thanks. yes, pure BOM. I often deviate from the bom but in this case I went pretty much by the book

on a very very tight board, you really want to try to get the right parts.

and when the 'right parts' are SO classy like this one is.... JUST GO BY THE BOM.

you will LOVE that green/red switch. its the cutest thing (LOL). not cheap but you aren't buying lots of them so splurge a little

...and if you time your spdif sources right, you can make the switch blink red and green just in time for st. nick!

Colbalt - you're a real put down merchant arn't you, the "master" is brilliant but if you take the time to compare my board is smaller. by a good margin

It was not meant as a put down on your work - it is a very nice board. However, when you make small boards it will inspire comparisons to Sijosae's work as small through-hole work was something he seems to have done a lot of.

My second YAHA using recycled/leftover parts, and intended to be a portable

I still have to finish casing it in the tin cigarette box you see in the background, and the LED is still missing (the white wire that goes towards the batteries is for the LED, nothing to do with the batteries).

I don't have a clear idea yet how to fix the batteries so they don't bounce inside, space is really really tight and the box opens only from the top. Any suggestions?

my hammond box arrived and this is the gamma1 dac inside the box (no custom bezels yet - just held in place by the factory bezel frames)

I find it's handy to have an adjustable DC power supply around. So I made this Tread with socketed R1 and R2. With this setup I can easily get any voltage between 12V and 35V using tangents resistor table (taped to the top of the case with the extra resistors.
I also added a header so I can connect wires directly if that is more convenient.

That is a top idea.

Thanks.
I wanted to mention that since I'm using a 24V ac wall wart I can only get about 32V max.
Also, I can get voltages as low as about 2V.
So it is very handy.

...now for the dreaded case work

Here she is naked

Mundorf ZN bypassers for Blackgate Standards. I know many will disagree with that combo but it sounds very very nice with 12AE6A's (12FK6's sounded a lot better on the classic Millett)

nice and clean.

I like the drive vibration grommets (blue) for isolation of hum

I wish I could do casework that neat.....looks fantastic.

The YAHA looks very interesting, but I still can't read schematic properly yet.......Might look into it.

What sort of case is that ?

Can it handle the weight of all that iron ?

It's a Hammond steel chassis and yes, it can handle the weight. You'll notice that all of the iron is located on the perimeter where the chassis has the most stiffness, it would have been a very bad idea to locate any of it out in the middle. That said it is a boat anchor and probably weighs the better part of 40 to 50lbs, just the way I like it.

Just wanted to show off one of the first cased MiniMAX amps.
