about to finally put together a hackernap amp... better late than never!
I have 44-0-44v FE transformer (12V) and 32v-0-32v 300va output stage transformers (from the spares box)
currently planning to use 1M for R30/R34 etc, but not sure if the FE rail will be a bit higher than ideal given my output stage rail will be 43~~44v ish.
I guess reducing R30/34 and monitoring fet temps would be the easy way.
also been reading up about voltage rating of the small signal transistors, and wonder if BC546 are ok at these voltages, won't they see potentially rail to rail voltage in use?
did anyone have good experience for alternatives TR1,2,3,5,6
