Well, even the pirated bds pay tribute to cavelli and his audio genius.

Hey FA
Did you have to add heatsinks to the regulators on the amp once you installed the jisbos? I am thinking it will cause them to work harder once I install JISBOS .

I didn't install heatsinks, just make sure you're using 15V TO-220 regulators. You may add small heatsinks if you like, but I didn't find it necessary.

 

[headphonejunkie]

I will double check those. Its been a while since I have built this.

Good advice. You should have plenty of voltage after the bridges to allow the regs to be 15V. That will give you more voltage swing through the JISBOS and at the same time, it means the regs will run cooler. IOW, you get a two-fer.

Thanks for your input tomb.
Now I want to get some half way decent wire to wire these up.
Any suggestions?

 

[FallenAngel]

Anything really.

 

[headphonejunkie]

so, you don't believe wire will affect sound quality?

 

[FallenAngel]

Really not getting into that discussion
 
I like fancy wire, but anything will work.

 

[headphonejunkie]

True. This can open a big can of worms.

I use nothing but navshipps, John's Wire Shop on ebay - 22ga, SPC teflon insulated multi-strand. It has nothing to do with how it may "sound," either.

 

[FallenAngel]

navships is awesome

Handmade sells Belden 8300XX by the foot.

They also have pretty nice solid silver wire but you have to buy the insulation separate.

Thanks Tomb and mister
 
The wire shop looks interesting and fairly cheap.

I don't see navshipps. I see PTFE wire but none labeled navshipps
