Yes for the xlr connectors and speaker binding posts (although I guess there are workarounds for both).
The Veritas has a thick aluminum slab between the modules.
try copper plates @ 2.6mm (at least) thick, grounded. They work much better than Alu/SS. Ideally CF is a much better material for EMI shielding but those specially made CF sheets are hard to access. They tend to be used on satellites, aircrafts or other military purpose.
Hello can anyone please tell me what the included cable lengths are that come with the NC400/SMPS600 kits?
By my rough guesstimation the SMPS to Amp cable bundle looks to be about 8.5" long (end to end)? Not sure why this info isn't listed in any of the documentation anywhere.
Since we are dealing with pre-terminated bundles I think this is a key piece of information to know while in the enclosure sizing and component layout phase of a build.
Also, has anyone "Shortened" the 12 wire bundle that connects the SMPS to the Amp or is that considered a No, No?
I also find the Veritas to sound better than the NC400s. Usual my system, my ears, etc.
Been looking as a maniac for a chassi for a ncore build, i want a black faceplate 5-10mm thick not the very common silver ones. The only one i found is Galaxy M GX288 but are there others? I want the faceplate to be clear for my own machining.I will start with a single module/power supply but i thinking of upgrade to bridged one is i like it. What size os chassi is recommended both for a slim build with a single module/power and for a bridged module with 1 or 2 power modules? Width, depth, height?
My personal experience is very good dealing with Siliconray chassis in China. Extremely reliable. I picked a chassis Jason used and did pencil/graph paper design for one ps/one amp module. Member TrungT (thanks again!) made CNC program from my drawings, emailed his CNC program to Sr, who now stocks chassis by my name.HtCoz (Robert) might have dual mono chassis, comprising exact same four components as your above described bridged dual-ps mono block. Robert seems excellent to deal with. Alternately maybe you could do like I did above. It was kind of a fun exercise (see thread somewhere in this circle). Warning: you must absolutely confirm ID for base plate prior to design. And you must have all four components in hand to insure physical fit on the graph paper, which will be much larger than 8.5 x 11 for your chassis. I estimate cost for your pre-cut chassis $150-200. Your design is good because it works for everything from normal stereo/single PS/single posts to dual mono stereo/single post (same components as bridged/dual PS mono block/biwire posts). Users could start with one normal stereo amp then later add a second power supply (dual mono), then later still add a second chassis (regular mono blocks), then two more amp modules (bridged) then finally, two more power supplies (bridged dual PS). A continuous upgrade path from the crummy (sarc) lowest cost stereo to maximum NC800BDPS (bridged dual PS). Sweet! I might consider re-doing another chassis as you describe but TrungT or someone else must agree to do the CAD work. Warning: Sr has MOQ of 20, so no sale till 20 chassis are pre-paid. I'll tell you one thing about the Apex Jr. binding posts I picked. There may well be better sounding posts, but I've got huge fingers and hands (like my friend at work used to say about me, big hands, big feet, two of three isn't bad). I tried many different speaker cables and torqued the posts many times. The posts have such huge nuts and so much surface contact area with chassis that the post stays torqued and does not swivel even with heavy use.Best wishes on your project.
Why did Robert stop? Please describe the $220 chassis. Dual mono stereo? How was fit? Did you build it? As per common forum practice, images or it's a lie!
Dave! Where are you? C'min Dave! Post images now or else!
Robert did not say why no more cases, I did get a face plate from him which I saw, was very nice @$30.Dave is taking pics for me but may not have the build complete yet.
I think he just got really busy with his real day job.
