IXYS.... Already discovered those myself and used them in a high voltage regulator:)

I have had poor subjective results using Walt's circuits, even though they appear rather cunning. This makes me cautious of his...

I think it will only make a difference at high current. I have other reasons for doing this in the NCC300.

Can't remember TBH. I think they are used in the "Alpha big boy amp", or something like that. I also don't visit that site much, the...

I run my NCC300s with the driver emitters not connected to the output, which is supposed to improve the charge suckout behaviour of the...

They were supposed to have the ease of drive of mosfets and the current gain of bipolars. Tosh had to do some engineering to avoid the...

S-Man liked a.palfreyman's post in the thread Modifying NCC200 boards.
Used a BD437 for thermal compensation: [IMG] Tweaked the bias current with my 3.13kHz oscillator with the amp at 4Vrms output into 7R5,...

It's possible that my Concept 20s were not up to spec, but they sounded very poor. Very dull and boring. Listen before purchase if...

You need a closed case to achieve (a rather slow) thermal feedback loop to TR5.

Ah, only just looked at this. Your amp is broken!!! At the very least TR7 and TR8 are kaputt.

The R26 thing doesn't make any sense - maybe you have some residual charge stored somewhere, otherwise DVMs don't give negative values...

S-Man replied to the thread Avondale Power Amplifiers.
Not quite. Naim has SOA protection and reasonable supply voltages. Many Avondale builds push the rails up which could cause thermal...

S-Man liked ToTo Man's post in the thread Falcon Acoustics re-introduce the Q7 MiniMonitor..
In my room the Q7 had a slight saddle in the lower mids and elevated high frequencies compared to the JR149. The JR149 has stronger...

S-Man replied to the thread Falcon Acoustics re-introduce the Q7 MiniMonitor..
Interesting that the reason that the Q7 is preferred to the LS3/5A by some is cited to the bass response changing the overall balance....

S-Man replied to the thread HackerNAP troubleshooting help please.
29mV across 27K is 1uA which is about right for the base current of the input transistor. I.e. 1uA X ~500 (TR1 hFE) = 0.5mA which is...
