    Balanced Power!

    For my B24 build I built a soft start circuit by having a solid state relay (the same 40A one in the BOM) shorting out a 25 watt 30ohm resistor. I used a 556 timer from radio shack and wired one timer as monstable that triggered when the power supply goes on and the second timer as an inverting...

    Do DIY sound as good as Commercial Amps?

    Quote: Originally Posted by TwinFinnley Thanks for the suggestions; any thoughts on the b22 kits? I know its a bit more involved than some of the other projects, but I don't mind. I just finished a B24 (which is the 200 watt big brother of the B22) and have built a few other AMB...

    Twisted Pear Buffalo Sabre DAC

    Sorry for the post earlier. It turns out I had the switch reversed on my B24 build which I just finished. It took me four hours to figure out that all I had to do was flip the switch to unbalanced. Needless to say it all works now. So far I am not all that impressed though I am using the volume...

    Twisted Pear Buffalo Sabre DAC

    Ok I know this is a stupid question. I finished my B24 a few days ago and so I promised my friends a party where I could show off my sound system. Anyway I am having a little problem with the Buffalo32. Specifically I am not getting a lock on anything. I am feeding it via a TP USB reciver via...

    β24: A discrete, cascoded, fully-differential power amplifier

    Another B24 lives! It took me almost exactly a year (high school interfered during the winter) After many mistakes, and alot of help from AMB my amp finally works! Picasa Web Albums - Gregory - B24 I have yet to listen to it with a good pair of speakers yet (the veneer is still drying on those)...

    Installing LED/Analog Vu Meter to Front Panel

    I know this is a bit off topic but I was wondering where zkool448 sourced those feet? I have been looking all over for some like those at a reasonable price.

    β24: A discrete, cascoded, fully-differential power amplifier

    Someone on another thread asked for details on my uncompleted B24 build so here they are. I have finished one channel so far and tested it with a very poor pair of old speakers. I am not really sure how it sounds beyond the fact that it obviously has tons of power (more than I will ever need)...

    What preamps do you use for non-headphone applications?

    I am working on a RelaiXed http://http://jos.vaneijndhoven.net/relaixed/index.html It features a gain of about 3X and has 3 balanced and switched inputs. I liked the design because it has a relay resistor attenuator and relay source switcher, a IR reciever, and a gainstage/powersupply all on the...

    Installing LED/Analog Vu Meter to Front Panel

    I would love a DIY version of the VU meters that are on the front of McIntosh amps. We dont have that many nice stores in Alaska so I heard/saw a McIntosh for the first time today. I think one of those VU meters would look really good on the front of my AMB B24.

    Digital displays on σ22 and β22 - how hard?

    There was a large VU meter that was posted as a project on sparkfun a while back that you might be able to refer to. They used a display that is probably alot larger than what you would want but it might give you some ideas. If you are at all interested in diy electronics spark fun is a really...

    Twisted Pear Buffalo Sabre DAC

    I got mine too, and my wallet is significantly lighter now. I sent the FPE work in 2 days ago in anticipation. I am curious to see how it compares to my single Opus. One DAC will go in my home stero system the other one will come with me when I head off to college in the fall for my headphone...
