Transformers ...
Hello,
I've been looking for some quotes on the transformers, remember I want to make 8 channels. For the European folks here I guess those could be of interest...
Option 1:
1.1 8xToroidal transformer TE400-240/60/60 EUR 48.30/each
Dims: Core 105/65x50, transformer 121 x 70mm incl. fixing parts
1.2 8xToroidal transformer TE400-240/60/60 EUR 55.25/each
Dims.: Core 145/70x25, transformer 158 x 46mm incl. fixing parts
Option 2:
2.1 4x Toroidal transformer TE800-240/60/60/60/60 EUR 71.80/each
Dims: Core 145/80x40, transformer 163 x 70 mm incl. fixing parts
I am affraid that the option 2 might give me headache if one channel gets driven hard... But at 800VA I think there is headroom.
What do you think ?

Yes, but his website is down, or at least unreachable for me so I was wondering if there was anyone else that had it, or an ETA of when he will be back up
Hello!
Well I'm looking for a quality amp and I built this amp, I think is a good bet.
Although do not be cheap quality has a price.
Making the plates, assemble and post the result.

Things will change. I will now only post in this thread and this thread only. If anyone wants to follow me, please do so here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/soli...-clone-worlds-best-amplifier.html#post2371250
What happened to the original, I thought this was a done deal with all the modifications and work put in for the group buy ...

Hi all, I must agree with 'a.wayne' …. what has happened to this project. I originally singed up to the group buy but now having second thoughts! Wouldn’t it make sense to finish building, testing and refining this project before moving on, especially as I for one would prefer a guild for the build. What next, let me guess….. “Goldmuld XXX, The Best - World’s Best Amplifier - I Have Ever Heard?

"Together with a friend of mine (he construct preamplifiers and amplifiers for the commersial marked in Norway (Audio Innovation) we have been in touch with Alex and got his permission to use his files to produce and ech one board. It all depends on that we do succed in converting Alex files into Gerber files. Gerber is not "my coup of thee" so please give me (us) a couple of days for a feedback on PCB.
If everything goes well I will populate and solder the boards. My friend will take care of evaluations and testings.
I hope that with this initiative we can put some "life" in this thread again.
So in a couple of weeks....?"
Be patient, we are working....

Keep me informed and this thread alive, no hurry for me, the layout of this board is right for my application.
Be patient, we are working....
Is there ANY interest in building this amplifier as it was last presented by AlexMM? With 4 plastic pairs and an improved front end power supply?😕
Similar to post #985 of this thread, IF so then the start of a NEW Thread is in order.
Thanks🙂

Yes I have interest in this Amplifier, I order 2 boards (stereo) from Bigpanda, he sent it yesterday to me.
If the board arrives I can sent it to some of the builders to test it, I am no electrical engineer I can’t make this Amplifier working.
I will sent the board for free to test, I hope that this person help me to solder the components to a final board and test it, I will pay all the cost of the new board and components of course.
Please check files here for more information :

Good news ............
Did BigPanda send you a KIT of ALL the parts with the board?
It a very positive thing that you got what you paid for.

It looks as if you have PARTS. What more do you need to get in the way of parts? There should be someone there in Europe to build it for you. Sending it across the Atlantic is TOO costly...
Very Happy for YOU...
Thanks

No, I paid only for 1 pair boards and he sent it yesterday to me.

When you receive the boards, please let us know here on this fiorum and if you can post some pictures of the boards.
Thanks, Daniel
