    7:56: You remind me "Wakko", from "Animaniacs" 🤣 Best regards, nice videos!

    Definitely you need a more powerful transformer for this amp

      Not really sure what you mean; if you mean in terms of current, not really. The amplifier only draws around 2A at full power. If you mean in terms of voltage; you can't go any higher than +/-40V with current signal transistors.

      @SymbolTech21 nah, it's 110mm diameter, 3A secondary winding.

    Hi there
    I have 1 question
    Which one is good for Heat sinks
    1. Anodizing
    Or
    2. Powder Coating
    For amplifiers around 200 watts per channel.
    Please reply
    Thanks

      The coating doesn't matter, as long as the material is aluminium (aluminum). Most heatsinks are anodized; however, I wouldn't use powder-coated as this can affect the heat transfer as it's basically a plastic (polymer). The surface where the devices mount, it'd be better if this was bare (natural); most effective heat transfer.
