It's very gracious of the company to give you/us such a deep look into the construction. Man a ton of effort into the build. Us audio heads can really appreciate this.
This company builds some of the best if not the best amplification and pre in the world. Works class components and attention to details unlike any other company I know of.
@kavehsaffari5565 Agreed - great assembly and construction of these components. The Japanese are also very obsessive/meticulous on quality- how would Accuphase quality control compare with Boulder's?
That was very interesting to see the lengths they go to reduce noise and EMI with potting etc. Also, much bigger production facility than expected. Surprising to see there is this much demand.
I hope you also visited AYRE ACOUSTICS and PS AUDIO, both also in Beautiful Boulder Colorado, and don't forget World class speaker manufacturer YG ACOUSTICS , which is 15 minutes away in Arvada. Did someone say "High end Mecca?"
Very interesting. Always wondered what is in those big cylinders. Next time ask what output transistors they use. How they select them. If there made for Boulder or they buy them. I see they use many smaller PSU capacitors instead of a few big ones. Ask about their design reasons for that.
Very good build, but 3050 have only 225.600 uf in total.. Maibe have 4 transformers, but to low capacitors.. Of course it's a very good amplifiers.. BR
