here is some other stuff i've done lately if you're interested

Greets, Ron

Wow, that's beautiful, Ron! I love seeing silver anodized aluminum combined with light wood. It's like a cousin to walnut combined with black aluminum.

Very very nice looking.

Right after I saw the tread at DIY forum regarding this amp, the DIY bug kicked in.
Well, I already got some parts to spare... so, here it is.

Quick inside shot.





TRs I used are 2N3906 and 2N3904 instead of BC337 and BC327.
Why? They are all i got in my drawer.

If you want to see the bottom.



Then, I put it in the can, mounted switch and things.



And this is how the amp looks like when everything is done.



How do you think?

I think that is one of the best looking mint-tins I have seen on this board

Mine's still a work in progress...How did you all mount the circuit into the enclosures? Hot glue?

[ronstah]

thank you for your replies! glad you like my work
amp also sounds gooooood

Attack of the saturation slider, Seaside!
It looks like a great amp, compact too

[hoosterw]

Seaside, that is one hell of an outstanding design. Really an eye teaser/candy.
Really like it .

Didn't have the right pics., sry.

Seaside, that looks like a great Sijosae Class-AB amp, very clean build, congrats!

[Seaside]

Ace, I did not glue circuit at the case.
I placed thin sheet of clear plastic in the bottom of the can for insulation. I used solid 24aug LAN wire, so the circuit is kinda stay there without any glue.

mb3k, I would rather say it little 'calibration'. The orignal pics were not bad tho, they had yelloish hue that I hate. And that should be taken care of. I thought little sharper image will not harm anything, ain't it?.

hoosterw, and FallenAngel, thanks for the warm words.

***

It runs 10+ hours with 9V 230mA rechargable battery (as you seen at the pic). I am sure it will run longer than that with alkaraine battery. That makes it pretty usable portable amp.

[Ace o' Spades]

Thats interesting...I would think that the battery inside would eventually move the circuit out of place if moved.

Anyways, very, very clean design. Wasn't it a pain in the ass to drill into a round case like that?
