NAD - positive grid bias amp 2

[justFred]

free software running on $67 iPad 4th gen (24 amps with preamp, output, tone stack adjustments galore...great fun for tweakers like me);
$5 2x100W TPA3116D2 2-Channel Digital amplifier;
Old Fender Mustang I cabinet with leftover VHT 12" chromeback, 10" Celestion G10D-25 and Polk Audio bookshelf speakers for full range, heh, heh,heh...

Yes.

Re: NAD - positive grid bias amp 2

Cool - what are you powering the class d amp with (and how many volts are you using)? It’s not 50 watts per channel is it? (or there’s like a mono mode?)

I want to make a higher powered class d amp but getting stuck on figuring out a reasonably priced adapter that’s not noisy.

think its an old 24V 6A DC supply from a lap top...dead silent...100W/channel....12" and 10" 16 Ohm spkrs in parallel on one and the Polk on the other...

Thanks - I was seeing chatter online about how laptop supplies are noisy so nice to hear they’re usable. Pretty easy to come by and lots of little boards to choose from these days to use them with.

Re: NAD - positive grid bias amp 2

in the event of a tube crisis a 5W 6L6 option is available:



It is amazing how much stuff accumulates over time in boxes, drawers, corners, car trunks...had enough stuff to build a quick and dirty SS rectifier 5W amp....

Re: NAD - positive grid bias amp 2

shoulda not never put that 6L6 amp there...all those "lovely" amp models sound like crap compared to one little two tube amp...SS rectifier and all....
