well .... reasons for this thread are obvious ;
feel free to write anything , except questions how to improve your F5 ;
please don't rant about lazy greenhorns , not willing to read numerous anaconda F5 threads .
hey - you can even write here why you don't have any F5 ( even if you build one )
( and if some lazy greenhorn shows here , asking how to bias bloody thing , I'll shoot him , personally )

I don't have an F5. 🙂
I'm still playing with simpler designs... hoping to graduate to F5 one day.

Is this acceptable

Dam! you beat me to the punch!

I just bought a pair of 15k:90k input transformers to put in front of a power buffer. MF4?
ps. gilles peterson's stuff on soundcloud is good work moozak.

naah
not good enough
it will give just 7.8db of gain
not worth hassle with iron ;
if you can squeeze more gain ..... then I vote for Iron or Dust
btw - why Musical Fidelity 4 ?

( agree for muzak)
Hey Zen, how do you bias an F5?Oops

these dayz I'm driving

no need for sissy fancy amps

( don't tell Papa that F5 is so elegant , that it almost hurts )
Preamp question ? question???
What does balanced and single ended output and has single ended Imput.
To work whith an amplifier that I can't remember I am building right now.
missed 
Can one mention on this tread how fed up he gets with posting on other treads because of same members and Co.
Houch!!!

just use that wheelchairs to drive around them

Pumpking look good then ?
Can I still get the A packagge as for tread (think it started in 2007)
Or can you be a bit more specific and name names (of the preamps).

X CCS CCS loaded BOZOS ( or BOSOZ )
UGS line stage
there are numerous balanced line stages around
Pumpkin is certainly wakoo-est , especially because of Shunty ...... but I'm biased

so, why is it that big production companies, like marantz, and krell, build amplifiers like they do, if designs as simple as pass', will give better quality? with less parts? and i'm assuming cheaper to build?
Pass is having fun , while making money ;
they lack that most important part - having fun
so - their amps are less fun
simple , isn't it ?

( if you make proper analysis , you'll see that tiny parts are just small part of price of amp ..... so - small or double small - difference is negligible )

Their marketing depts will never allow them to make an amp with 0.1% distortion. On the spec sheet comparison you'd be one tick down on Sony which equates to 10,000 potential sales😉
But seriously, Zenmod is right, they just don't know how to have fun🙂
For the record I don't have an F5..... yet
OK nevermind the bias then, but what's the other trimpot for?😕...and if some lazy greenhorn shows here , asking how to bias bloody thing,...
