Thats just the power supply. The amp is in another box.

Many parts have not come in yet. Especially the amphenol umbilical
connectors and the techflex. WBT chassis mount connectors not
here yet either.

Wait till you see the blue laser diode that will be used to light the
glass power button. Very retro.

I didn't know blue laser diodes were available, especially usable ones. How did you get your hands on one?!

Is that reddish rectangular cap a Wima MKP10? I was thinking about replacing the ones I have on the board now with one of those just for the sake of emptying my wallet a bit more.

 

[sft]

It's WIMA MKS4.

Hi! Kevin,

I can't decide which version is "better" for dynomite(or dynamite; dynamight

)

1)similar to Headwize project
2)four all the same amp ckt. (I've XLR source)

Can you give me any suggesion?

Thanks in advance.

 

[kevin gilmore]

Since i have an all balanced system, i'm building #2.

 

[TrevorNetwork]

A bit OT, but does anyone have any impressions of this amplifier versus a (maxed) PPA?

 

[hadron]

Not the best photo, being on the bench, but now that I finally got the transformer this project is coming together nicely...

On the top is the unregulated stage of the power supply (the part outside the box in my schematic), fits perfectly on a RadioShack 4-1/2 x 6" perfboard. The bottom shows the breadboarded positive leg of the GDJ reg, this hasn't been plugged in yet, just showing it for a sense of size. Will test as time permits.

Now those are a pair of real angle brackets

 

[rsaavedra]

Man those brackets are so big, they *are* heatsinks themselves

Mine are in transit, Condors and some parts have arrived from Mouser and Digikey already. Haven't started though, most likely this coming weekend.

Kevin btw, you know I got charged taxes for the condor supplies from AlliedElec, even though I ordered them online. Is this normal? I have called them and it seems they have to charge taxes unless I'm going to resell them charging taxes myself. In any case, this is the first time I purchase anything online and I get charged taxes for it.

 

[gastro54]

That's strange about the taxes... You would only be charged if the seller is in the same state as you. (I don't even think FL has retail taxes)

Btw the package wasn't even shipped from FL, came from TX.

If Allied has any operations in your state (which I am sure they do, sales office, etc.) you have to pay taxes. I believe that is the general rule, but am sure I will be corrected if it is not

 

[TrevorNetwork]

Where did you get those brackets? Are they compatible with the HS-TWS heatsinks?

Also,

Which is the better PSU; Condor or PowerOne?
