A guide to building the Pass F4 amplifier

[Zen Mod]

usual way, when adding optional components, is to arrange them in schematic file in additional pages, so not present of main schematic page

I amn't sure that i understood well...
Parallel parts can't represent two channel configuration.
Different link spacing is another story.

well, it depends of pcb software, in fact, but practically any bigger commercial software package is having that option - multiple schematic pages, you can put whatever you want on them, and inter-page connections are sorted either by trace names or flags

example - I'm doing my pcbs in good old Eagle 6.3

say Babelfish M25 - channels are sort of mirror image

schm. one page one channel, schm. second page second channel

Edcor autoformer shown on each channel

optional Jensen and Cinemag autoformers placed on 3rd schm page

so, no confusion - at least not about these parts

anyhow - I remember at first, 'till I didn't figure out that way, I did draw optional parts (say different size of caps and resistors) on same schm. confusing heck of my self

Alternative footprints showing up as parallel parts is confusing.

l vote for more ZM-confusionism. : )
