Spot the hefty transformer. ?

Thanks for the update Wiz.
Looks great ?

Any plans for a pre-amp or are you enjoying keeping it nice and simple.

Won't be using a preamp. Line output from CD player or iPod is high enough. Besides. This sounds so good I don't want to mess with it

Cool ?

Missed this thread, it's a great sound amp, building one for myself, blown away by the depth and imaging, even with sub par speakers. This took a while to put together because it's largely off board and I had to locate a bunch of parts that were not included, drill a chassis etc.

The PCB/kit I ordered for myself is a single board with power and the amp chips on one board, I'm tweaking the components and will share it all once I've put it together.

Got the custom wound torrid last week, not waiting on the kit and enclosure.

Cheers

Matt

Wizard, where did you get this tranny from? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?

Thanks

There's a guy "Dexter" on Avforums with a whole truckload of brand new torroidal transformers he's trying to sell.

Wait here they are:

I had a look at those for another build. 35v is too high. 20v will work but may be a little low

I think I will try a 20v. The reality is that 99% of the time we run our hifi at 20% volume

Thanks Skylark. Bought two toroidals from Dexter this evening
