Thanks

that's , in fact , black part of Diyaudio ;
members are regularly eaten alive , and many of them vanished mysteriously .
first days - everything seems fine ..... then later - many of them are back in public , completely changed .......

Sure you can count on Zen_mod's description.
Couple that with loads of current and a bad attitude

Dis is da dark side of diyAudio....Once you enter here - well just think of everything you knew is backwards - upside down - and inside out (like using current to drive speakers instead of voltage). 😱 ZM has been an inmate here for a looooooooog time - so I think that sortta speaks fer itself

Hmm okay not sure i should lurk here much longer I havn't got SS down yet!!
That wiki page doesn't explain a lot, basically a different design of amp can anyone advance on this?
Hi boscoe - we are juz hav'n a bit of fun with you - don't take it personally. If and when you get SS down (which BTW will never happen - 'cause it will change by the time you get there) and decide you are tired of fooling around and just want to build one of the best designs around - you will discover that you were in the right place after all - Pass labs. I am fond of saying "in time - all things come to Pass". 😎

They might be 5% of the Diyers, but they account for 95%
of the whole DIY community s amp s power consumption.....
Okay thanks thomas I was joking! And another thing having a look through the gallery there dosen't seem to be many small enclosures and a lot of aluminium! I'm guessing only class A is welcome!?
preamps are anyway always in class A .....
my preamps are more in class A than some power amps around

It is all about getting the most out of simple designs, or trying to make things simpler while not losing audio enjoyment.
That does not necessarily mean it has to be class A, but generally it is.
One of Nelsons projects was based on the citation amp, which is not a pure class A design.

now seriously .....
point in making Papaland usual gadget is - as we choose (it) so it must be equipped with insane amount of heatsinks , VA and mF in PSU , it's so costly so we must go to cheapest route regarding electrical scheme ; fewest number of active parts , resistors and small caps

Don't forget that many of the designs are so simple "a caveman can build them." 🙂

Before you know it, the bug will have bit
, curiosity will get the better of you and you will be building your first Pass project.
But remember, once heard, there is no going back
