Hi Everyone, I've done some searching on the threads but can't find anything relating to this.
I'm interested in building my own solid state amp from a kit (I don't have the experience to design complex circuits yet). I was having a look on EBay and noticed this kit CLONE Musical Fidelity X-A50 Mono Power amplifier board | eBay
Having heard these amps before with the matching pre-amp I was won over but they were out of my price range.
The only questions I have are;
What else would I need, other than a transformer and mounting chassis?
Also where would I source a 150w transformer from, been looking at RS, Maplin and CPC. Would there need to be a circuit design for a power supply?
Any help appreciated thankyou

If no one has had any experience with these kits, could someone point me in the direction of a mono block design with a parts list or maybe a stereo amp that you could build with a tag board to start with
I'd like to go down the mono block route though, and not with a crazy 300w per block lol just something like a 50-100w design

Good source of transformers:

Thank you for the replies, after having a look at the pictures you provided ljm_ljm I think I will give it a try, struggleing to find a 24v-0-24v 100a toroidal transformer though.
LJM_LJM do you have the matching pre-amplifier?

X-A50 is not need the preamp.
It has a higher voltage gain, about 34.
You can use any audio source directly use.
LJM, if you use any audio source directly, then how do you control the volume? Won't it constantly be at maximum? Every pair of X-A50s I have seen all use a pre-amplifier.
