Started soldering components for my SX dual mono build.

The last post is not editable anymore.
However one more thing.
R4 according to pcb and "drawing" of the pcb in the manual says 100k.
The BOM in the manual says r4=15r
According to the schematic is is supposed to be 15r.

I guess it shall be 15r?

It is not mentioned anywhere else in the manual.

Another small "fault/difference" between the sx pcb and manual.

On the pcb from jims audio it says R20=220r.
The manual says R20=1k
I guess that the manual is correct here.

bambadoo - correct. R20 was increased to 1k reduce the adjustment range and prevent too much current to flow if you did not adjust R6 for Max (i.e 1k).

I have had the same feedback on the nx-amp - will make the updates when Jim does another batch of boards.
 
Hi everyone,my first post in this thread. (I know I'm late-story of my life ) I am considering building the SX version but I would really like a bit more class A power. Is it possible to increase the output to 25W RMS into 8 ohms from the normal 15W?
If so does anyone have the details
Thanks
Alan
 
My thanks to builders Vinnie from Italy, and Bambadoo from Norway for picking up the R4 error. R4 should be 100 k and not 15 ohms as I posted in an earlier erratum. This confusion came about from an earlier version of the board. I have updated the 1st post to reflect this.

Separately, it was reported that the offset could not be completely dialed out on some amplifiers. I will come back on this in the next few days.
 
Thanks.. Getting closer 🙂

BTW: One issue:
In the manual page 32 for sx amp it says:
On the chassis mount terminal block you can see in Photo 3 towards the top LHS of the transformer, I wired in a 22 Ohm 0.5 W resistor between the power supply 0 V and the chassis – i.e. in parallel with the ground lifter. The latest PSU updates have incorporated this resistor on the PCB.
The PSU pcb from Jims audio do not have this incorporated as I can see.
So a ~22ohm resistor between the psu pcb (0V) and chassis ground will do the trick?

Best regards.
