OK, one PCB per mono amp, that's clear.
Less PCB-s, less wires, less interferences, the better.
Yep are are we buiding....HP or not HP...then the better we can..the better it must be

Your schematics is just fine according to post #330.
As we lately also spoken about Sziklai/Baxandall input pairs and output improvement, please look to my latest post TSSA Basic 1.4 where all these new features are already included.
I think we have to have each part of three main stages put to high performance and 1.4 version follows that.
TSSA Basic 1.4 - Sziklai input, buffered output
Telepathy present again in this thread.
Yes, we spoke about isolating input stage from the output's stage load current. This additional MOSFET driver would do just that. OK!
In attachment is TSSA Basic 1.4 with Sziklai inputs. Sonnya I think the Sziklai input pairs would be manageable, much more than Baxandall ones, since the input bias current is much more defined Ic=Vbe/Rbe=0,65 V/1 kohm=0,65 mA. Which of them to include in your schematic and consequently PCB?

I now Think i know what you mean!
The buffer has its drains connected. They need to be separated through a GND or connected to the output.
It is fully ok to do it this way. The mosfets are now comparable to a VAS, you just have a higher idle current like in the MF A1 or the "le monstre 8w" (even in the early nineties it was difficult to get the bjt!)
Yes Gerhard, in that way we would have exactly the same power dissipation on pos/neg input compounds. That also means two more resistors to calibrate by measuring and matching both Ugs.
I think it is easier to glue all four input BC-s to the small metal plate, two faces from one side (inputs) and another two faces (Sziklais) from another. In that way all four would share the same temperature, which would stabilize bias and DC offset conditions to perfectly normal level.

Yes agree completely, hehehe I will stop for a while with #374, now it's Sonya's move.
Be my guest. I would not build the 1.4 as p-p.
Check this one.
The input pair will be placed very close. And everything will be placed in groups.
TSSA Basic - Sophisticated Stages
Very good Sonnya, your schematic is OK, only the output stage still to correct.
Look in the mean time (few seconds hehe) I was thinking that buffer stage is one more stage which is not present in post #1, so that would be out of the concept of three stages only.
So I decided that output device must be compound one in a same way as the others are. Output Darlington MOSFET is just the right solution, driver's drain connected to the output.
Voilà, here we have it, TSSA Basic schematic to go for.
