bummer
what then I'm going to answer ..... ?
Actually, the idiot question ended in " ZM, please don't yell at me

Thanks Needtubes for IXYS pair references

Due to my disappearance from this 'place' for many years, I am not a First Watt builder yet. This not for long.
In all of my Aleph escapades I've used IR brand IRFP140 with total satisfaction. I tripped over a couple hundred many years ago for very cheap. It's a 100v part that can do much more current than an IRFP240. This with only a bit more capacitance.
For me the P-channel part comes into question...
Has anyone looked into whether or not the IRFP9140 has any strange anomalies?
I know i know - "try it",..... and I will Just wondering if there is any experience.

+1 for the IRFP140 in Aleph. Used it in my "Aleph Single" build, works perfectly.
(Aleph Mini w/ 2.2 amps bias and LSJ74 JFET front end so far, have a 2x20 V transformer on order to convert into proper Aleph, and so I can use the PSU for the M2 also. Based on the experience with my local mains voltage, I expect rails of 24V for the Aleph J, and up to 25V for M2)
But a question here: when I look at the data sheets, I expect, like others before (ilimzn ?), a better pairing for M2 to be IRFP240 with 9140 instead of 9240.
Anybody tried 240/9140 in M2 yet ?
Would anything speak against it ?
Best regards, Claas

I've been gone too long. What is DEF
Thx guys... I won't hesitate on the X140 route for the push pull FWs.
(drazen, i think your heatsinks are too small LOL. Nice amp)

DEF combines Depletion mode and Enhancement mode devices. There's a thread around here somewhere.
edit: found it:
DEF Amp

yes, the whole case was left out of another unfinished project, so I used it for M2, and heatsinks are enough for Aleph 5.
There's been a lot of interest over here in the Brother-of- version (BR-X-SIT).
So, last weekend I hooked up (more like Frankenstein-ed up) my mostly complete and fully functioning M2 up to my speakers for a listen. Ran some music through it, ran some movies/TV through it, even ran some video games through it. I must say, it's a pretty amazing amplifier! I was only up until 1:00am on both Friday and Saturday listening to it. Mr. Pass 
It's all hooked up for now to my PS4 through a Schiit Modi (nice, but a DAC is on my list), into a B1, then driving a pair of Klipsch KG5.5's; currently for some movie watching. I need to, and can't wait to give it a proper listen with some lossless or some vinyl! I'll have to get some pictures of it to post up here soon. Until then I'm going to keep on listenin' and keep on smilin'!
