Interested in building one of these. i am wondering how it compares sonically to the aleph 3. Seems similar in power.
Um, yes, similar in power.
The published spec of the aleph 3 is 30 watter per channel in 8 ohms.
The published spec of the xa30.5 is 30 watts per channel in 8 ohms. That is similar in my book! Ok, I should have said it was the same.
Yes, it is in production.
So, is there a schematic available for it?

not similar in power ...... even if specs are the similar
don't believe in everything written by NP ....... there is always possibility of some catch22
compare measurements - XA 30.5 have much greater dynamic capabilities

ok, makes sense to me
thanks zen mod I think it actually does have more power the more I read up on it.

I'm lucky to own one. For sure it is more powerful and dynamic than Aleph 30. IMO It looks and sounds better too 🙂 Compared both side by side.
I am actually thinking about buying a new one for my B&W 804 matrix from 1994. What do you think Nelson?
I know some will laugh at this, but I still have the aragon 2004 which is not too bad. I bought a huge classe model 750, and it was too dark sounding. I got rid of that. I tried an ARC solid state-absolutely terrible...lasted a minute in my system. It ripped my ears out with its sharp treble. I built a pass aleph 3 from schematics on here. Sounds really good. I dont think the bass is as deep as I would like though. I dont need a lot of volume. I like Al dimeola and the holley cole trio at realistic listening levels.
I can not find anything that totally kills the aragon. I am wondering if I need a new pair of speakers...lol

The answer to your question is in you. Nobody here knows your preference. I like Pass sonic signature and could go blindly with any of his product but you may be a different story. I consider XA30.5 very fine power amp and do not plan any upgrade ever unless they come up with better one 🙂
.... unless they come up with better one 🙂
be sure that they will .......

If there any schematic availble, maybe A3 and F4 project will be canceled and GO for XA30.5. From sixmoon site & ather site rivew...that is very different A3/30 with XA30.5, yes..that is very similar to F4 output but with 3k3 3 watt on the output + 20 mosfet/chanel running balanced,susy's frontend,etc...I think, this is the most DIYer waiting to build and get the best PL product...ten year's later, maybe😀,
for now BBA-3 with Crippled F4 balanced that is quiet similar to XA30.5, maybe...🙄

Oh, T-03 case n channel enhancement mosfets.
Why do we use the to-247ac cases in the diy stuff?? usually
i guess I need to get some and experiment.

In this case, XA30.5 use TO-247 they are 240/9240 from IR.
maybe you must read [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular] Jeff Day speaking and review on XA30.5 sixmoons
there have nice picture's . And for Lateral mosfet/non lateral mosfet here maybe will help you about
lateral mosfet and non lateral mosfet stuff.
