Not. The owner’s initials are TO. May you please not post it? Respect for his name associated with the RIP quality. Surely his family would appreciate it. I would not ask someone to improve one of his amps but I would ask if someone could improve “an amp” overload protection. Th u
Recommendation Repair Technician
Can anyone recommend someone who might take on an amplifier upgrade request? Here is the situation.
I have a class d amplifier that I want to keep and use for a very very long time. The original company is closed
The design is so prone to blowing Gen-Fets that most people keep them in the closet collecting dust. The reviews consistently put this class d design as having the greatest soundstage.
It uses an open ground. If the source is not turned on before the amp is then the Gen-Fets blow. This means that the source must use a UPS in our rural power area. If any stray piece of speaker wire touches the close proximity other speaker post or the case the Gen-Fets blow. The fets are becoming harder to source. These are like a Lamborghini built on carbon fiber. Any bump can damage the carbon fiber (metaphor only).
This is not my profession but to further just describe the situation, is a fix possibly to change to a push pull power supply, add a start capacitor or change design to chassis ground?
Anyway, smart people can suggest smart ideas BUT do you know any smart people who also use the soldering gun?
I appreciate you.
