Apex FH9-with IRF540/9540

Hi,
Completed Apex FH9 with IRF540/9540 withe the following modifications:
Driver transistor used: KSC1381/3503
Reduce the capacitor from collector to base to 33pF.

Sounds nice...
Thank you Mr. MIle, XRK, SK KAchhap and Prasi.
I don't have access to oscilloscope.
Please clarify my doubts:
What is the maximum supply voltage for 4R load with 1 pair of IRF540/9540.
Will there be any stability issues if we reduce the capacitor on collector to base of the driver transistor?
Will there be any improvement in the audio quality if the LTP transistors are changed to 2SC2240?
Kindly reply.
Thanks and regards,
Sumesh

I finished build apex A9 with irf540/9540 outputs. The sound is amazing, tight bass..exceptional imaging.
What is the resistance value on bias 10k VR to obtain proper bias?

Hi

I would like to build the A9 but can’t find any IRF540/9540 from a reliable source like Digikey, etc.

Some help would be great. I’ve got 10 PCB so in case of a substitute I would like the same physical size.

Isn't this the Digi-key link for the IRF9540 from Vishay?

Am I missing something? Is this the wrong part?

Octopart Lists 34 distributors for these parts. Nearly everyone has them. Personally I'm grooving on Arrow's free shipping and 10% off until the end of the year, but YMMV.
