Just a couple watts ya reckon

15A fuse! :yikes: I bet this beast dims the lights when you fire it up. What do you drive with 500WPC? Might be enough for some DQ-10s. :D

one 15A fuse per channel. does dim the lights a bit, even though it's on its own breaker. i was driving a pair of Infinity QLS1s with this amp. pure bliss! now i don't exactly need this much power, but there's more to this amp than power.

Avionic, is it possible to compare it to your M4 in your NS1000 setup?

Arc welder,battery charger:D

I suppose..I haven't had my M-4 hooked up to the 1000's is quite a while.Ever since I built the two ESP Mosfets.The 5002 is definitely a light dimmer.Dims them as bad as my DIY amps do.

Oh yeah, I always forget about those ESP's. Well, mostly I just want to know what you think about the 5002 compared to any amp(s) you're familiar with...and the 1000's are probably more revealing than the 690's. You're the only one on AK besides me, Mark B, and a few visitors who've had a chance to sit down with the 5002, and I'd appreciate a third party's honest opinion on it.
 
interesting

sorry I'm just interested in G/H-class type
hmmm parallel drivers into bases of outputs.
does this have to be excited to the point to trigger secondary rails to set bias and offset. if so must be a pita.
heard that some early G/H class had issues with the primary/secondary cross over points.
no where near that, but I have a Yamaha A-760, which is G-class. Lot of power for small package, sounds great.
It was said that it and its bigger brother pissed off Carver.
Also have a set of Apogee complete amp modules. Just cant afford transformer and protection circuitry right now, but I would love to put them to use. Their arrangement for outputs are
1-4-1-4 , 1 TO220 to drive low bases, 4 low rail, 1 TO3p to drive high bases and 4 high rail 2SA1292/2SC3263 sets, about 5lbs of tunnel airflow heat sinks each.

Final ops check before sending the amp out the door.
Rails dead on at 120vdc
Bias at 6mv
Output power before clipping a staggering 662.8 watts per channel @ 1.0 Khz @ 8 Ω (Recalibrated signal generator with a freq counter for 1 Khz.)

DSOTM never Sounded so good on the ole NS-1000's..:thmbsp:

Heats up the load pack quite well.Amplifiers heatsinks start getting real warm to the touch after 30 seconds

Wow, that is big wattage. Does the big fella' throw out some heat?

wow, even more power now! avionic is a real baller :yes:

during actual playback through my QLS1's (81db efficiency and a tough load to boot), my first 5002M's heatsinks would get fairly warm at decent volumes on material with pretty good bass. i think i had the bias set toward the top of the acceptable range. on this amp with freshly remounted trannys, heat should be dissipated more efficiently, but i don't know what that will do to the heatsink temperature. IIRC, the amp burns about 200W idling, even though it stays pretty cool.
 
avionic, are you also monitoring the input on that scope or is that both channels? i see two nearly overlapping signals. i'm wondering because i need to know if the amp is inverting or not. if need be, i can find out by trial and error.

Only one channel,picture just a little blurred. One photo of freq and one of pk voltage. I can check for inverting.

Thanks for the reply. I'm doing a little amp building and am considering the thermal management, trying to get ideas from reference gear. 200w. dissipation is higher than I'll get with the little 25w./ch. class A I'm building. These monster SS amps are so cool, though. I have a JBL/UREI 6290 and it drives anything I've hooked to it. I'm sure that Avionic's MOSFET build and the Yamaha are even better in that regard. Very cool that Avionic shared the restoration with us, keep 'em coming.
 
Non-Inverting

First photo- Both input and output signals
second photo- freq.of input ( 1 Khz )
3rd & 4th photo -- glamour shots...:D

Minor setback :scratch2: Seems channel B has developed a slight very low level hiss..Isolated problem to the output module..Noisy transistor :scratch2: this is going to be fun. NOT.. Its one or more of these..
