    I’d you need an OPA445 in a DIP-8 package, the AP is pretty much your only choice. Does it work with other opamps? Your post makes it sound like it does. The OPA445 uses a standard single opamp pinout, from what I recall. Where did you source the ones you have from? Are they genuine?

    Yes I am using OP27. I bought them from ebay, guess not the best source. I bought from a top rated seller. Logo on opamps are Texas Instruments 
    Only difference between opa445 and op27 pins are

    Don´t know if it matters. 


    opa445
    pin 8 NC
    pin 5 offset trim

    op27
    pin 8 Vos trim
    pin 5 5 NC 


    And on my KSA5 the 500 ohms trimpots are turned all the way down (clicking) then i have 125mv cold. If i am gonna rise the voltage i need to be able to adjust the mv down even more...
    Voltage are 21.7 v with op27.

    Not "very hot" I would think. If you have 35VDC input and app. 22V output you are losing 13V*the current draw of the amp per transistor. IIRC the bias is around 350-400mA, so each transistor dissipates around 4-5W at idle. That should warm up the heat sinks a bit, but they shouldn't be to hot to touch. Have you got measurements (of current draw and/or heat sink temp.?)


    Heatsink temps are around 50-60C, so it´s normal. 

    Have question about the trimpots. 
    Trimpots (500ohm) is turned all the way down (clicking) to get 105mv (hot) .
    Can´t get any lower mv, are they just for if you to run higher mv? Cause no need for adjustment then. 
     

    Thanks

    Measure the voltage before each component . And 15024 and15025? are OK?

    Edit: These kind of problems require patience

    Thanks for mention the 15024 and 15025, i had swapped them around. Now i have 21.8v + and 21.8v - stable voltage ?

     

    Amp is working great, and sounds good.

    Is it normal for the 15024 and 15025 to run very hot?

    If you have 35VDC on the output it means the PSU is not regulating, so something is wrong. Check soldering, component positioning and also the values of all components.

    If everything looks ok, measure the voltage across the voltage reference and zeners (U3/U4 and D1/D2 in the schematic)

    I have checked all the resistors. 

    U3 and U4 have 3.5v between anode and chatode. And D1 and D2 have 12.9v across them.

    It really depends on which resistors were changed. If they gave you a schematic, please post it.

    Edit: found the schematic.

    you can replace the 1k with 10k resistors. The power supply will come up a bit slower, but it will otherwise work.

     

    Thanks for the help. 

    I have started up the PSU and i have 35V DC on the output. + - 70V DC together. Should be 21 + 21 -?  All resistors are correct. 
    RAW  35V DC is just over the rectifier? not on the output? If i understand correct?

    I guess I get the allure of kits from ebay for the cheap prices, assuming the components are a) genuine, and b) decent quality.

    However, buying a kit and then coming on here without apparently doing a modicum of research first is very bad form. The links to Kevin's board files and schematics/other files are here, but might require a bit of digging. Since that vendor supplies both kits and built units (for a whopping $10 more), one might assume that they build with the same parts as they supply in the kit, and it might not matter whether you use a 1K or 10K resistor in the 2 spots. If you're worried about it, then use some 1K for those two positions.

    But otherwise, the appropriate head-case response is...       :tmonk:

    My apology then for using the krell thread. I have read the thread and was just wondering if there been some changes.

    Cause 10k or 1k input for the op27 is some diffrence.

     

    Perhaps i like to solder?
