Folks,
My Pass F5 amp is ready for power up. It has been a journey over 6 months long. From boards to components to reading over 800 pages of postings on diyaudio to heat-sinks to toroids. It has been a very enriching one.
I am going through a complete double check from PCB correctness to component placement, solder quality, calibration sequence etc. I would need atleast 3 DMMs to set this up correctly. I am borrowing few from my friends to be able to do that.
Will keep you posted with pictures, experiences and finally my impressions on the listening tests.
Of all the things, the most challenging one is the amp chassis. I think I am close to cracking this one.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers.
