Will you have any gerber files ready for prototyping anytime soon.Tad
I think we need to get people on board first, but if you want to do a protorun, I can get gerbers for you ½ after you ask for them 🙂

Jens,
What does 1/2 after you ask exactly mean? Like real fast?
Sounds good. I can have 3 pcb's made for proto fairly cheap.

Jens and Tad, the wiki page is up and you may edit it so it fit your needs. It is also a good idea to have the wiki link in your sigs as long as this group buy is active.
Andrew,
You are right, the BCE leads don't match up between the MJL and NJL. I guess I could always try the NJL's with the boards I got from Dr. Leach when I was in school. Just a couple more wires in the setup.

The board is 29.5 cm long... what heatsink should we get?
I think this needs some consideration. The board as detailed is ~11 5/8" long.
Should there be consideration given to making the driver section seperate from the front end?
I think so. I ask for your comments, please.
this should do nicely....Conrad Heatsinks - ProductsThe board is 29.5 cm long... what heatsink should we get?
or 2 x 200 mm ones, i.e. 2 x MF20 Series

Thanks for the commet Ed, I have now made a section of the board where it will be possible to cut off 6 of the output transistors... makning the board ~21.5cm (8.5") can you work with this?

I'm in for at least 2 boards...
Do I need to sign up on the Wiki or is this ok for now??
Thanks for all the hard work..😀

Don't forget to add any optional screw holes at the possible cut line.
Already done 🙂 - But thanks for the heads up

Somebody of the organizers must fill the wiki page with accurate info first. Right now it's only a template.I'm in for at least 2 boards...

Jens and all,
My request for review was to keep the front end off of the heatsink. My thought is for more options in choosing heatsinks and mounting.
I plan to use 12 output transistors per channel. I will go with the majority.
Arrgh! Not thinking clearly. What I meant to ask was different: making the OUTPUT section separate from the front end.Should there be consideration given to making the driver section separate from the front end?

Hi
Some questions !!!
What is the level of difficulties to build this amp ?
To found the components
To Match the transistors
The settings
Have you an idea about the price of the components ?
What are the qualities of this amp ?
Thanks
Serge

Serge,
The way this amp is layed out makes it much easier than some to construct. It is not considered to be a first time amp build. The cost of components can easily reach 500.00 dollars.
The good thing is that the members of this forum will do just about anything to help out.
Do a very in depth search for parts because prices vary between suppliers. Also, remember to order most stuff in one lot. The shipping can be outrageous.
If you choose to build this amp you will have a world class amp.

Leach for sale
Just FYI, i've got a pair of 6 output Leach boards for sale.
Very nice boards. So if you don't need 10 devices this could be for you.

I have been looking for a good design for building a 5 Channel amp for my 7.1 theater system in the living room. Since my front channels are powered by a Aussie amp nvx500 I don't need so much power for the surround speakers so the ability build the low power version is appealing. Would the full version be a good amp for a sub? If there is enough interest in the US I would be willing to consolidate the shipping and redistribute if it helps. Also Jens boards are so pretty they are hard to resist.

tryonziess, what happened with the wiki page?
You haven't filled it with any info regarding the group buy.

PA,
We do not as yet have a final product to order. When that is completed we will be off to the races. I see quite a bit of interest in this project, me for one. I have signed on to Wiki.
