Ian,
It's going out in the mail today...same address, right?
My printer's not that fine though so shave off some if you think it's going to short out.

Are Macka's proto's the same 12 1/8 " size as planned in the beginning of this thread.
The boards on those pics look huge !

Same address Allan,
I have not split the two halves but the length is about right.
If you were planning a dual mono A30 you could have both sides on one pcb I imagine.

Jacco,
The boards are mirror image and as Ian said not yet split. I did mirror images for those building A3/30/5 who would want it in one chassis (dual mono). The pro boards will be V-scored.
Ian,
Did you keep it 3" x 12 1/8" as designed? It does look huge in the picture. We might be looking at a mirage of the Great Outback🙂

The pcb is a direct take on the layout.
The image is distorted (2nd harmonic only..LOL) by the camera angle.
Ian😉

You have to be carefull, those Aussies have no self-control.
Mind you, i love the size of these boards !
I am about to receive a bunch of 16" heatsinks from Walter, so you are welcome to stretch as long as you stay below 15" , Ian Mackaroo.
Now its time for macka3 !

I have read this thread and I see you have a problem with Routing your board's - I can help you if you want
I have a full version of PADS 5.1 and Protel DXF 2004 - profesional PCB Software ( and knowldge for PCB routing ) you can contact me and I can do it this whithout any problem 🙂

tubeadept,
The design is actually ready for production. A production house already has it in their file (although un-updated) waiting for my go-ahead. I just had to delay it to sort out family business first. Macka had volunteered to etch it manually and give it a try. Hoping this gets off the ground (or dragstrip🙂 soon. Thank you for the offer.

AR2,
I just took a harder look at the design. It looks like adding just two vias will help it morph into an Aleph 1.2!! Twelve pairs of output devices or more if you can cram it on your super large heatsinks. As you might have guessed, you'll need two sets of the boards for one channel of A1.2.
Ian,
Looking forward to your new A30.
Allan
I am currently posted in Dallas with my job. I hear I'll be moving on to San Diego in the next few weeks where I'll remain for an extended period. Once I'm settled, I'll definitely finalize order for the boards. I hope some of you are still excited with these boards...it's taking me forever! Just like you I hate it.
Summary: Aleph 1.2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 30, 60 and X configs.

When this will finally be available and you chaps in Europe would like to try it...it will be through one person who can consolidate all Euro orders and send payments in $.
Paging Herr Vermeulen....?!

I'm not entitled to the M title...that's for shall we say SMEs. But somebody in Europe as contact person to uncomplicate things would be nice. A big favor actually. Make shipping cheaper and easier. Less things to think about for me at least🙂 Lazy icon, Busy icon, Scratching butt icon, etc.

Thats what i admire about US people, whenever needed you guys relocate over a distance what for most here is incomprehensable.
Allan,
i was referring to you rubbing your vase, not your shoe !
Of course i am glad to contribute.
Mr Pass just recently posted how important the layout of a pcb is.
The Aleph's and Zen's are just about the best to construct for a diy amplifier builder with a good board, relatively easy and even affordable when it comes to active parts.
Go figure, i used to buy $15 Lateral Mosfets for my early stuff, i just aquired a number of IRFP rails for $1.50 per device overhere.
With the consent and approval of the Number 1 Bon Vivant honorary member himself, and Mr Rollins, of the pcb's and the layout, people should grab the ocassion to get their hands on
universal Aleph boards.
So, if can help to make the pcb's available for Euro's to see the light, with pleasure.
(btw, i weigh 220lbs, started Aikido lessons before Steven Seagall had a ponytail, worked a couple of years at the entertainment doors of Sin City to pay for my education at PolyTech.
I have an SME arm, but it only makes music.)
Thanks JV. I owe you a set of boards🙂 Sin City as in Las Vegas...I didn't think Europeans can last in desert temp unless of course dressed as tourists.

Allan,
it is very nice that i can buy a couple of sets of these boards from you, and donate to diyaudio.
Not Vegas, Amsterdam is called Sin City too for a number of years.
Some of the stuff there would frighten even Las Vegas veterans, or Frisco types.
A great many "remarkable" persons originating from the FSU and the former Yugoslavia with "remarkable sums of money" made their way to Cheese city.
And too many pills and powders nowadays, not funny anymore.
I've lived in Seattle, been to Texas, never seen Vegas, nor feel the need.
I was stationed in the Carribean dressed as a marine, been to Surinam when Holland still had special forces there, Brasil, drove the PanAmerican highway with a gun in the glove compartment, Texas was worse.
I have Afro-American friends in Texas, the Texas South Coast humidity even drives them bonkers.
Survive Texas, you'll survive Vegas, my guess.

Jacco,
I visited Amsterdam when I was 10 and 12 y/o. Beautiful place and countryside. You're right...I remember walking around town at night with my parents and the view needed some parental guidance. We stayed at Sonesta? Hotel and Ibis near Schipol. One big sign reads "What's on a Man's Mind" with Freud's caricature and a naked woman superimposed. I enjoyed the sight of windmills, tulips and cows more🙂
Texas grows on you. I like it here when I worked from 2 years before. It's very multi-cultural and not as some Americans potray it or even think about it. The Gulf coast is very humid and hot so with San Antonio. Dallas is hot and dry.
