Mr. Andrew Sir, I,m not looking for an argument if I want that I just talk to my wife HAHa
To answer your questions I,ve built both versions of the leach amp using The 12 transistor version is the same board but with a lot of changes done to use my TO-3 trannies. As to sound quality the leach is an amplifer that will take out most commerical amps around. Take out means No contest. Regards Evette

I'm finishing up my Telos amplifier then will move on to this one. I had already started the Telos so sorry for the wait.
Dont forget to invite your neighbours over for a home theatre experience once you complete your 10 channel amplifier

Something special about this amplifier
Or is it the music ?
in listenning test, surely it has beaten my carver receiver .I have used a behringer mixer with low ,mid and high contol and to control the volume of the signal because I did not put a volume contol on the amp.I compare the symef to my carver coz it has also high ,mid and low contol.
symef turned my tower speaker(yamaha) sounds like a big speaker.voice of the artist sounds big and the bass is very good even at low volume.I really like the mids and lows of this amp. thats why its sounds very natural to me.
thank you so much for this amplifier.I am very satisfied with this amp.it is really worth of my money,time and energy.Now my worries are over the amp. is working and sound is excellent.
thanks, harrison .I do love your symef amp. now.It is a treasure!🙂
The mids are lust, particularly with female voices in a euphonic way that easily seduces.
Also the sound quality I can,t express what it does to me When I cranked this amp up I come alive. I,m tranfromed into another dimenion I,m speaking about Mr harrison amp..Forget about the 40 volts I,m running my at 47 volts with to-3 outputs and this amp turns into a different animal. Mr.harrison was so kind he gave me some boards and boards for my friends close to me in montreal,, and they are are crazier than me,,HahaHa

It cannot be explained with words, it have to be listened to in real life.
Or is it the music ?

I have compared the leach amp to this amp from Mr. Harrison amp, at low levels the amps are simular at high power the leach takes it out. Evette
Evette, can you tell us how the sound quality compared to DX Amp, since you already compared it to the LEACH Amp? If you say it's better, then I will give it a shot.

On a more serious note, every single person has different preferences, ones might like a certain amp others the other. Then there is also the differences in the rest of the components like speakers so a direct comparison is not really valid if you dont compare the different amps in your own system. Seems you have to build one if youre curious enough......
Fredlock your opinion counts, everybodies personal opinion counts. The goal is to find out, has the formula discovered the secret of pleasing everyone.
How has the formula done this ? Well it is possible it reproduces music in the most natural way capturing the image painted by the artist, reaching out to the very soul.
As you can see the amplifier has evoked an almost erotic, rejuvenating, refreshing response from the male subjects. I am very much looking forward to feedback from female subjects, what we are having here maybe a scientific breakthrough.
What will the formula awaken in you ? Please join us.
kind regards,
Harrison.

We are very anxious for the news.
Dear Max,
Please allow me to ease the pain of waiting, I can ease the suffering, there is nothing like a pie you have tasted yourself.... 😉 . Don't let others taste it for you, they will not have enough vocabulary to describe it 😉

That is the best advise thus far on the question of personal preferences in this case. This also applies to the second part of Homemodder's last post.

Thank you for the advice, Mr. Harrison.
In fact, I enjoy producing my own DIY boards. So, I am looking for a more concise, smaller version, if available, of a single-sided layout for the SYMEF amp.
If not, I will design it by myself, as soon as I find the time...
Regards,
Max.
I think i found a nice transformer that would work well with the symef amp: 500VA toroid transformer 35-27.5-0-27.5-35 80Hx130Dmm | eBay

Interesting, that should give you 38 or 48 V DC, and thereby the possibility to go higher with 8ohm loads and lower with 4ohm loads...
I cannot afford it though.
I have however contacted the seller of that one pair of 160VA 2x28.5V auction about shipping to sweden for two and four transformers to see if its a viable source for a few of my other amp projects.
For my symef i may use a 500VA toroid that gives 2x25V, 2x10V and 2x13V, using the 2x25V windings in series with the 2x13V windings with the two 10V windings in antiparallel for 2x28V.
I custom wound this one so it will be 500VA capable no matter how i hook up the windings.

Though with the MJE21195/96 i use, 2x50V will be no problem with 4 ohm loads, checking this in a simulator shows that im not even near SOA at any point.
Not even at 2 ohms do i get near SOA.
Heres the proof: http://i.imgur.com/falC6.png
Those SOA currents on the right was taken on the 1 second line in the soa diagram in the datasheet.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lets have the data. Data helps us better understand something by visualizing it in one way or another. We discover non trivial as well as trivial results. In the quest for a large sample population, the population size was set to 30,000 to cater for all ages, genders etc. Each time one of you posts data we get closer to that target.
What are we trying to establish here? Is it possible to create an amplifier that pleases all parties all the time, using a formula ?
Much appreciation is given to those who have done so already.
Alex how is it going 😉
