So, I've been thinking about a Class-D power amp build ever since I picked up the Luxman preamp. The Luxman is a showpiece, so I want the power amp to not be a distraction - completely hidden from view, if possible.
Been researching the available Class-D modules and the toroidal trannies to power them. Most of them are pretty compact; just need to find a box to put everything in.
Then I remembered that I had picked up this Netgear Storage Central SC-101 at the GW a couple of years back, thinking it would make a cool NAS. Well, it won't, it's highly proprietary, and only supports Windows clients - my clients are Linux. So, it's been gathering dust.
Opened it and ripped out the guts to find that it's basically a nice aluminum heat sink. Perfect for a power amp project. Internal dimensions are about 3-1/2" X 4" X 5-1/2".
Looking for ideas on which power module / transformer to use, keeping in mind that a heat sink will not be required in this box. Will be driving a pair of AR91's to moderate levels, so no need for massive amounts of power.
Any suggestions appreciated.
