.... Have all the images from the "production" if anyone is interested in...
Well, of course we are. 🙂

There you go 🙂. Had some parts for 10 years in my box, never the right time, had kids in the meantime... Long story short - you never have time, so I decided to take a plunge this year and finish it. Build took ~5 months (waiting for parts, planning, life...). Streamer still needs a casing. The amp itself needs soft start / DC protection for speakers (ordered from aliexpress).
!!!!!!!!!!
you have a shortie through your Donut , see picture - base plate - bracket No.1 , bolt , bracket No.2 , base plate
all you need is just one L bracket , it's strong enough
besides , mains NTC is hot in work , so plastic connection block is biiiiig no-no
in case there is no pic , this is direct link : Google Photos

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Thanks (hvala!) on your advice. Toroid is resting on a single bracket now (have older pictures in the album). Also, the NTC is now on much beefier connection and it does not get that hot (now I'm wondering if I have a problem..)
I finally installed the LEDs I like for my smaller AB100 - also the standard RCAs replaced with those shown in the attached picture.
Of course thank you NP for a good amplifier

Happen to have seen a great deal on an Aleph Mini and had an itch to scratch
Mounted in a repurposed Tandberg chassis - dual 19V rails, biased to 1.2A




Keeping it on my desk for nearfield listening out of Franken speakers - Optimus box with Tang Band long throw 4 1/2 " woofers attached to Monsoon Planar
the astute may notice a power switch on the back and the front - in my senility I had forgotten that I added a rear switch and wired it up for the front switch .... oh well
Makes working at night much more bearable.

Using the B1Korg as the pre, great SQ from the start, both need a bit of time to be their best.

I'm looking at that for the Turbo, I just built for a friend.
