Proposed Fonken Build
« on: 22 Aug 2009, 04:46 pm »
I am considering building a pair of Cymbals for an upcoming Fonken project.  http://www.planet10-hifi.com/fonken.html

Has anyone tried this?  How well-suited is this amp for a Fostex FE127E in an aperiodic enclosure? (91dB @ 8ohms, no crossover)

Also, the cymbal page lists its dampening factor as 5.  Does that make the output impedance 1.5 ohms?  If not, what would it be? 

Last, does anyone have output noise and power consumption figures on the Cymbal?

Yes, output impedance is about 1.6 ohms using the 8 ohm taps.  Supremely quiet, better than 95dB.

That puts the output impedance near the sweetspot for the Fonken. If you find it to low, you can use really skinny wire....
