Keantoken's Aurum-X 300w Amp with LatFETs

[thompsontechs]

Sent you the info bud... I'd be interested, at some point, in changes needed to go to 4ohms as well. My best speakers is in the 4-6ohm range.

H JT,
I have a set of boards for you - please PM me your address and I’ll ship them out.

Shanebou24 is the other verification builder.
It’s nice to have some critical mass on this.

Thank you to the both of you for taking this on.

Antek AN-6458 trafo just arrived. fastest shipping I've seen in a long time.

 

[thompsontechs]

I sent you a private, if you would send over all the latest schematic, and BOM etc, save me some time hunting. I'm doing a Yamaha B2 restore as well, and my time is limited.

Thanks!

JT

Hi JT,
Will do.

Shane,
That was fast and that trafo is a monster

 

[thompsontechs]

Yikes $83 for the tranny shipped. That'll teach me to open my mouth. 😛

 

[xrk971]

You haven't even gotten to the latFETs. 😛
There is no doubt that this is a premium amp...

 

[thompsontechs]

I thought this was a deal where the parts just fell from the sky, so I could check the math in RW? No?

 

[xrk971]

PCBs fall from the sky maybe. Amplifier gods don’t rain latFETs like manna.

 

[Vunce]

Hehe!
Don’t forget the sixteen 100v caps.

 

[xrk971]

They are all a small price to pay for what could be “the best amplifier” ever heard.

 

[Stale25]

Est ce que des fichiers gerber vont bientot etre disponibles pour cet ampli ?

 

[Dibya]

Please don't forget , that amplifier of such insane specs goes for at least $8K and above
I personally don't need such high power but people driving high impedance high end horn or line array or planner will be crazy to buy such high end Class AB amp.

 

[arthur]

I have all the TRS in my drawer and welcoming for this great amp

 

[Stale25]

N'oubliez pas que cet amplificateur avec des spécifications aussi insensées coûte au moins 8 000 $ et plus
Personnellement, je n'ai pas besoin d'une puissance aussi élevée, mais les gens qui conduisent un pavillon haut de gamme à haute impédance, un line array ou un planificateur seront fous d'acheter un tel ampli de classe AB haut de gamme.

Je ne comprend pas votre commentaire. Vous avez votre avis personnel et je le comprend. Mais quel rapport avec la valeur d'un tel produit commercial et le sujet traité ici ? Il est bien question de diy et les personnes intéressées peuvent librement participer pour le peu que les gerbers soient disponibles et pourquoi pas un group buy.

English please Stale25:
“I do not understand your comment. You have your personal opinion and I understand it. But what does this have to do with the value of such a commercial product and the subject dealt with here? It is indeed a question of DIY and those interested can freely participate as long as the gerbers are available and why not a group buy.”

 

[Stale25]

Ok, sorry.

 

[xrk971]

We don’t want to scare you off - it’s just capacitors. 😛

There is indeed a group buy setup a long time ago. But no interest back then. Maybe our fearless verification builders Shanebou24 and ThompsonTech can help get us over the hump of anxiety over whether or not this amp is worth it.
