For sale is a recently built First Watt DIY Aleph J clone.Chassis is the 4U 400mm Dissipante chassis from DIY Audio and HiFi-2000. This provides plenty of heatsink for this circuit. The amp is 18 x 17 x 7.5 inches, weight is 37 pounds. The power supply is a mono supply, like the original First Watts. I used Schottky diodes, and they make for a very clean supply. 60,000 uf capacitance per rail. It is a nice quiet and stout supply. Quality parts were used on the DIY Audio signal boards. See the pictures. Wire used is Mil-spec Teflon coated copper wire. There are both xlr and rca inputs. If using the rca inputs, the xlr must have shorting plugs, as supplied, installed. The sound is pure First Watt, with solid bass, nice treble extension. The amp will ship carefully in a foam lined box. Shipping via insured UPS ground to the continental USA only.
