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

@auxinput I’ve had good results with the Chinese Zerozone LPS in other applications. It’s a modest gambit to order two and compare to the Meanwell SMPS. I’ll make that comparison and report back.

Nice kit I built the bigger 25 watt class A - F6 you can mods them before you build I put dual dual piltron transformers or a bigger single, 
you can put Vishay naked resistors, in any area 1/2 watt or less which adds 
nice resolution use only 1% resistors ,and Top Belleson regulators , Neotech -0 Crystal copper Teflon wire , for sure buy a Furutech Copper IEC input ,
night and day better sounding then cheap stock tinned input 
and use the New top synergistic  Research Orange fuse
use good caps , brand name poly coupling caps , and electro Lytics 
Swiss Elna, Nichicon gold  power caps. That’s if you want to squeeze the most fidelity out of it . Max it out while you are building it t may cost a few  hundred more but you will thank yourself later !!

Teradak also makes some nice once’s with RCore trannys. Look on eBay!

Wow....that’s a heavyweight mod!

There are some mods recommended for the ACA on DIYaudio that I’ve considered.  It’s nice to know there are some DIY people on here.

@dgarretson - the link to those 24V linear power supplies are just on the border of current requirements (5A).  If you want a power supply with more current, you could look at one of these and ask them if they can make a 24V version.  It would probably come out to be 24V at 7.5A of current.

The Hi Power (Zerozone) power supply is a lot more expensive, but it looks like it uses Nichicon FG caps inside.  The Teradak probably uses Panasonic hi temp (105 degree).
