ppcblaster,
Thanks a lot for this. I will get in touch with Russ
I think 4 inches (1ft piece cut to 3X4") is a good size, that should give me a heatsink 5 3/8 X 4 X 1. That should put it around 1 C/W. Think that is enough cooling? or should I consider bigger lengths.
Thanks again,
Dinesh

Re: Size
Hehe... you had the same idea too?

I have 6 spare boards and 2 spare parts packs that I bought in the group buys (I thought I would be building more than two but I don't see it happening right now).
Will sell them for the same price (no profit just to cover my expenses).
Hello BNK,
I was trying too email you but you have that option disabled. Could you please email me, what will be the price for 2 boards and 2 parts kits. I am interested.
Thank you

I will take only what it cost me (original price + shipping + paypal fee), just to get my expenses back.
I assume that shipping price (international) is the same here as in sweden (I don't have time to calculate exactly, If it will be more, on my account 🙂 ).
Original price for two pcbs including shipping was
325sek = 48.32$ + paypal fee(0.3$+3.9%) = 50.5$.
As for the parts, I've decided to to keep 2 spare boards + parts for now until I'll finish the project (sorry for that).

If I use bridged mode, also one toroid per board?
Another question:
I tried to find the right voltage for bridged mode.
The specs of the LM4780 does recommend 25V DC (~18V AC) for 120W power.
What happens if I go beyond that, say like 30V or 35V?
Any parts kits available for sale?
I was not able to get the pars to populate my two boards,
are any part kits available? if so what is the cost?

A dream situation, no problems with that.BNK said:If I use bridged mode, also one toroid per board?
A guess is that 2 x 24 VAC will work pretty good with sufficient cooling and not using the amp for disco.BNK said:Another question:

Re: Any parts kits available for sale?
There was a parts group buy (finished).
You can find there a mouser bom listing most of the parts (thanks to Bob).

I meant to ask whether one toroid per two channels (two boards) will work well?

What's the problem with disco?
Two pcb's and one transformer may work but the grounding is critical in order to avoid hum and distortion.
disco, rock, heavy metal or whatever 🙂

Ok, understood -> one toroid per board.
peranders said:

In these cases, go for 18VAC?
If you plan to use it in heavy duty, it may be better to use 18 VAC but since the IC has over temperature protection you can use a higher voltage and possibly experience distortion at real high output power but the amp will not die.

Please email me the BOM, I don't see it Thanks

still missing some components ... I'm not much of a solderer but soldered most of it.
Panasonic are good caps for c24/c25 (15-22000uf 50V)?
Kendeil and ChemiCon 15000-2000uf 50V are hard to come by Might other vendors caps harm the sound (vishay, panasonic, xicon ...)?
35V caps are enough for 22-25V AC (bridged mode)?
