And... WHAT is hiding behind that little cooler???
Pretty cool build.
Although I feel the notion of class D needing extra cooling to be exaggerated. Specially Purifis they run cooler than nCore, which already is quite cool.
Since you are all out on cooling, may I suggest sanding all surfaces where thermal transfer will occur? Paint/anodisation are pretty bad at transmitting heat.If you had attended one of my kids parties you’d think otherwise. Using all security measures in fun corona distraction.
From Purifi’s doc: ”Continuous output power depends on properties of the thermal system. ”
Edit: Built a pair of nCores 2013, now long gone
Where did you order the case?
The most OTT cooling solution for a Pi 4 yet
Hi.....where do you get the correct pins to insert into the plastic connector for the 220/120 J3 jumper? Thanks.Not in a box yet because I was anxious to just get her up and running, so be kind, yes it's crude and sloppy but it is my first ever DIY amp build. I have the aluminum plates and screws to complete the box, just received the drill bits for cutting the input and vent holes, and so I will complete everything over the next day or two (including tidying up and twisting/shielding all of the cables, replacing the quick connects with ones that are fully insulated, changing out the bare end of the ground wire to an insulated ring, and using color-coded cables instead of the all-green). I most certainly welcome criticism and input from those more experienced who spot anything egregiously out of place.

If you will be using it in a country with 115VAC mains voltage, watch out for getting/making a jumper for the J3 of the SMPS1200 - it is not included from Hypex.
From HDPlex.comWhere did you order the case?
You can get it from Digi-Key (scroll down to the "Associated Products" for the crimp sockets or pre-made jumper cables)Hi Jim.......do you happen to know where I can get the correct pins to insert into the plastic connector to properly jump the J3? Thanks man!

Yes. You can do something like this.So, power connections are now in place in my amp.
Only remaining part is the connection from SMPS J4 to Neurochrome buffers J2. From one connection to two connections. Need to build new ribboncable, is it possible to have three connectors on one ribboncable or are the leads cut in the connector?
Similar to pic but with three connectors.
