Trust, the most delicious Dx Amplifier

Supply voltage to the Trust amplifier is 36 volts

So, no condenser or capacitor will need more insulating voltage than 35 Volts.... if you want some more insulating voltage you can use of course...but really not needed.

I told that bootstrap electrolitic and zobel needed higher insulating voltage but was my mistake.

Nothing there needs more than 35 volts.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
 
Disregard the earlier ones that El Carlos "Quickdraw" posted.
:devilr:

Here's photo of him shooting flies. It's actually a video, but he's so fast you can't see him move.

Note to self (me not Doug): Never send Carlos preliminary schematics, because he posts them with problems and that causes endless confusion. I will put big "DRAFT ONLY - DO NOT POST" markings on it. Making them too big is a good idea, but it doesn't stop him. 😎

The final one is not ready yet, but it will be uploaded here when the QC department has approved it.

ha ha 😀

Note 2: There is no QC department.

ha ha

See you april.

Please, do not even try to discuss theories not to atract boring theorists to come here...
no problem Carlos!
The link was just for your circuit collection. I know you are an addict 😉
One of the related designers, Mr. Haas, has written books and articles about audio electronics and runs a small audio-kit selling company.

I found that copper lines has different dimensions compared to the whole board

So i had to measure once again and prepare those informs to you.

This image shows the copper lines only..but board is bigger..we need room to parts that are fat (electrolitic condensers goes out from the board if it is small).... also trimpots.... also transistors need space (power units)...also we need room for holes to attach board to the chassis or heatsink using screws.

Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Not trying to be a "theorist" here. Just curious.
Why all the 7.5pf caps on the output transistors?
I guess they have something to do with stability, to prevent oscillation.
Or maybe to allow various transistor types to be substituted.
Or maybe they roll off some higher harmonics to give warm lush tone...

Regards,
Mike
 
The two extra capacitors we have included into the official schematic published by

dear Todd are usefull but you can survive without them if you need.

Also you can install them under the board as they are small ceramic 104 capacitors.

The trimpot can be substituted by two resistances in series if needed.

So, do not worry about board... the one made by Alex mm is good enougth to be used... this is a DIY circuit... also a DIY board.... not a challenge to perfection....so.... some small capacitors under the board can be used.

Also paralell resistances if needed can be used too... the musical and sonic "spirit" will not disappear without a perfect construction...do not worry with those small things.... better to worry about speakers as they are a hell bad things we have.

Ancient air pumps that distorts a lot!

regards,

Carlos
