I am finishing my LEACH 150 amp. It is a kit available from DIYZONE in Taiwan. The schematic in pdf can be download from http://www.diyzone.net/images2/LEACH1006SCH-1.pdf. The amp is constructured in mono-block fashion. Each channel has a big toroidal transformer capable of delivering 150 WRMS output.
The figure shows you the assembled PCB and transformers. I will measure the amp using AP System One. I will follow the measurement procedures used in Stereophile equipment review.
Will this clone perform as good as the original LEACH. Some measured data are available from Prof. Leach web site.

After 30 min 1/3 output power (50 W, 8 Ohm) warm up, THD vs output power is measured. The result is shown in the attached figure. At the moment, the heat sink temp is about 62 C. The amp meets the designed output power level, 150 W, before clip.

Hi Todd,
I want to see whether it can reach something like NAD M3. Sterephile reviewed it earlier. The results can be found at http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/107nad/index4.html
, in particular THD performance.
I don't like those higher harmonics, > 3 rd.
THD residual at 50 W, 8 ohm is shown here.

Panson...can you provide me, please, the schematic values?
I want to keep this one in my computer...i have some ideas related modified Leach units.
Send me directly if you cannot post here:
panzertoo@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Carlos

Hi Bonsai,
I use Audio Precision System One. It is a PC controlled audio analyzer. You can find its info from www.ap.com
Hi Carlos,
The schematic and BOM are available from
http://www.diyzone.net/images2/LEACH1006SCH-1.pdf
http://www.diyzone.net/images2/LEACH1006BOM.XLS
Let us know your idea.

those transformers looking good with your great amp...
Hi Panson where do you get your transformers, seem likes some kind of low profile version. Looks really great!
Anyway, I just finished mine right early of May, no current limiter too, with all home made PCBs.

Hi Zero & Panson,
the link does not work because this site adds a "." to the address.
The poster did not bother to check that his link worked (bad boy).
See post6.
Due to his laziness/oversight your work around is to right click, copy, paste, delete the extra "." at the end of PDF and go.

Bonsai said:Panson, can you do a distortion vs frequency analysis with your ap system - typically at 1W or 10W out?
Hi, I can do later. Here is 50 W, 8 Ohm THD vs freq with different bandwidths.
