Simple SE Sit Amp

I believe it’a going to be a raffle

I've heard a few people reference this, but has Nelson or anyone from the diyaudiostore said that it will be?

 

[codyt]

Yes

 

[codyt]

but who knows for sure until it’s ‘in print’

That would certainly seem fair to some extent, given the limited quantity. You must have the insider track, as yeah, I hadn't seen that written anywhere

Anyways, I shall continue to wait with baited breath!

 

[codyt]

I think it was in Pico’s chassis thread that Jason commented on this (I have no insider knowledge). But one can never be sure until there’s a formal announcement. I’m right there with you on the anticipation

 

[gary s]

I am sure Jason, will be making a grand announcement re this project in all forms and will be making it all as fair as possible for everyone who might want to build this masterpiece, to participate.

 

[codyt]

For sure - I know they’ve all put a lot of thought into it. Gonna be great!

 

[Indigent Audio]

The chassis is great (mighty mouse, 10x12x7.5?)...very exciting, let’s hope the raffle doesn’t look like the California lotto.

Zen Mod will post the schematic soon

I thought you meant the motorcycle for a moment and got excited. [emoji846]

This new amp looks amazing. An insane amount of work must have gone on in the background.

 

[tombo56]

Oh, we are posting teaser photos today? Neat!!

Oh, you are stirring the pot!

I admit that I have cooled off, after two years of waiting, but this again sets fire burning right under my ar*e.

 

[Dennis Hui]

It's a very nice chassis. I hope the chassis will be available separately, for those
who aren't lucky enough to get the kit.

Get on the forge you lazy ***!

I started this thread 6 months ago asking about this circuite a circuite I believe Nelson said might be adapted to almost any SIT we could find. When did it change to talking about the admittedly very fine Sony kits ?

I do believe that Mr Pass himself is responsible for that with the post #3 of this thread!

As usual ZM is tuned into my subconscious.

Just because he loves it so much, the Edcor 600:15K is the
voltage gain stage for very-soon-to-be-released DIY Sony VFET
amplifier.

Listening done, Curves run, part list printed out.

Machinists are carving heat sink metal as we sit here, and final artwork
is ready to go out the door for quick turn-around.

I tried to make it more complicated and obscure, but it's just not in me.

The first offering will be 200 channels using P chan VFET and then 200
of N channel.

Those out there with VFETs already will be able to get kits without that
part.

I always pictured you as a cutlass guy

 

[woody]

Well I will be. Looking at the picture I assumed that was a different amp I couldn't spot the voltage gain transformer.

 

[Mark Johnson]

Nelson Pass's about-to-be-revealed DIY VFET amp has two PCBs per channel. Only one of the two PCBs has been photographed and publicly posted, the one with TO-3 mounted power transistors. That PCB does not include a "voltage gain transformer" and indeed zero transformers are visible in the photo. What the other PCB does or does not contain, has not been disclosed (to my knowledge).

Fortunately you won't have to wait long before all is revealed.

*another DIY amp with two PCBs per channel is the M2x, found in the diyAudio Store.

It's funny that you don't remember this picture:
