The MONGREL (supersym II)

Mirrored PCB layout

The CLX will have 14 or even 16 devices (2Q CCS ??) , more than the "blameless" , but that does not scare me. I should be a very "mirror image" layout.

Hi OS, here is my PCB layout with the same "mirror concept" as far I could (no labels) only to show you how I did it, trying to maintain "symmetry" (equal length tracks) to avoid parasitic imbalance, anyway the circuit is highly immune to parasitics.

Cheers
Arturo

Think I need a new multimeter

Finally able to get back to my work after the flood waters have fallen. You can see how high the water went by the marks near the top of the roller doors. It reached the 2nd floor in the offices. There is still an ocean of water around the workshop. Goodbye to all my tools.
Pete.

On to peace and class AB...

Saw that movie , BG. Krisfr ,(member) gave me some much needed scope probes and FR-4 , for which I thank him dearly. 🙂🙂 (Below 1) is .1mv/div of the AX/PB250 noise floor. I can hear nothing , even with my new mongrel ready speakers (below 2) ... but the CRO shows the "grass" nicely. Playing with the manual exposure is tricky , but my scope shots will eventually improve.

Another big help is to have some awesome loudspeakers (at least mids and tweeters), to hear the subtle acoustics. GOLDEN ... between 800 -20K . 🙂
Makes 10X the difference than a topology change.
And last (Below 3-4) , to burn some more juice with too much equipment, and my "big scope".. 😀
