Folks,
I'm more than happy to supply the 2SK170GR, the ZVP2110G and the DN2530 and I'm confident I can get them in 100+ quantities at a good price through Digikey.
I can get them cheaply moreover as shipping is free with a large order.
I won't supply more parts than this - supplying parts is a logistical nightmare as you all know - but it should be effective and can be included with the pcbs.
Silver mica caps are readily available in the US from Hosfeltelectronics.com of Steubenville, Ohio. Cheap too, around 25c each.
I would recommend either a single 225VA toroidal transformer with two 25Vac secondaries, or a couple of 150VA trafos, one for each secondary, also with 25Vac secondaries. Suitable brands are Plitron, Avel Lindberg, ILP, Amveco and Toroid Corp.
Cheers,
Hugh

I am keen to hear Greg's sonic impressions of the amp and whether he has any preference for specific components ?
Hugh- count me in for the additional parts.
Thx.

Gotcha, Joz,
Greg is auditioning about two thousand kms to my north as we speak.....
I have checked with Mouser and Digikey today, Joz, and I can get 2SK170GR and DN2530 from M and ZVP2110G from D, but not all together. This obviously is not very convenient, anyone else having better luck?
I'm buying 100+ quantities, this is my advantage, but availability of fets is not wonderful.

Hugh

Hugh,
I found the same... If you are willing to buy large and re-sell on these hard to source parts, that works for me.
Ken
Thanks for confirming, Ken, this gives me new resolve......
Paul is visiting today for a chat about circuits, no doubt your work will come up!
Last night's auditioning of the hybrid bootstrap/CCS has been very good, we are simply waiting on confirmation of offset stability, then we move forward on the board manufacture.

Hugh

Hello Hugh,
Please add me with two boards with parts as well. I will send my exact address in pm.
Do you have an estimate about how much would be the boards + parts?
Thanks,
Zsolt

I have attached:
#1 Parts list for ONE module, double for both
#2 Latest circuit schematic as per Greg's (aka SWF) prototype
#3 Latest circuit schematic for power supply (tested good, all works)
#4 Composite pcb layout gif showing latest changes.
This project is now complete and delivered. I have only to order the parts and pcbs, despatch, and people can get to building.
Many thanks to Greg Peters, Paul Bysouth, Lineout, Mikelm, MiiB, and all others who have contributed. These projects look simple but to deliver all the documentation, triple checked and functional, is actually a big undertaking.
I will get cracking, and then ask each of you to contact me by EMAIL (see my website) to let me know your full particulars; that is, FULL name, FULL address, and whether you want pcbs alone, or parts as well.
It is YOUR responsibility to contact me with this information, as I won't chase you, too many to consider.
Cost of the additional parts will be $10, so total cost, including shipping anywhere in the world, will be $AUD60. I will NOT be asking for payment until I have both parts and pcbs, and am ready to despatch. Therefore, DO NOT PAY ME YET, I will inform you when it is time. Paypal will be used.
If the parts seem expensive it is because they are purchased in two tranches from the US and shipping to me is involved.
I think, from all reports from Mike and Greg, that this will be one exceptional amplifier. Not as good as the NAKSA mind, but still very good!! 😉
Thank you for your collective patience, this has been a dream so far! 😎
Cheers,
Hugh

I am going to try R13+C11, RC on the -ve supply, to see if it reduces my output hum.
May get that done later today and report in the build/design thread.

Hello Hugh,
I ordered two PCB + P.
Please added another 2 PCB + P for my friend🙂
I sent all the data delivery your email address on your website.
Thanks!

Vitali

Hugh,
I have found that C7 and C8 designators on schematics should be swapped. They are OK on PCB however. Could you please tell me how big are the fuses and what is external diameter of L1 inductor. Thanks.

George

Thanks Ken, George,
Changes made, now correct, please inform any other errors.
Inductor is 25 turns of 0.9mm DTE wire tight wound on a 5mm former. This gives just shy of 7mm OD and 23mm length.
Fuses are standard 3AG, old style, with pcb holders, commonly available.

Hugh,
There is one more, designators of C15, C16, C17, C18 should be corrected on schematics to match PCB.

Hugh,
It will be useful if you can post bigger version of just top overlay layer so all designators will be easy readable. This way it will be much faster to check for any mistakes.

Hugh,
Thank you, now it is much better readable. There is one more correction needed, optional caps C5 and C6 have different values on schematics comparing to parts list.

Ah, that's an interesting one....
The values on the schematic, 0.1pF for both phase lead and shunt fb, are in fact minimal values set for the simulator to figure the stability.
For difficult loads (read electrostatics!) the parts list is correct; these should 47pF for C5 (phase lead) and 22pF for C6 (shunt fb).
In almost every application where the load is NOT an ESL, these caps can be usefully omitted.
That saves a bit of angst, silver micas, essential for good sound in these crucial positions, are hard to source, but you guys in North America have a great source at HOSFELT ELECTRONICS, INC..
Cheers,
Hugh
