I simmed some 21W as magic number on 2R , while still being in A class ;
let's see that :
wow... impressive.... you awake my interest....
yes friends, i told you, i'm no ss man
Yeah, would probably go with something like an IXTH52P10 or even an IXTK40P50P.
I have a whole tube of 52P10P, they are good.
They match very well with Vishay IRFP150
my Kido (sister's son), living in Miami - came first time after 4yrs, to see all of us in Old Country
deal was - I'm going to make one smaller and not-so-hot amp for him, to bring back to US
smaller - easier to haul in plane, not-so-hot - logically
also made small passive (motorized 10K Alps) as temporary solution, while Iron Pumpkin SE + pair of 12" Tannoys with xovers is planned for next year visit
so, I had adequate 2HE/300 case (not new, back to full DIY recycle spirit), ordered custom Donut with Yank primary, had populated Il Penitente boards ........ everything perfect for few lazy afternoons fun work - ended as luke-warm Babelfish M25
spk terminals NOS Hirschman, can't ask for better
RCA, some generic drek, good enough, certainly better than 70% of gold anodized whatsthats around
rails 22Vdc-ish, Iw set to 40W heat per side
they (Kido and his SheBoss) landed today, and I already got pic of new setup singing
proper amp IKEA furniture already ordered, same as new (all film) caps for Yam NS200MA
yup, Uncle ZM gave him some solder wire, so Viber session for caps changing is inevitable
didn't had any Yank mains solder iron to give, so we ordered nice cheap one from amzn
happiest audiophiles are unspoiled ones, having luck to get some guidance, while really having interest only in music
ZM, happy Uncle

believe it or not, Black Beauty was in that funny box, removed it to mount motorized Alps and its electronic
have another similar box, with 4 channel TKD inside
always handy to have around - proper reference; shattered dreams of more than few Audiophooles with these
though, majority of them will never have own ears, to judge with them
luckily, stopped wasting my time with funny bunch .....

Fugly! Lucky boy, any chance you are open to adopting greedy boyz?
no way Jose
only when I resolve my own status of Eternal Papa's Adoptee
I already think of ZM as Papa (Jr) …he did babysit me through both of my Babelfish J2 builds 😉
His love for M25 keeps making me think I need to try it before I build SissySIT with my v1 boards…or just order more Sissys
I am anxious to get back to amp building, but have been trying to build too many speakers and fixing issues with my sources

some furniture added
Vlad (Tepes) will soon get some nice carpet, to lay on
Yam spks, Sleepers from Yore, through extensive Viber session (Batsch - Miami), got all new block caps instead of fluffy old elcos and whatever
2u7, 3u5, 18u, 47u
as I'm informed, it is exactly as expected - heavy blankets removed from spks
not full photo-strip, just most interesting ones
it was practically first time that my kido nephew did soldering job ...... I must confess - it gone easier than I was afraid

my Kido (sister's son), living in Miami
....... is going to visit us again!, of course lead by his better, smarter and more handsome half, in first half of April; sorta proper gathering after several years, both him and his sister are going to be together in childhood home, for first time in several years
Anyhow, as I promised almost a year ago, this time he's bringing back (to Miami) proper preamp to sit near to proper amp
I've started, hopefully few elements (custom Donuts, faceplate from CNC work) will be in time delivered, so I can assemble it in time
