Yes, thats correct. In general I have just added 100 to the stock F5 parts for the optional stuff and the cascode numbers are just different... makes sense? Probably not, but I'll see if I can wrap up a guide tonight with a better explanation.
Great, easy enough to follow
Thanks
Great to hear the boards are landing safely!
I have started a blog post where I will make the guide to the boards. It is not completed, but I decided to publish it so that you'll have access to the BOM and schematics.

I'm not quite sure... Yet!I'm really pleased with the looks of this batch of boards the blue and gold goes better together than I had imagined.
Here is a shot of the F5 v2:

Ha, ha, ha!Perhaps there's some Swedish in you?
No Tosh, you're wrong!
Christian sings from day to day: "Blue sky, blue sea, blue me!"
BTW: we all know why "blue me"

- no not that I know of at least!
Smokey LIVES! one channel anyway.....
Hey Christian,
Do you have any of the older style (smaller) boards left? Yeah, I need another one. Too many times removing parts from one board to another I guess.......... While bias them up today I got a smoker. Surprise. I just love that smell. One channel is running just fine, but I'd prefer a stereo amp to a mono.
I'm going to order NEW parts this time and not try to save and reuse the old ones. I'll get my F5 Yet!
Thanks,
Ron
I should add that I only need ONE board, not a pair

Hello Christian,
I received the PCBs this morning and also today I have finished my F5 built with your F5 PCBs from a year ago.
The new boards are very nice, it's easier to spread the transistors on the heatsink.
Here's a picture of my F5 with your PCBs v1. I used an alu U-profile to put the transistors on the heatsink.
Thanks!

Hacksawed Cviller Board
This weekend I finished putting together Cvillers boards.
Since they did not fit into my cramped quarters too easily, I hacksawed the ends off. It's outfitted with the caddock power resistors which fit perfectly.
The heatsinks are overkill, but allows them to dissipate some heat for sure.

Hello Cvilller!
I would like to have a pair of F5 boards. I am new to this so if you could give instructions how to pay and give you the delivery address.
best regards
Timo
Didn't see this until now, but I can see you have found my order page. Your boards are on their way.
If others are interested, you can have a look at my blog for instructions - I still have plenty available.

Looks interesting, does it play yet?
