If a Fella was toooooo

Handbuild a Joe King designed White Oak Signature Series Kick Ass Class A/B fully comp amp what would it include??

Thoughts fellers....

Thoughts fellers....

Beeg caps, tied together with big-ass "lee sized" buss bars... to start.. Isolated and separate power for both channels..

 

[laatsch55]

Good start.....

 

[laatsch55]

Wattage??

 

[premiumplus]

Wattage??

~500 wrms / channel.

 

[laatsch55]

AS a minimum yes...

 

[premiumplus]

Monoblock style power supplies, preferably essentially 2 mono amps in one chassis.
Linear power supply. No SWPS. Honest, stiff, linear power supply. It's got to be an arc welder in disguise (and in stereo)...

 

[laatsch55]

Like this?? 700VA, 113 rail voltage, 140,000uf, twin 35 amp BR's, Left channel.....only..

 

[laatsch55]

What about the V/A and input stage??

 

[Northwinds]

I would let you use my amp to try out your ideas hehehehehehee

 

[laatsch55]

This will be scratch built from the feet up. No converting anything.

If it was an original PL 700 amp it would have to have a WO designed backplane and of course it would require a WO light board.

The 700 amp should have all input AC wiring in the same location as the transformer, full wave bridge rectifier and reservoir caps.

It should also have the Lee inspired heat sink for the output stage BJTs.

Squeezing a few more volts out of the rail voltages would be cool. Finding a replacement cap that was 22,000 uF at 125 V or more in the right size would be another good addition.

Power supply is already done. What about the V/A stage and the input difgf amp??

Hi Lee
Is this question targeted at anyone in particular?

Like this?? 700VA, 113 rail voltage, 140,000uf, twin 35 amp BR's, Left channel.....only..

I am surprised that these 0.22 ohm 3 watt metal oxide resistors in parallel on the positive and negative DC outputs of the 35 amp bridge rectifiers can handle the inrush surge current on start up.

The method I have successfully used for current sharing in very high current power supplies is to use wires of equal length and diameter on each terminal of the bridge rectifiers in parallel. These wires act as very low ohm current sharing resistors with a very high surge current handling capability.

 

[Northwinds]

Whoa... that is fvcking badass! ...and your going to fit two of them? It has that "this means business, fvck with at your own risk" look already

 

[laatsch55]

Nobody in particular Joe, just anybody with an Idea!!!!!

 

[orange]

Wattage??

It would be a newborn.

Beins it's a Joseph King design, it might be a little slanted towards you......

 

[Lazarus Short]

Would it be heresy to even consider a vacuum tube in the input stage?
