Hi

after a heavy cold i am back again...slowly...

done:
1 Thiele network- coil and resistor
my first big coil without having a pole is annoying😒. i use a cap 71V 4700µF . this has the right size. 😉 i tried to "fix" the coil with tape or with heat gun but finally i use cable stripes.. looks bad but it works. i get 4,9µH...

wiring SSR to LS posts
it was not possible to solder on that kind of LS posts.....:smash:. they have a strange surface i use the set screw

Input GND to power GND

R26 0,22R soldered.
cut out the parallel resistor to R27 to get with 32V enough current for DC servo. PSU will be 42V

next step.
i am not really lucky with the rail cabling and the amps output cabling... 🤔
also the power plug and the filter is too big....🤔

open issues:
signal cabling prepared.
earth connection
NTC + power AC secondary cabling

Hi

i re check my PCB for cap banks ore similar...no chance.
but
i see at post 1761 by Vunce that he has mounted his prasi CRC and the transformer side by side.
no idea which VA his transformer .
i am a friend of big caps too --> less ripple..

what is "needed" for a 70W/8R amplifier? my roughly estimation is :
70W at 8R 2x for both channels 140VA --> 160 VA transformer + 50% reserve 250VA
what rating is needed for 4R?

70 watt @ 4 ohm is approx 6 amps peak load current per channel which gives an average of 1.9 amps per channel. Call it 2 amp. Two channels would be 4 amp. 4amp average current at a secondary voltage of 28 volts is 112 VA. Times two for both windings gives 224 VA. So 250 to 300 VA.

Revisiting post 1475 on the bump in the low end frequency response. I found that moving R3 so that is it before R2 seems to address this.

The tradeoff seems to be a -3dB point around 7Hz and about 1.2db less overall gain. Settling time does not seem to be affected. Not sure if this reduces the servo's authority.

R3 can be reduced from 4k7 to 3K which gives a -3dB point around 5Hz and the gain reduction decreases to about 0.8db.
