Hi Electromagix, Great diy building indeed, especially the "naked" version - never thought of doing that.

I'm a bit puzzled by the pcb design and perhaps you might enlighten me - the output transistors 1943/5200 are on one end of the pcb but the output terminals seems to provided via the delay relay (?) at the opposite end of the board, yes? Is there a purpose for this separation and longer tracking?

Ah right, sorry - missed that

A Gareth Roberts (?) also made some rather heavy copper boards and allowed provision for the larger wattage resistors, etc - no kubota but I got a pair of boards from our mate from HK (Jim's) so have the option - I often use a high gain Cap multiplier as rail filters and allows flexibility in the power supply - the Salas L-Adapter is also a rather good supply for this too. Large, high quality power caps are getting harder to find &/or crazy prices.

Hi, am back at my old loved Hiraga Class A after 101 days!!
So far there is who things I dont need in my hifi life, Nelson Pass B1 with Nutube and Hiraga with Kubota. Been there tryed that ( :

So I got 4 new transistors (1943 / 5200), change the 180 / 240 Ohm resistors ( Dale RN65 ) and the 300 Ohm resistor ( Amtrans AMRG ).

So now it plays again, lifted the pcb 5cm + so transistors no 1/3 up from bottom.

Frank

amplidude: They are maybe not ideal, but was what I got when building. The heatsinks have connection with the bottom plate, the top plate, and the front/back plate. I have about a degree difference on the heatsink. 56-57 degree ( 27 in room ).
