Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?

Excellent kit!

I have been using one ACA (stereo) with a pair of custom designed wide band speakers with wonderful success.  I’m thinking of building a dual mono pair for another system.

I have been using the supplied Mean Well power supply, but have some interest in a linear design.  As mentioned above, if it’s good enough for Mr. Pass, it’s good for me, so I’m thrilled with the sound.

What speakers are you using with the ACA?  I’ve been listening to a lot of high efficiency/sensitivity speakers and would love to get your recommendations.

@erik_squires , I do not need a response to my apology, but, you create more threads than anyone else here on the "Gon, which is " time ". I mentioned before to you, when do you take time to listen to music ? I " take " at least an hour a day. Enjoy ! MrD.

@jl35 Nelson conceived this as an entry-level kit.. The associated blog reveals that most problems result from bad solder joints. Most problems are remediated by re-flowing the joints. I suggest that you use a magnifier lamp or loupe and solder each joint on both sides of the PCB. The kit has a low parts count and good videos for guidance..

How I spend my time each day, whether or not I'm listening to music right now is zero of your business. Z-E-R-O.

I suggest if you'd like to see audiogon go another way you contribute your own worthwhile threads.

@erik_squires .....I will no longer give my time to you, or your threads....As I do not feel most of them are " worthwhile ", and you are, well, you can guess what I am thinking...............Happy ? Enjoy ! MrD.
