as always.. simple circuits sound best, but they may require good household to do so....

[Joachim Gerhard]

Yes, keep it simple AND clean.

[MiiB]

how is the mounting coming along....will you soon power it up..??

Maybe I hear some sarcasm in there? But I cleared (by the people of ATL) to help you identify the current 'best' circuit, it’s the attached one (circuit M in the file).

The MKP's would be fine with me, but my say on capacitors should not be definite

Back from Saturday shopping
New Coldplay CD on the spinner.

I have increased the track size to 2mm
Still using the 5 mm foot print for 100nF Caps
I have added the top layer Ground plane
(This can be tied up to proper ground on any of the pins

For clarity I have removed the bottom layer cooper poor area
And added a few pads for the output capacitors

The only concern I have is the length of the (highlighted) darker track.

Edit time was about a couple of minutes if that so no problems in any changes

On the caps the 5 mm size may be a limit to what is available
If this was 22.5 there are 4 or 5 types of MKP caps available from the like of
Farnell.

Is not trouble at all to make any changes as I said before it is an honour to be here.

PS I could not use color as PDF size is 160Kb If you need any DXF Gerbers or such I will email

Yes that is cool, all high frequency artifacts immediately shunted to the ground plane I am gone order lots of them

[Joachim Gerhard]

I like the layout better and better too. And all done by hand. For me it can be the bigger sized caps. You get them in PP quality.
No Frans, i had a gut feeling that it should be simple. I have nothing against children, quite the contrary, they have a lot of that we have lost and they are honest.
MiiB, i am running out of well matched transistors. The ones from Frans where very good but the ones from Reichelt did not match at all. I have now ordered some from Fairchild.
They invented the modern planar epitaxial transistor so i hope they have some pride left.

[RCruz]

What can happen if I use 27r instead of 33r for the input emitter transistors ?

[RCruz]

Another "noob" question.... In the central area of the pcb we have the leds that set voltage for the opamp.

The leds are identified by a small circle with two triangles in one of the legs... are these markings pointing to the anode (+) ?

[Joachim Gerhard]

The marking is the long leg.
27 Ohm is fine. Noise goes down, distortion goes up VERY little.
We had 20 Ohm in the beginning and that worked too.
