Hi AOS members
Sorry I have been away for quite a while developing the new main board, for the stereo coffee kits.
I regularly checked that three words Daily was still going.
I began research into this board about this time last year, and with many schematic drafts at easy EDA, it
started gathering momentum. A final all out effort saw the new printed circuit boards delivered here 3 weeks ago.
D16 though was strangely connected not per the schematic draft, but providence was with me because it
was better as the printed circuit boards had been made.
I am finally soon to send one of these to Marco to enjoy, and perhaps he will let you know
how it sounds. Peter too has already ordered the new kit with remote control , so he might let you know as well, in a month or two
The new board carries some very exciting developments in signal attenuation. On the signal side
as simple and as pure as it can get, just a L pad with a shunt pair and series pair of NSL32SR3 LDR's for each of the three inputs.
As usual contact-less switching of the three inputs.
But on the anode and cathode side much development. the images show a board set of about three weeks ago
24258
A further 12 surface mount components are added under the board, bring the active components used to 45 on each main board.
The main board has its own active rectifier with N channel mosfets in the negative section of the full wave bridge. The board accepts
either 12v AC - I have tested it to 19v AC or as low as 12.5v Dc - great for battery powered and solar panel charging - or a plugpack
regulated at 15v Dc such as the ifipower unit. So lots of leeway on how it is powered.
How does it sound, well I will let forum members progressively comment on that, but put it another way I do not think I have
wasted 12 months developing it.
Cheers / Chris
