Ok. I am going to start off by saying that I have felt very much like an idiot the last couple of weeks while staring at my boards dreaming of sound...
About a year ago, I decided to build the F5 and the B-3 preamp. I bought the boards and stuffed most everything very quickly. Then life took over and I got sidetracked.
Well, a couple of weeks ago I finished my B-3 board and the Super Regulator board. I have the suggested Antek power supply. I would like to assemble these parts together in an old Radio Shack integrated amplifier case which I gutted if that is ok. It has the power switch, power cord, volume pot, and rca inputs intact.
The problem is that when I sat down to wire all of this together I realized that I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I have replaced capacitors before and stuffed a few boards but my knowledge of electronics is beginner at best.
Is it possible to use this case with the parts that are already there? Or will it not work at all? All of the wires on the torodial transformer scared the hell out of me. Which ones go to the power switch or power cord?
I am going to try to tackle this again this weekend. And then maybe onto the F5 in a few weeks...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
