Has anyone had a go at using the Hypex NCore modules DIY? There are a number of firms that box the modules up, but I wanted to use the modules 'as delivered'. There seem to be two flavours, a DIY module and an OEM module. The DIY modules are quite pricey, but apparently OEM modules are available sub Euro100.
I was just about to start re capping my Krell Showcase, and it occured to me I would be doing it all over again in a few years time. The thermal design of the Krell amplifier modules is dreadful, I could actually believe that they are mounted in the case the wrong way up - all the heat from the emitter resistors flows over the decoupling caps, which then fry.
Given I have some time on my hands, I thought I might ditch the Krell innards (they sell for remarkable prices on Ebay, even duds) and replace with NCore modules. I would solve my systems cupboard cooling problem as well. My wife has been rebelling about the fan noise for a while now.
My main question is whether anyone has tried NCore with badly behaved loads? - I have Martin Logan hybrid ESLs where the impedance curve dips below 2 ohms at the crossover frequency, and many amps stuggle with this.
