Default Re: Golden Ear Laboratory Amplifier Build

A bit of progress in last few days. I made the power supply umbilicals. All wire is 24/.2mm. So about 1.2mm CSA. I also made the plugs and sockets for the amp and power supply chassis. These Chinese connectors are really quite excellent, YES that's a plug, $10 for a mating pair, around 5 1/2 quid for most of you guys. Err hmm having said that, it's fiddly to solder biggish wire to small contacts, although when done correctly it's a perfect fit so their rating of 5 amps and 500 volts sounds pretty close to the truth.

A few self explanatory pics.

Before any of you jump on my head, the photo "wiring" is to show biggish cable onto smallish contacts. Yes I haven't pushed the heat shrink on to show the fit.

Inside the amp and power supply chassis all the wiring will be laced using WWII lacing cord .
