Hello Prasi,

I finally recover my last PCB (my Lenovo AIO did not work anymore, but the hard disk is OK ?) and corrected the errors found by snapper

I also added a jumper to use the negative input for the feedback or a differential input version...

I am also working on some cosmetic change.

Cheers,
Marc

Let’s not forget the TENA amplifier that Marc did not build (see post #826) Perhaps it could be a memorial to him.

That would be a great way to remember him and his apport to the forum on a dedicated thread, IMO. Is there any further information on that project?

Very sad news. RIP Marc.

Not to dismiss this loss, but I’ve seen a lot of talk about the relay and wondered if there is a consensus on a sensible one? I’m starting to collect parts and need to put in a fairly large order to Mouser.

Yes that's a real sad thing about Marc, such a loss.

As for the relay. I looked for one as well when I built mine, could not find anything I was satisfied with, so installed the specified one from the parts list. I fully expected it to fail, if not quickly at least over time.

Almost a year later, I use my amp almost every day as it's in a workout room that we use all the time. It gets fires up almost every day, some times two or three times per day.

I'm glad to say I have not had any problems with the relay! Not to say that it will last forever, it could go next time I turn it on. But I have been surprise so far at how flawlessly it has worked.

Maybe Marc knew something we don't know. He actually knew a lot I don't know, but that's a different story. RIP

I preferred to play it safe and I mounted a high voltage relay adapted from Te Connectivity ref: 2-1904058-7 but you have to replace the 2n3906 transistor for a more powerful one like the BD140

Rest in peace.

Well I just tried the modification with the BD140 transistor and it works perfectly to drive the relay. More than to mount the transistor on a small radiator
