I didn't realize you were a soldering fool too Grahame! I'm also building a beta22 that will likely be a speaker amp too

I have a bit of a problem I was testing out a couple different connectors, and I think I managed to bridge ground and the - output of one channel (balanced amp). The sinks on the - board for that channel aren't getting warm now. Is it possible I just killed a couple of parts on the board, or am I going to have to put together a whole new one?

-edit- just took a closer look...R34 is burnt up, so is it possible that's the only part that bit it?

quickie update to anyone that was interested/cared. finally got all 4 b22 boards populated, my s22 populated and wired up/ mounted. and just actually currently sitting here with a file doing some of my panel components. im working on the square hole for the power entry currently. ugh. not fun. quick 2 side questions ive got. currently ive got 2 blue LEDs per board. im mounting this all in a big par metal case which has a vented top. u guys think i would get enough light simply spilling from the vents (seeing that there are 10 something LEDs inside) that i wouldnt need a power LED front and center on the front panel? might try and go for a simplistic looking front panel and just cut it out if its deemed unecessary. also, hmm, for case feet, anyone know of a good place to order? the type i have in mind are (gunna do my best to describe) low and cylindrical. basically like flat circles, maybe 1cm or so high, usually either in chrome or black? thx guys and gl with all of YOUR b22 builds. im gunna need it for the nastiness of wiring and biasing - the part where all my inexeprience will undoubtedly come back to bite me

MrMajestic2 and Grahame: Where are you getting your E22 boards, as I am pretty sure AMB's stock has been out for some time? Were you in on n_maher's group buy for the 1.1 version?

If so, I'm jealous as I missed that one by mere days... that's what I get for going on vacation

Dude, you need to use paragraphs and proper writing conventions. No one wants to read that.

Im not getting a E22 board. Im most likely building the four-board balanced version, so its of no use to me.

currently ive got 2 blue LEDs per board. im mounting this all in a big par metal case which has a vented top. u guys think i would get enough light simply spilling from the vents (seeing that there are 10 something LEDs inside) that i wouldnt need a power LED front and center on the front panel? might try and go for a simplistic looking front panel and just cut it out if its deemed unecessary.

also, hmm, for case feet, anyone know of a good place to order? the type i have in mind are (gunna do my best to describe) low and cylindrical. basically like flat circles, maybe 1cm or so high, usually either in chrome or black?

You'll get quite a bit of light out of all those blue LED's, it would probably serve as enough of a reminder that the amp is on without having a front panel LED.

Can't say I've seen the feet that you're looking for but feet seem like knobs to me, the good places to buy them are few and far between.

The Cary feet (as seen here: http://caryaudio.com/graphics/produc..._front_800.jpg ) can be purchased from http://www.audioelectronicsupply.com...m=FOOT_LRG_BSS

YES misterx. exactly liek those. where to get em? lol, tease! those cary feet look ok too, given that my case is black they would probably do the job and look quite inconspicuous. although...if misterx lets me know where those ones can be found i may just holdout for those
