Hi Simon, I have just reread this thread as I am getting nearer to making my own audio cables. Have you changed your design since your last post? All the best Barry

Hi, All good here thanks. I hope you are well too. Here is the text. If you want the file with photos please message me your email address. Good luck. Barry Prologue. The idea of creating this amplifier dates back to the development of the Only Music 3 (OM3) amplifier. Then the plans were...

Thanks!

Thanks. 3D printers can be like hi-fi where the desire for something better can be never ending :) Barry

Simon, Thank you for showing us the detailed construction of your interconnects which I find very interesting. Which 3D printer did you use for the housings? Barry

Great, let me know if your purchasing department can't source any further electronic components

Hi, What size kapton tape do you require? Barry

I have translated the OM2.7 web page from Russian to English (thanks Google!) including the BoM. If anyone wants a copy, let me know.

Sure, but doesn't S-Man's OM 2.7 experience illustrate that it isn't just amp X versus Y. So much depends on the whole build (and indeed the system) and the details therein. Personally I am really keen to hear what exactly made the sound difference between the two OM2.7 builds.

Thanks S-man for the recommendation. I was deliberating which amp to build next and you made my mind up for me I just ordered a batch of 10 boards from JLCPCB for $5 plus shipping (at the moment - CNY).

Here is another build https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/building-process-the-loudspeaker-1.379077/page-26#post-7206955 Barry

Have you seen these...

SMT repair is not a real worry. The company I worked for has been repairing more complex boards since the mid eighties. However if the Spartan FPGA failed (on the PCB in the photo) and the firmware was not available then that would be a very expensive paperweight.

Hi David Can you take some photos of the inside of the unit for us to consider? Barry

Hi guys Thanks for all the messages. I looked at the RS parts but thought that they would not fit. If anyone has spares that they want to sell - just pm me. Thanks again Barry
