Hi All.

I finally finished the A2 211 amp I mentioned in some postings to Patrick some time ago, so I thought I would post a link to some images.

http://www.lurcher.org/nick/images/211/

Sorry the quality of the images leave a lot to be desired as they were from a camera phone, but they give the general idea.

I am very pleased with the sound it makes, Running in A2 seems to have a powerfull character about it, more so than the previous 211 amps I have built. I think I might try a similar idea with a 572b output next.

All TX wound by Sowter, as I know Iain rates them very highly I thought I would give them a try.

Nick, when you have a moment, some pics of the innards
would be of interest. Please also tell us about the Tentlabs
heater module.


Hi Iain,

I have added a couple of inside pictures to

http://www.lurcher.org/nick/images/211/

The Tentlabs units are a nice and simple way of heating DHTs, AC is cheaper, but I get a little obsessive about hearing hum, and I have never got hum low enough to not hear it. I find with my open baffles and sitting position, anything over about 1mv of hum on the speaker terminals is audible.

You can get more details from Guido's web site.
