Tweedle Dee build

Post by bepone »

Here is presented one build with great result, not so strictly following HADs tweaks of 5E3..

My friends build, with little bit help of me..

Build is around this pcb which i have made few years ago..pcb is accepting NFB to cathode of V2..

PT is DIY, OT is Piemme Elektra Italy, some Dralorics CF and SMA metal films here and there, Koa Speer 100k for anodes..First time used 22uF Bipolar caps for cathodes, like in Hi Fi, and Speaker crossovers :lol:

Thanks for your reply, the PCB looks good. I thought it might have been the commercially available PCB’s.
