You don't see many 2 channel amps with that stout of an output stage.
Holy capacitance. What were these rated at?
Stupid me asking but can someone post a pic of a gut shot and describe what is what? Would love to have it stickied as well.
Kelvin
Word Kelvin, would love to see a labeled amp gut shot. I'm impressed with amps packed full of caps and neatly laid out, but really don't know what I'm looking at. I know there's some guys here who could label every part, not asking for a tutorial of the functions , or label every lil component....just tha basics would be nice!
The caps are not as impressive as those 4 stout-ass Sankens per channel. Those are REALLY FAST transistors also.
Far left green area is the discrete input stage. No opamps, only discrete components. No crossovers or processing on this. Just a gain pot.
Middle part in red is the power output stage. This is where the signal is amplified to power speakers. This Sanken transistors are the same as those on PG Elite and Zapco LE.
Far right is the power supply. Not certain, but it looks like a switch mode supply for more efficiency.
I have 3 of these although only one is in use. It sounds really sweet running Focal 165 W-RC midbasses.
Not too many like that now.. just straight power with gain without junk in the signal path.
