[Elecraft] OT: Hi-Fi audio amplifier kit
Hello Group, We all enjoy our kit building experience from Elecraft. Are there any kit manufacturers of Hi-Fi audio amplifier (or related audio products) in US? Of course, I am looking for high quality equivalent to Elecraft. I am just dreaming an audio amplifier kit from Mark Levinson or Krell.

Thanks for all your replies. However, I forget to clarify that I am looking for solid state power audio amplifier kits.

Back around 1955 or so, I built an Altec-Lansing audio amplifier from a kit. Although that company had a pretty good reputation at the time, this device wasn't anything to boast about. It used eyelets to interconnect both sides of the PC boards and many of them had poor conductivity (that technology should never have seen the light of day--I have also seen Motorola and Icom products which also suffered from intermittent eyelets). 73, Bob N7XY On Apr 28, 2011, at 6:10 PM, Johnny Siu wrote: > Hello Group, > > We all enjoy our kit building experience from Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Hi-Fi audio amplifier kit
Yes. That WOULD be interesting. Not since Dynaco in the 70's have I seen a decent Hi-Fi amplifier in kit form. 73, Doug -- K0DXV On 04/28/2011 07:10 PM, Johnny Siu wrote: > Hello Group, > > We all enjoy our kit building experience from Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Hi-Fi audio amplifier kit
Hi, All I know about these kits is that I was reading about them recently, they were favorably reviewed, and I saved the company link. With that disclaimer, the InterStage Mono Block amplifier kit will only run you $3800: http://www.audionotekits.com/monob01.html They have a few other kits, too.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Hi-Fi audio amplifier kit
Plenty of dynaco amps on eBay with complete rebuild kits from Curcuo Audio , audio by Van Alstine , and a few others these two are the best though Sam kf4yox Sent from my iPhone On Apr 28, 2011, at 10:19 PM, Doug Person wrote: > Yes.

I home-brewed a (tube) stereo amplifier from a Dynaco circuit using their transformers in the early 1960s. It was first class, but not up to the physical standards of Elecraft! It saw over 10 years of service in the US and overseas until I replaced it with a solid-state integrated tuner-amplifier. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I have built the Pluto "semi-kit" from Linkwitzlab and recommend it. It is an active loudspeakers with an unconventional soundstage and design, look at http://www.linkwitzlab.com/.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Hi-Fi audio amplifier kit
Be aware that class-D (digital) audio amplifiers like this, in combination with long loudspeaker wires, don't always go so well with amateur radio. Sometimes they radiate well into the lower short-wave range. Unless of course, you turn off the stereo whenever you turn on the radio ...

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Hi-Fi audio amplifier kit
A low-pass filter on the output works well, and is easy to construct if the power is reasonable! A 3-pole Chebyshev filter works well. In the datasheets for these amplifiers there's usually a recommendation to do as much unless the cable to the speaker is very short (ie. built into the unit). 73 de Thomas M0TRN On 30 April 2011 10:48, Sverre Holm (LA3ZA) wrote: > Be aware that class-D (digital) audio amplifiers like this, in combination > with long loudspeaker wires, don't always go so well with amateur radio. > Sometimes they radiate well into the lower short-wave range.
