thread gets an XA200.. hehehehehehe
looks sweet.....

She's a beauty!
And the Aleph X is not bad looking either......
Thank for the nak..... er I mean fine art photography of the amplifier. WAY COOL! How about a group shot of the Pass Labs pirate crew? Eye patches are optional of course.

Nelson, styling wise does it really need front handles ? !.
Also, what are those connections at the bottom right of the real panel for ?.
What is the efficiency of these amps, and the lower power versions ?.
Regards, Eric.

Nelson,
Thank you very much for your detailed XA-200 pics. I didn't expect such detailed pics. Tonight I have something to dream about.

Thanks for the pics, building an Aleph X will be much easier now, no excuses indeed😉
So 4 thermistors in parallel, what would be preferred resistance generated under load?

But you have a weakness for 90 degress traces... Shame!!! hahahahhhahhhaa
Seriously ... Nice design!!!

oups!!! i forgot the

I think that the discussion about paralleling multiple output devices can now be closed because as you can see on the pics Nelson uses only one input diff pair (and no cascoding).
To answer a couple of questions: The 4 CL60's in parallel
are running about 8 amps and are about .5 ohms each,
for a 1 volt or so drop. The ripple filtering from front to back
of the supply is about 50 to one.
I use very tachyons instead of electrons, 'cause they turn
the right angle corners faster.
The amps draw about 600 watts each, and they clip at 200
into 8.

The best one i have heard.. hahahahaha
Congratulations on your new amp!! If i would have money enough i would buy it just for the look!

Mr. Pass, your post today was the single most inspiring event in the whole thread. I'm starting building my Aleph X today.😉
Since I have my A75 open and ready for mods it shouldn't be long. Initially I was thinking about Aleph2, but Aleph X will be a better choice (since I see a single ended input on back panel of your new amp, for some reason X series amps didn't have it)😉 .
So it will be 4 banks of 4 matched devices. If everything goes OK, you can all expected next week.
