Are Discrete components better than Opamps ?

[lineup]

sorry
my friend,
panomaniac

I missed your post asking.
( you know I involve myself in so many many topics.
3.600 posts since 2002
once i have said what I think I can say ina subject
i move on to something else
-- that's the way i am a bit restless perhaps)


Of course I post the link here.
To me and my other friend's topic.
This topic was started by
a very fast learning! beginner in your own amplifier designs!
Like me he is using Simulation software to check up what looks good.
Before he actually build.

I took his idea - found it interesting!
And we discussed and improved it to very good data.
Very good data, if you consider the simplicity of circuit.

As told it is SINGLE Supply 100% Class A (both mine and jerluwoo amplifiers)
And though simple, it is using two NPN Power Transistors in PUSH-PULL
for better efficiency (=a bit less heatsinking).


Here is jerluwoo topic
diyAudio Forums > Top >Amplifiers >Solid State > My simple class a approach

Be sure to have a look at jerluwoo later version.
He did post several. One after one better than the other
until they were very good Class A power amplifiers.

Hard to say if my posted design is better than his.
They are both okay, I would say.


panomaniac,
can you post a response post in that topic, Please.
Say something, to comment.
This is all I ask from you
when I give you my schematic I attached there.
I think jerluwoo will be happy see someone read his posting


Many Regards
and thanks for showing interest in some of my works

Thanks Lineup! I read the thread. Seems simple enough. 3055s, eh? Hmmm...

I know what you mean about losing threads. I had to search my own posts to find this one again.
