going to have to buy one, have not figured out which one yet, then test.

i did a uberamp with a smps, it was fine.

i have a couple of lambda smps that i use for testing, absolutely dead quiet.

Some progress with Tube Hybrid(something).

PSU; left – Board with filament transformer and transformer for GRHV style regulator (+100V). To the right is Connex SMPS, put it in top of the first board and you have PSU with 6.3VAC, +100VDC and +/-30VDC.

Amplifier board with a tube daughter board. The required -5V is done on the amplifier board with a smd 7905 and a few capacitors.

Will it work? Who knows?

Would using a 2nd board (like the split boards) for the transistors below the main board bring anything? It will keep the two transistor rows closer to each other thus reducing the height of the heatsinks.

its already a split board. the power resistors make it impossible to shrink.

joamat may come up with a solution but i doubt it.

but you can download some free layout software and try to come up with something smaller.

My impression is that this is intended to be a Muscle CFA3. You probably want 3U – at least. :D  No V12 engine in a Volkswagen Beetle.

Agree. And a proper 1KVA toroid needed in the middle of the case as well with some 120,000 of caps.

nope, going to need two boxes. no easy way to stack the front end board onto the heatsinks. the 2 boards will take up much of the bottom.

zero feedback generally ends up with a lower damping factor. so to boost the damping factor need more output transistors in parallel. and the sanken parts are actually 2 die in each package. and are to3p. i could go to 3 or 4 pairs of output transistors for even lower output impedance.

the idea is to drive jbl m2's with the amplification they deserve. not a pair of crown industrial amps.

and things like the susvara.
