I'm stripping my DIY JLH class A to make way for Nelson Pass' F5.

I eventually received the F5 boards from diyaudio store after the first shipment went missing between the States and here. Probably fell into the Atlantic somewhere :roll:

It is still a work in progress but the JLH 1996 25W Class A amp boards are stripped out. The heat-sinks are drilled and tapped ready for new transistor mounting. I will probably fit and power-up tonight. I can't wait to hear it  :winkwink:

Here are some pics of the JLH I made originally

This is the stripped out case ready for the F5's on the heatsinks

The Kiwame 5W resistors are a bit too big for the PCB, They don't make 3Watts unfortunately.
