Ooh that's the big, rare variant of the Howard isn't it? Always wondered how they sounded.

It,s a bit of a long story …
Hey that is why I am posting here

Got them yesterday well actually Martin did

Drop them of at my place and 5 seconds later I wanted them
We put on a bit of Charlie Byrd (CCS 8002 ) either cek the number or … the 45 RPM DDR

up and down up and down up and down .... "any reference to the clock work orrange is purely intentional"
and i fell in love

I got a pair of maggies for F. S. (and the paradise) but I have never heard that feeling so good

Things fall apart when listening to Dead can dance The wind that shok the barley (MOFI 2-001)

There is a broken woofer and this is the perfect tune to test for that


At present Martin is in the back bedroom (Toni bedroom) working on it

May take a while for the movies to show You tube need to decide if you little children may get exited

Any way the plan is to do a Martin on the remaining woofer's

While listening the only criticism was from both of us that the tweeters are a bit splashy, metal domes one of which is crushed, so we are waiting for same soft dome to arrive

Time to start a new project



It is going to be a big one

3 box F5 (may not be a turbo)

DSCF2525.jpg

at present 32 X 22mF 40 V PEH200
DSCF2527.jpg
and 4 heat sinks

On those, I managed to get 100 FQA19N20 and already had the FQA12P20, I will fit 4 output devices, as said before it may not be a turbo, as the diodes on the turbo version limit the Bias to around 700 mV and I may be able to push more than 240W dissipation on those heat sinks

First lay out
Buss bar for the ground 38 X 380 X 5
and the 4 buss bar's for the rail voltage's


DSCF2528.jpg

The chokes will be 1Kg of 2.62 mm Od cooper about 5.4 CSA

DSCF2529.jpg

Rough size for now 300 mm wide 400 long 220 hi

DSCF2530.jpg

It is a bit tight but it all depends on the size of the Chokes I may try doing common mode chokes
positive and negative rail's ,2 wires, wound together around the same core
From past experience it is going to be a 2 man job

Nice! Looks like it's going to be a big boy.

Will the tin of Tomatoes add a certain flavour to the sound?
