my finished version of the Aleph P

[Stefanoo]

i wanted to share some pictures with you guys of my Aleph P.
Sounds is nice.
Performances of the circuit are very good.
Matching of the semiconductors within 5mV.
it's a two separate units preamplifier: PSU + line stage

It wasn't very easy to put all the parts together...but here it is...

an overall view of the outside.

a shoot of the power supply before it was wired up

an inside view of the two boards and the stepped attenuator inside the metal case.
I had to re-do the attenuator because i wasn't satisfied with the values i had first chosen and the quality of the resistors used...

and a last picture with the view of the rear panel

Absolutely gorgeous!

The attenuator in particular is a work of art. Congratulations.

Sounds is nice.

Looks very nice too. It will be easy to convert it to P1.0 once you get tired with the sound 🙂

Stefanoo,

Very beautifully done! Such elegant simplicity.

May I ask what is the source of the cases you used?

Cheers,
Dennis

Thanks a lot guys.

this is the website (English version)

it's a nice factory here in Italy and they have very nice stuff.
Prices are good!
Obviously i think shipping outside of Italy wouldn't make it as convenient as it is for somebody here.

Here some shots of the output at the oscilloscope.

the first picture is the upper bandwidth limit at -3dB (300KHz!!!)

 

[Stefanoo]

the second is the square wave at 10KHz

 

[Stefanoo]

...at 50KHz....still a pretty nice square...

 

[Stefanoo]

and last...at 100KHz....the square is definitely rounded down...

And capacitors by North Creek Music Systems.... very nice
