The postal service to USA is often unpredictable. I had few cases when it took close to a month for a small package, air mail delivery.
power up my Aleph30
What's the best way to power up my amp. I've 2 toroids of 2x18V- 300VA and 1of 2x18-500VA

pcb still available
Hi Peter,
I'm wondering if you still have some pcb available. If yes, I'd like to order two. I've just sent you an e-mail but was not sure if the webmail if working correctly.

Olivier

I just replied to your e-mail. There approx 4 boards left at the moment. One board is good for two channels.
hot hot HOT
I thought my amp was very hot. I've never had an amp run this hot before and was a bit nervous so........
I borrowed a few thermistors from work and fastened them onto various components inside and outside the amp, closed it up and played it for 2 hours.
The top of the IRFP240's got as high as 67C, the tab of a 9610 on the differential pair got to 82C, ambient inside the amp was 48C, temp on the hottest spot of the heatsink was 55C.
These readings surprised me as I can barely hold the palm of my hand against the heatsink for more than a few seconds
yet the temp on the 240 suggests my heatsinking is OK.
Question: is the tab temp on the 9610 a little high at 82C as the spec says absolute max is 150C at the junction.
BTW fantastic sounding amp 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Ultrafast cross atlantic delivery , nice boards indeed.
Peter is the man.
Is there any parts list available to clone ?

Attached is a BoM I used when making mine, it should be fairly obvious.

Re: hot hot HOT
just place one mutual heatsink for both 9610.....even Alu plate is good enough 😉

Re: hot hot HOT
No problem. Keep the junction below 100'C and your're in good shape.
Q1/Q2 junction temp: 82'C + (0,3W x 6,4'C/W) = 84'C 😉

Stupid question from me to all of you so I don't have to go back thorugh all the posts to find out but what type of 1/4 watt resistors this board laid out for? I have yet to use these little doggies yet and am curious.....
Thanks!
