Hello, Here is my DIY Aleph P. It has one 150VA toroid and separate
PS regulators for each channel. All the parts are of high quality (Riken and Dale resistors;
Panasonic, Elna and Black Gate electrolytic capacitors, Cardas wires, Cardas and Neutrik
connectors..). Gain resistor was initially 680R Caddock, but I needed more gain to run my Aleph 5 and
Audio Epilog Peyote speakers (87dB, 8R), so now I'm using 300R Caddock MK132. I'm still not using it
balanced because I don't have a balanced CD-player, but hopefully I'll get it.
There is still couple of things I will do to the preamp to see
what influence will it have on the performance. That includes: MUR860os rectifying diodes in PSU,
changing the electrolytic caps in PSU from Elna to Panasonic FC, adding more gain,... I still have to
make relay based input selector. Just making myself busy until Pass Labs releases X2 preamp schematics
:)
Aleph P is a wonderful preamplifier. The music is played better
than ever before in my system.
One more time, thanks to Nelson, Pass Labs and diyaudio.com crew
for the support.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding
Aleph P or Aleph 5 projects.
Greetings from Croatia, Boris
