Can I get an opinion or two on this...
MOSFET SE preamplifier plus volume control 128 steps highly reliable relays ! | eBay
It's also available as just a PCB, for about 1/3 the price.

this is not Aleph 1.7, it is Aleph 1.2
the preamp is older, not so good
I have new stereo set aleph 1.7 PCB whit power supply PCB

Let me know if there is somebody interested in this project. I'm still receiving questions about the availability of AP1.7 boards - I can make next series.
Any chance to add relay volume control PCB to 1.7 ?
(I would be interested for 3Xstereo - 6 chanels)

you can buy 1kOhm RelVol3 attenuator board with your choice of a control board for it (say VolCont2 for example) from Mikkel (dantimax.dk). I have them and they work well.
btw: for alephP v1.7: I will be making my own pcb by Xmass time, two sided, no big loops rail-to-ground, and for Wima caps to fit, (could accommodate additional footprints for those interested to join in in sharing the cost). if interested PM me.

Hey veteren, I tried looking at your blog and it said it was not available at this time. I've got some questions about an old project board you did and build instructions. How can I reach you?
new board on the block
FYI, and only if you'd preffer a different flavour.

SLOWLY BUT SURELY completing my build. The Hammond 56 v CT transformer I ordered is giving me 68v and before I power up the power supply, I wanted to confirm this will be ok. It seems in Geneva our 220 v is actually 238v. Will this extra 8 volts be ok to use? Thanks,
I guess it is ok: I went ahead and powered up the power supply via a light bulb tester, no problem, then went direct to the wall plug and am getting 62 v DC one channel and 61.8 vDC the other channel so I assume this is ok and close enough to the target 60 v dc output needed to run the preamp.
Now to finish stuffing the preamp boards.

Hello all or whomever might still be following this thread. Lots of smoke yesterday. I finished the aleph 1.7 and with my light bulb tester I was getting 62 volts DC of both channels from the power supply, and voltages of 28.9 between resistors 25 and 610 on both boards, just as was shown on Veterans schematic, no smoke, everything good, transistors not too hot, and light bulb tester going quite dim when caps charged etc.
Hooked up to music and mains power and f5 amp, and when I turned music on, I got extremely small sound at medium volume volume levels followed ten seconds later by amazing smoke. Both 2200 uf caps had melted, I saw that I had used 63 volt caps rather than 100 v caps but obviously preamp boards did not seem to work as sound so low.
Do I have a short somewhere that the lightbulb tester did not catch. Or was the smoke just because of the caps I used at 63 volts rather than 100 volts, as perhaps the light bulb tester allowed the caps to charge slowly and safely whereas wall current was too much.
F5 was undamaged, so no problem there.
I ordered 100 v. 2200 uf caps now, and will replace when I get them and test power supply with preamp boards disconnected with lightbulb tester, then with mains power direct. Then I guess reconnect preamp boards to power supply retest with mains tester then direct power and see what happens.
Not connected to amp and music source, no problem at all, and voltages of preamp boards tested correctly. As soon as connected to music source and amp, then a power supply cap meltdown. Anyone have any thoughts as to why this might have happened?

Hi, did you solved this problem? Try to measure current (+ line) or use current regulated power supply for the first start up.
