Is is really easy to work with. The easiest way to do it (my first BZLS, and the way I do most amps) is to use a Veroboard or similar, amd connect the components directly to each other. Some places it is useful to have a little of the tinned Cu wire linked above. Here you can see the method implemented in my Aleph 30:

You don't really need this kind of wire though, you can just use some normal wire.

Sorry, maybe my question was a little bit unprecise:
I HAVE that device at home and it is very easy to work with because the wire is insulated and while soldering the insulation melts automatically.
The only point could be, that the diameter of the wire is too small.
any suggestions?

use it for the signal parts of the circuit, and double or triple it if you think it's not heavy enough for the power parts of the curcuit then.

just for my understanding:
when i use an unbalanced CD Player I have to plug in the Cable on + and GND? What do I have to do with "-"?

That's correct. You ground the unused "-" input.
I strongly suggest that you read the http://www.passdiy.com/pdf/balzenpre.pdf
very carefully a few times. It's a lot of info, and it takes some read-throughs to get it all. Aslo do some searches on the forum with words like "zen linestage", BZLS, balzenpre etc. Most of the issues have been covered before....
Keep in mind that with a single input if you want exactly
the same output level on both polarities with BOSOZ,
then you want to current source the transistors from
the negative voltage rail with a real current source,
not just resistors.
On the other hand, the Aleph 5 doesn't care at all, so it
is adequate to simply ground the (-) input.
This only gets imprtant when you are using BOSOZ balanced
output to bridge a pair of amplifiers.

I have a CD player connected unbalanced to BOSOZ and then connected balanced to Aleph 2. I find that it doesn't make any difference whether the -ve input is grounded or not. What about you guys?
BOSOZ is a diff amp having the transistor sources connected between two channels. Therefore, the unbalanced input might affect CMRR and the symmetry of output swings. Meanwhile, Aleph 2 is stereo amp of two mono blocks. The balanced input makes the higher input impedance while the unbalanced input the lower input impedance. This is all I know on surface. Anything else...? I dunno.

Please re-read the above as follows:BOSOZ is a diff amp having the transistor (gain device) sources connected between two sides. Therefore, the unbalanced input might affect CMRR and the symmetry of output swings. Meanwhile, Aleph 2 is stereo amp of two mono blocks. The balanced input makes the higher input impedance while the unbalanced input the lower input impedance. This is all I know on surface. Anything else...? I dunno.
