Pass Shootout In Salt Lake City Part-2

I am not too worried about this test Aleph protype. I have at least 5 more sets of Aleph boards to use for future projects.

I eventually plan on multiamping to go active on my crossover.

I will have to say I have caught the fever for building amps. It has become a lot of fun, since I really enjoy listening to my projects afterwards. I do really appreciate this forum and all of the useful information I have found on this site.

Hi Bill,

I see now, and this is a very good way to do this, especially if you have some spare boards to hand already. However, if you are ever completely 'stuck', using cyano as I mentioned can work quite well.

It is the way I have worked for years, as you never know quite how things will pan out until you finally try the amps in a system for 'sound' trials. Frequently there will be some minor mods to try out, or occasionally, almost an entire rebuild with alternative components, which I have found to be of benefit to the sound.

Then, when finally satisfied, I will (usually) rebuild the entire amps using new PC boards, just like you propose to do, I guess.

I fully agree with you that it is a lot of fun, and the satisfaction when listening to the final version is very rewarding for the constructor.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Regards,

Correction on capacitors

Actually, it is not 262,000 uf, but even higher at 272,000 uF.

I did not do the math for 68K uF, but after checking it is higher than previously posted.
