WTB: PDaniel Aleph J pcb

[koja]

just checking if there are still some of those out there collecting dust.

Recently started thinking of making (mini) AlephJ in a smaller footprint pcb.
drop me a pm if you have some. Thx.

@Dave: Peter made them all to the same format: size 2.35 x 3.35 inches. here is an example of his F4 boards I used in BA3b. AlephJ pcbs should look similar. I believe they were also blue.

It appears twitchie may have a set of boards for you. If not, let me know -- I found a set.

Regards,

FWIW, Scott has 2 sets which can be used to build two stereo AJ's or one stereo AJ-X.

I checked. I have Aleph X boards, want to keep those.

Thank you all gents. I appreciate you checking into your stash.
I am currently waiting for Stephen (twitchie) to mail me a pair.
@Scott: if you do not mind just holding onto one pair for me for a little while as a back up. Thx a lot!

Enjoy your project. It's possible that at some point I'll build a SE Aleph J, but unlikely I'll want two or an AJ-X. So, there's at least one set available in the ether...

Regards.

I believe the beauty is in the original (nonX) version as far as the distortion pattern goes. I used Aleph30 before (non-Jfet version with higher gain) and still remember the warm midrange. The bass control was sloppy though (not Aleph's strong suit). I am thinking now of making an AlephJ with Semisouth jfets which apparently should be getting close to J2 (with mainly the Aleph CCS vs classic Mu follower difference in the OS). The end game is pairing the amp with the right speaker (again horses for races 😉).
