Hi @rhthatcher, I'm interested in two boards for a set of ACA monoblocks. If you could send me a PM, I'm new here as well...thanks!

 

[Eddie18]

Thanks Eddie, that sounds good. Are you able to send me a PM at this point?

Hi - about to buy a DIY ACA kit. Plan to run two smps 24v PS. I’d like to buy two of the RH designed filter kit boards. R or Eddie do you have any availability? Thanks!

I have boards for one power supply per chassis. If you’re running 2 bricks for a chassis I’m out of those.

 

[JKiriakis]

Thanks rh. Yes I need to run two bricks for one chassis.

Anyone have these?

 

[rhthatcher]

If no one has them you can go through the old posts and get gerber files for that board. Then upload the zip file to a PCB fab house for an order.

Would like to buy boards for one power supply per chassis. I'm new so can't PM you. May I email you?

 

[rhthatcher]

@JKiriakis - I sent you a PM with my email address.

 

[JKiriakis]

Solid copy, sent you email Randy. Regards,

I'm posting the gerber files plus the build docs I sent with the group buy shipments. If you've never made a run of PCB's before, you can compare pricing at:
https://pcbshopper.com/Out of habit, I end up going for https://jlcpcb.com/ every time. With DHL shipping it's typically about 10 days from submittal of order to arrive at my house.

Chances are you'll end up extra boards. For example, you'll need 1 or 2, but you may need to make a minimum run of 5 or 10 boards. Please offer up the extras to other users. I'm reasonably sure you'll sell them off in short order.

There are 2 types of boards. Make note of which one before you run the boards.
The standard board for a single SMPS brick (98% of builds?) - Filename: RT ACA PSU Filter PCB Gerbers.zip (this post)
Dual SMPS version (2% of builds?) - Filename: RT ACA Dual SMPS Filter PCB Gerbers.zip (next Post)

The good news is that if you make a run of the Dual SMPS boards by mistake, you can turn it into a standard board with a few scraps of wire for jumpers. Going the other way is not so simple...

Enjoy! Happy building!

Randy -

I'm a happy new user of your single SMPS RT ACA PSU Filter board with my newly running amp as of yesterday.

Question: if I wanted to run a second brick in this stereo amp, may I build another complete single filter board (I ordered two from you originally) and run one each as is per each brick, and simply leave one V+ to amp on each filter board detached? I ask noting your post above where you said 'Going the other way is not so simple'

Thanks in advance,

Jim

@rhthatcher picked up another ACA for monoblock operation and was wondering if you have any single supply PCB’s?

 

[rhthatcher]

PM sent. Short answer is - Yes, I have some boards

 

[G Powers]

If you still have bare boards, I would be very interested.

If you still have bare boards, I'm interested.

Hi Randy,
Sent a PM inquiring about dual smps board availability or single board availability, both with parts included.
Regards,
MM

 

[rhthatcher]

Have those boards. Nor do I have parts. the board gerbers are somewhere in the thread

 

[Kokanee]

Confusing what you responded with:

Have those boards.

Have you any boards? I will use the gerber's if you are out of boards.
Thanks,
Myles

Oops. I did voice to text while stopped on a road trip. I don’t have the boards or parts. Grab the gerbers.
