hey Specialidiot,

Is there a way you could post the bom for those resistors for me. I would like to follow your lead as much as possible.

Thanks

Sorry, I'd rather not be the source of anyone's BOM, but they are easily found

ok then, I just liked the resistors in your boards. There were lots of boms out there.

 

[specialidiot]

The resistors are Takman, I just counted them up on the schematic and ordered them. Sorry but I didn't keep any notes. I'm a rebel that way.

Gorgeous!! Love the case. I think I will attemp one of these builds eventually... :scratch2:

special:
now that you built one with the Vishay MOSFETs and the Toshiba MOSFETs, which one do you like better?

I built mine with the Toshiba but I'm considering trying the Vishay ones.

 

[specialidiot]

Hard to say dazed1. BUT I have heard Vishay side to side with a Toshiba amp, and I preferred the Toshiba. The issue is that the Toshiba amp had different rectifiers and boutique resistors so it really wasn't a fair comparison.

The difference in the two was enough that I built boards to match the Toshiba amp and replaced the rectifiers with HEXFREDs.

I might upgrade mine to hexfreds one of these days.

Where did you get those boards?
