The output devices on the Dynahi aren't that happy with driving speaker loads. The Beta22 mosfet output stage might suit you better but really none of these amps are that well suited for speakers. If you want a simple speaker amp you could whip up a Pass F-something.

Check out DIYA for nice speaker amp designs. I too have a speaker amp in my battleplan for this year.

I'm building it to use as a headphone amp, but since it's so easy to add speaker terminals, I'm more like "Why not?".


Not looking to drive any inefficient monsters, more like something in the 95-100 dB/W-range. Eventually...

Boards = 70% fully stuffed.
Damn it's like 300 times easier soldering these boards than O2..
 
Have no idea how 6 x 470 uF 35 V turned into 3 x 470 uF 63 V... And some other weird stuff. The BOM I used must have been very inaccurate versus the new boards...
 
or ... I must lay off smoking crack.
 
Waiting for some SAND to come in from the US...
 
Pics soon.

Looking good Val.  Still missing a few parts?

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Thx Chris!
 
Yeah... Inevitably... No matter how hard I tried to follow the BOM I forgot some:
 
 
Electrolytics 3 big and 3 small on the DynaPSU x 2
2 different bridge rectifiers on the DynaPSU x 2
All the heatsinked-SAND on the DynaHi x 2 (awaiting a bdent order currently residing at fellow american for reshipping)
4 x 10 kOhm trim pots x 2 on the DynaHi x 2
Film cap (WIMA) on the DynaHi x 2
 
And I need to figure out what 20 KLO and KDT are... Dual Tracking? I thought they were resistors and stuffed wrong...
 
----
 
KGSSHV is almost complete.
 
Amp boards: Awaiting some heatsinked and non-heatsinked SAND from bdent (for reshipping)
PSU: Missing two resistors 15k and 747k (or something like that) one of each per PSU
 
----
 
And some OP-amp sockets, LM1021 x 4
 
...
 
 
In other words. Either the boards got updated after I ordered or I'm losing my mind.
 
(Can't chat later, at work until 22:00)
 
Cheers,
V

your choice of local feedback for each power supply or dual tracking. use one or the
other, not both. at this point, I don't remember which set of parts go with which.

too many designs, so little time.

in purgatory till may 17. but probably till june 6.

I hate black tie an tux events.

Hi Kevin!
 
Thx for your reply. Would you mind explaining the above. I'm not that experienced (yet) regarding feedback circuits and similar stuff.
 
Would it be a trim-pot that should be used in those places. And only choose one of the two?
 
Last but not least. What would you think about stacking the boards above each other with long 5.5 mm screws in a 5U-case?
