Excellent work David!!
Holy.. that transformer IS a Beast!
I am very happy that everything is working well or even better than expected
It IS a GOOD feeling isnt it!
As for a next Project,
HackerNap?

I think that the GB is still going, Carl(Hacker) is on holiday at the moment so it hasnt been updated in a little while.
I have put in for a few more boards as I want to build 6 mono or 3 stereo amps
The Nap90.3`s do sound good, maybe a little top heavy at times so Im looking to keep the PRaT but with a little more `grown up` sound!
Best regards
Justin

And of course, and most importantly, there's the pride every time I lose myself in a music listening session of looking at my hifi, and specifically the power supply, and thinking "I made that"!!!
Priceless!

6 mono's??!! One per driver in a pair of 3-ways?
Actually, now you mention it, I used to have a pair of old Naim mono-blocs years ago - 135s I think - and I wouldn't mind going back to mono-blocs. Damn you PFM folk, you give me ideas!!! I always thought that a full powered amp driving just a tweeter was a bit overkill though...
Justin, what's "PRaT"?
And what's a full build of a HackerNap going to cost me (ballpark)??

PS - just checked out the GB post - what are the CAP boards for, and how many do you need per NAP (assuming they're somehow related...)?
*edit* - ah, found the link to the manual and build notes - two CAPs per NAP! ;0)
