HdB Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Item: First Watt F6 kitsPrice Range: $300 +Item Condition: New or UsedExtra Info: I'm looking for the F6 kit but mainly looking for those Jensen JT-123-FLPCH transformers, if anyone bought them but didn't get around to building the amp
Full Range Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Buy the kit without the resistors and capacitors at the DIY Audio store Also chassis of your choice At times they become sold out but they return when more are produced - so you need to keep checking or contact them for a time line https://diyaudiostore.com However if you or another member wants an F5 board kit 25 A Class - it's fully populated I have that kit set available
HdB Posted May 14, 2017 Author Posted May 14, 2017 Thanks Paul, I'm a bit keen on the F5 myself and also have quite a 'few spares' here - I even went to the trouble to get some Rhopoints, Koa and IsaB resistors to 'softened the sound' up a bit - the juma input gain stage helped a bit - while waiting for the F7 to eventuate, I thought I might refit the F5 into the F6 and 'do a number' on the P/S. Will ask at the diyA shop for possible restocked kits (they indicate plenty of pcbs) and/or maybe ask Amber what it'll cost to get a couple of those Jensen transformers - I vaguely remember someone designed a shorter, more compact pcb but it's buried somewhere in one of the threads Have you progressed towards the F7 yet?
Full Range Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 My amp trail starts at the - F5 then upgraded to the super specced F6 Now I am enjoying the M2 and it makes my system shine but I will make one small modification when time permits All amps have a different sound signature / feel, but equally all are good if matched to the right system
