I commend Dragon1 for the humble reply. Crazy cool chopper! I don’t usually like that sort of stuff , but that’s a pretty tasteful design !

With workmanship like that by the time you are done building this amp you will probably outpace us all! Cheers , happy to hang out here with you !

Re: ODS Filtering Question

A) series caps in power supply , not parallel

B) f&t caps in most circuits are grainy and annoying on the ears .
