No need to review previous schematics. There have been some potentially minor changes. Attached are the latest.

It would be great to have a pcb only option!

After you factor in how much the cinemag iron and fet's and PWBs cost, out of the asking price for the kit, I doubt the rest of the parts are going to cost very much more.

Cinemag iron can be long lead, you need to wait until they queue up the transformer you want. And the fets are expensive and hard to find.

So, IMHO, don't see a lot of demand for a PWB when you can get a kit at this asking price.

And if you want to use better parts, sub in better parts where you think it would be worthwhile.

Hi Randy,

The thing is that I already have the cinemag and edcor transformers and a couple of jets pairs from past projects. I’m just saying that if it’s possible it would be great. I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation.

F2J with fullrange is the First Watt sleeper…like stuffing Corvette engine into Miata…driving quietly with coy smile on face 😉

BTW…Papa mentioned more than once F2J is exceptional with compression driver

Spill the tea on “T”
