The Aleph-X

Mine isn't done yet (nor will it be any time soon), but I've been keeping a bunch of notes and pictures of my progress thus far:

The notes are a combination of my own experiences plus many of the good tidbits that I've read on the threads here. I'm still a noob and still learning - so I'm trying to document the effort so that other noobs can better learn, too.

Hi Lumanauw

For us to reach 0.5M review, we need reading, not necessarily writing. You open once, close it, go to toilet, open it again, close it, go to breakfast, open it again, close it, go to work . . . and continue this everyday. OK?

Regards

power supply

Ive just started building my aleph-x and following kk power design. Why is finding a good choke such a mission😕
The only one im able to find locally is a speaker crossover rated at only 100w (.8 mm wire) Q: if I was to parallel two of these puppies together would it keep the same henry 1.8mH, would the DCR reduce from 1.1 ohm and would the wire size be equal to 1.6mm

Cheers!!:wave:

Hi,


dc resistance would be halved, induction would be halved, and wire diameter would be equivalent to 0,8 times sqrt2 = 1,13.

You could try to find torobars from intertechnik. I´ve used them up to 8A DC without saturation, they are relatively small and not as expensive as air chokes.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for your kind words! I am very appreciative of the Wiki that exists here and the time and effort that has been put into it, but I've always considered that to be the Wiki for those who really know what they are doing already. It covers all of the major points, but still has a number of "holes" in it that kept me guessing.

My intention for my own web page is to make it the Wiki for the novice. I've been going through all of the big threads and picking out out the smaller details that people have reported along the way. Looking back at it, it is really much larger than I thought it was - and all I have right now is a populated PCB... Been spending my time and money on other things recently, so I'll probably get back to building in the spring.
