Juma's Head Amp

Has anyone received their Juma HA boards yet? I am still waiting for mine - should be here soon. I wonder how it will sound vs a JFET input?

Thanks for the Gerbers Prasi. Sometimes I wonder if I should try the nail polish mask trick (hand painted tracks). Possible on a small simple board like the PSU.

See post #119 for my Juma boards. Do they look cute?

IThe jfet F5HA is offered later.Hope to see them by Thanksgiving. I work slowly on my projects. So, not likely to have any comparison soon.

Fred, they do look nice like i said before. My only minor observation is that they are not able to print component values and other things like logo (not important, ofourse). Component values are on a standard layer called tValues in eagle. May be a special instruction to dirtypcb guys is required, for your next order🙂 may be.

It is all web ordering these days, and there is no extra input box to provide special instructions.

I did notice this from the site:
Submit Cadsoft Eagle .brd files directly and let us create the gerbers! 2 layers only. .brd files are processed with Eagle v6.x and we noticed a bug on a single order using v7.1.0 files. It's probably best to make your own gerbers if you used Eagle v7+
Perhaps, that's the bug.

I will send them an email before next order. Probably they can take gerbers imstead of the .brd.

Thanks!!
 
Hi All,
just want to gather some info regarding group buy interest for stereo version of Juma HA with volume control (50mmx100mm)... and dual rail Nazar PSU PCB (50mmx85mm).
I would like like to carryout a GB, if there is sufficient interest.
[ Volume control will be a provision for 16mm pot, if someone likes a motor pot or that big blue Alpha pot, they can mount off board and run wires]
Icing on the cake would be if Fred or XRK would be able to test their both PCB's and report their (subjective) results here.
rest assured, PCB's will be cheaper compared to individual buys on chinese websites.

For volume control, are you doing the Danyuk-Linkwitz crossfeed filter like I have been using on the F5 HA's? You can count me in for one board ea if $20 total.

show me the sch , i will explore if its possible on a third pcb...i am absolutely sure🙂, it cant be managed on 50x100 STEREO juma HA with pot povision...
i cant estimate the cost right now, it will depend upon numbers of interests and number of PCB's people are interested in.. hope you understand that...

This is the passive crossfeed filter I am using. Adjust the resistor and pot combination so that impedance is about 5.5k it requires impedance of input to be high which JFET can provide. So not sure if compatible with BJT inputs.

Hi X and Gannaji,
thank you for the interest.
i will wait for a few more days to see the interest.
have to start layout, so comments from anyone regarding how to implement the cross feed filter and volume control pot and Juma stereo HA would be welcome. (separate pcbs or integrated pcb).
in case of separate pcbs, there would total 3 pcb's including Nazar PSU.

I would also be interested in buying. Separate pcb's would be more flexible, so that either people can select what to buy.
