Hi to all,
for better cooling, I would like to mount the transistors to a central heatsink,which dissipates
direclty towards outside of the cabinet.
Length of the wires would be about 15-20cm.
Any disadvantages from that, like catching noise from the environment?
All the best,
Nak

Hello Russ,
thank you for the advice, I know this mod from this forum.

The whole Buffallo/IvyIII/Placid arragement will be
used to modify one of those tank-like built CD-Players from the late eighties.
BTW the mod is future-proof, I still have spare parts like lasers, motors and gears.

There is plenty of room, the original D/A Board will be removed.
I will also get custom wound toroids for the Players circuitry as wells as for the Placid/BII/IVYIII combo.

But the servo circuits of the player dissipate
a lot of heat as well, even though the cabinet is vented.

So it would be better to place the Placids trannies
directly to the players aluminium backplate and mount a heatsink on the outside, using thermal paste.

Placing the trannies away from the pcb is not advised because of picking up HF-noise?

All the best,
Nak
