70mW make the temperature of the transistor increase 14°c above ambient temperature. And the rest you already know ... the Vbe decrease the power increase and so on , this forms a positive feedback mechanism. You need to add emitter resistor or similar measure , to degrade this thermal loop.
 
No, Sergio, not you at all.....

However, this is not a witch hunt, I am simply highlighting the behaviour and since this is a very good design (in my view!) I think we should say that. Most of the comments are fine points, I'm confident the sound quality would be exceptional, just like Damir's power amplifier.......

If I connect thermaly Q13/Q15 and Q147Q16 thermal drift is completely compensated. Maybe better to rearrange the PCB, as emitter resistors increase distortion.
 
I agree this is a great design, very similar and sure inspired by sergios designs. I like it a lot.

Michael you are one of the few people that have see my préamp design, so, for sure Damir was not inspired by me :).

if someone besides Damir deserves credits is Keantoken that have intruduce this type of mirror based on the baxandall pair. And as I see it, the heart of this circuit is real the mirror that is very linear.

Yes Keantoken is the one to helped me a lot and I said that in my first current conveyor thread.
 
:) ok. Michael, we have to finish the riaa amplifier, I manage to get a turntable, but with a MM head. Need to do some modifications to the amplifier circuit to accept both types of heads , as I can not invest in a decent MC head right now. It has been a wile the last time I use a vinyl disk in my home, so I am curious to try it again after all this year's. Send me a mail when you can.

Could you show or open a thread for RIAA amplifier MM and MC, I have both pickups actualy two turntables.
