I am a bit late here but I think based on 0940’s prior posts the TVS should have a working voltage slightly above supply rail voltage. For my setup that is around 40V. The part mentioned above seems to have a working voltage that is far too high at 94V. I use a P6KE47CA (40.2V). I believe the purpose of this TVS is to protect the MOSFETs from voltage spikes.

D5, the TVS diode, needs to be bi-directional so the part number should end in CA. I believe the voltage for the part you have specified is too high at 171V. You want something with a working voltage slightly above the rail voltage. I am using a P6KE47CA (40.2V).
Hello folks. I have finished the Amp recently, but I have a bit of a trouble finding the right input Pot.
I have tried 10k and 100k log pots, but with both the volume gain wasn´t very linear. In fact I am getting about 95 percent of volume gain in first 1/4 of rotation of the pot. And the rest, so about 3/4 quarter of rotation brings almost zero Volume gain.
Am I using the wrong pot? so should I use linear instead of logarithmic? Or am I using wrong resistance?
Thanks,
Adam

You connected it in the wrong direction or ignored ground.
Signal in to the left or right, signal out to amp in the middle and ground to the left over connector.
Quite simple. If it works as you described, change right and left.
100k should work better, as you don't use a buffer on the input. 10k can be too much load for a weak input signal. I would have choosen 50k or none at all.

Thanks a lot for your Answer.
I am pretty sure I have connected it as you described. I have tied the ground(left) pins of the pot and both in and out grounds all together. Could this be a problem?
I could try 50k, I have it on hand, but I don't want to be rotating pots, before I know , I am not doing some basic mistake.

i just finished soldering, but too much hum occured, so what should i do to get rid off this.
Hello guys,
probably a stupid question, but I am building a second pair of these modules and I was short on 09-c12 470uf Caps. For some reason Mouser sent me a different type caps - HW(m) instead of HE(m). Both are the same values(cpacity, temp, voltage) as far as I can see, it´s only the size is a bit different.
is it ok to mix these together? for example put two of each on each module. could there be any problem with this?
I don´t want to order these again. it´s too much of a hassle.
Thanks a lot,
