Sorry to ask about the same question but I want to know what is the voltage rating of the transformer in the original Aleph 60?
Is there websites of people who built this amp?

My Aleph sounds better
Gabriel,
The Aleph 60 uses 200 watts of power, so use 400 va mininum.
Have you previously built class A or an Aleph.
Unless I mis understand you, are you planning to store you components as per the image?
The narrow shelving would make natural convection relatively inefficient.
I say this gently, but without knowing more about your situation I think some practical application is in order so you can appreciate the nature of the class A amplifier.
Pass designed his amps free standing because it would be largely impractical to stack them with other equipment due to heat and weight.
Unless you have major waaf issue (the wife problems) with decor it may be easier to implement another approach without far of failure
regards

No no no, I was talking about voltage rating...in VAC.
Actually, the amps will be side by side on the top of a furniture. I've only used this picture because I love the rack and it had two amplifiers that could be modified.
However, these amps won't lie there forever...what would be the mininal clearance above each amp (one amp per shelf)
regards,
Gabriel
P.s: That rack is 600$US so it's highly impossible that my two aleph will end up there.😛

I would not recommend stacking the Aleph amplifiers, since one would run hotter then the other. I would definately run them side by side (as you mentioned running them on top of furnature).

They wouldn't be stacked but on different shelves. That's why I wanna know what would be an acceptable clearance above the amplifier. It's just to give me and idea at this moment since I'll be able to figure out when I'll have them.

I'm not entirely sure about the Wizard of Oz analogy, if you remember the lines...
Dorothy (angry): Your a terrible man!
W. o Oz (apologetic): No dear, I'm not a terrible man, I'm just a terrible wizard.
Can't say that I'd class NP as a terrible wizard, but with the last post about the 12' TLs there certainly seems to be a bit of mad scientist in there !
cheers, mark
'Nuff said !

Mr. Pass' multiplier for transformer voltage rating convertion (AC to DC) is 1.2.
35V / 1.2 = 29.2 Vac
Is the original transformer in the Aleph 60 rated at 30Vac ?
35V / 1.2 = 29.2 Vac

The DC voltage will be higher than the AC (assuming that the rail doesn't collapse). If you want to use 1.2 as a multiplier, then you'll end up with 35*1.2=42.
That why it's called a multiplier, rather than a divisor...

I was going to respond to your first post but held back. In his equation, Gabster is converting 35Vdc to ac secondary voltage so he is correct in dividing by 1.2. Note that he said:
35V / 1.2 = 29.2 Vac
