My build has BD139/140.

There s a dual EF for the VAS so they wont be worse than the BFs.

There s some details to consider, first is that it s an inverting amp, second is unless there s an active DC correction you ll have to play with one resistance or two to set the offset at exact value.

Otherwise this design should do better than -90dB THD at 1KHz, with TMC it can be about -100dB, also, last detail is that two pairs for the OS would be a good idea.
 
Circlophone TIP142

Hallo Joachim.

I would fully agree to Patrick. The F5- and the F5X- build by himself are
different Animals.
Like all Pass constructions very robust.
You will be surprised how good the Amp is playing- i have build one with clone
boards and FQA parts.

Can i warm up you to Circlophone?
I have a pair with TIP142 output on tiny board. It is fixed biased to ~ 150mA,
needs max. 10k input Pot and plays with dynamic too.
If you like i can send it to you for listening test.
Only a 24-0-24VAC 160VA Trafo is needed.
Picture from test.

:cheers: Bangla.

Here are some pictures of what i have build sofar.
The Vanderkoy is complete but i can not make it work without noise.
The Nostagia is complete but is without PSU. The picture also shows the CapMultiplier PCB.
The Elektor AXL frontend is the picture with the veroboards.
