Aleph 3? Project.

Received some pcb's today from ebay. Aleph 3 is printed on it.
The pcb's have a goldplated copper thickness of 75um (pcb is 2mm)

My question is, is it a aleph 3? And is it any good in this form?
And, are there mods is can do directly.

Posted a picture of the pcb and the parts list and schematic that came with it.

No, the top two are one pair and the bottom two are another.

The two pairs can be different.

This is only to ensure that each one of the pair shares the load current with its pair.

When my Aleph 4 was built it took over 50 MOS-FETs to get the 4 x 6 matched sextets.

Other words, not so good?

Nothing wrong with Chinese boards, although I like to use U.S. sources
(costs a little more) and spec heavy copper. (heavy copper for obvious
high current, but mostly easier to re-solder when replacing components)

Nothing wrong with KK's schematic, although it is not identical to original.

I will post a thread on the latest thinking about this circuit in a day or less.

:cool:
 
Guys the boards came with following power supply.
Zen Mod helped me a lot with choosing the right chokes (thanks again! ) got a question about the voltage for the aleph 3.
On the aleph3 schematic it says it needs 25vdc . The power supply schematic shows a 21v ac (secundaries) transformer. After rectification it would be 29.6v dc. does a psu have a voltage drop of about 4v when using chokes etc? Or do i need a other transformer.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
