RE: Motor Run Caps for the BB Proof Amp

"* The revised circuit has resistors across those caps to bleed them down when the amp is off - there should have been such a resistance in the first diagram as well."

I was wondering if that was the case.



"* I simulated the power supply in PSUD-2 to check the peak rectifier current and confirm that it is below the rated maximum with 50uF as the first cap. This is because we are drawing only 60mA; if we were drawing the full 175mA max rated current for the 5V4 then 50uF would be far too big a capacitor."

There only seems to be two choices; 45uf and 50uf. Choose you poison, or mine.

I get it. Stick to revision 2. Believe me. I will wait till it's finalized and tested before I order any parts. I wish Garg0yle the best of luck.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
