Nice ZM.
What are the red and white banana plugs on the backplate?
Relay turn on/off?


yup , remote (anything between 12 to 35Vdc) power on/off

Very nice soundmachines! Babelicious!
:Pumpkin: Pumpkinicious!

Greets
Dirk

tnx :)

today I have a bad day, I do not understand anything about what is running here, what is the Zen-Mod scheme?

whenever you read "Babelfish" , that means Mighty ZM's unnecessary complicated iteration of Papamp ......... in this case of J2 , so it must stay secret ......... but still perfectly good for Mighty ZM's showing off

still beating the same bush (not that one , Singing , other one ) ........

of course that Furutech are convenient in several aspects , when looking from perspective of manufacturer

but , when looking from perspective of Cheapskate Greedy Boy ....... I can buy more than 50 pairs of these (SH of course) , for one pair of Furutechs

which one will sound better - who cares , I have green trice around my head , just thinking of it ...... and imagine them , fresh from ultrasound bath

DIY Sony VFET part 2

Pics from diy vfet part 2-build.

Separate PSU with 4-pole speakons and shielded powercord for umbilical. Most parts (except polish trafo) in PSU from dismantled fluoroscopy lab called Ignalina (because of amount of Blinkenlights, making everyone feel like Homer Simpson).

All ordinary in amplifier-case. Heat sinks are spares parts from hifi2000 (about the most economical I found in small quantities). PSU-boards from Tea-bag.

Sound is great=) Thanks for this nice amplifier!

Zennie. I also try to purchase el cheapo binding posts. At a price that seems sensible and at what it should cost (in my opinion).
Use the money where it counts, active devices, power supplies.
But the it sneaks in. The thought planted in you brain by advertisements and reviewers. Could it have been even better with the e.g. Furutech binding post? (Or the holy grounding devices of Nordost?)
Well, my stand is, of course, use your money on V-FETs and music.
Or to rewrite footballer George Best: “I used my money on V-FETs, music and wine. And the rest I wasted.”

well .... I always prefer properly Nickel-ed to lousy Goldies

not to mention properly Silver-ed , as these oldie Hirschmann are

should I ever pay - for my own use - connector more than ultrarare active part ?

no Bubba .......

always willing to pay for quality , even greater level than I really need it , but never for baloney
 
Nice construction, torb! Depending on heat production, you might need to make the holes in the bottom of your chassis larger. My first amp (a40) has an entirely wooden chassis and I perforated the bottom with holes that ultimately needed to be made larger so air would actually flow. I also had to put a spacer under the top lid for more airflow.

Are those speakers a Troels Graveson quarter wave design?
