.
At one time, I was using 100uF caps only, and the sound was even better, but the bass was somewhat lacking on certain listening material.

The patek's quite opposite to the AMP-2 (which has 1,000UF at chip, dual mono, rectfiered & transformer as close as the chip).
Any technical reason (e.g. radiator from diode, single transformer is more musical???) why the significant differences is? 😕
What your comments are on the sound difference of both amp?
Have you ever use the golden case "Illinois Cap" (low ESR) compared with BG 100/50 ?
