.....

EDIT: Even though you have already done this I would not mind doing it myself purely to satisfy my curiosity and possibly learn something.
Besides that I have a tonne of laterals lying around.

didn't say that you don't need to do it

just informed you that it was made

 

[Melon Head]

Yeah I know it is reinventing the wheel, I just feel like doing it.
I also have some really nice designs that have not been built yet.
Just want to do this for some reason. The Aleph is a classic.

Hi Zen Mod
Have you tried running two identical circuits in parallel. I have not tried it but Nelson mentioned it once and I think Accuphase might do it on their high powered monoblock amps.
I think you are running high efficiency speakers so you probably have no need or interest in doing it.
Something I might try though.

 

[Zen Mod]

yup , I did - with (properly made and simplified) Quad 405 , per their own instruction

decades ago

 

[Melon Head]

You bastard
One day I will think of something you have not tried

 

[Zen Mod]

you're forgetting that I'm old fart

45 is almost whole century

 

[Melon Head]

If you are 45 then you are the same age as my eldest brother so the gap is not that huge.
I have some serious work to do to catch up.

Those must be in metric years then????

naah

that's just 42 + 3

boom

big badaboom

So - for negative bias it would be something like 50 - 3 - 2?

 

[Melon Head]

No it is 97 - 42
You could possibly also use 50 - 11 + (4 + 2)
Or possibly 50 - 47 + 42

I think you have never seen something like this:
Capstan motor instead cat.
I did not put him into this.

[c2cthomas]

No it is 97 - 42

Did we lose 10 in the bias circuit or was it expended as heat in BS stage?

 

[Melon Head]

The BS stage is my favourite

He is very nice kitty kat!!! That monster (the machine - not the kitty) looks to be well used - but the cable harnesses look as if brand new - WoW!!! Man - they don't make 'em like that any more.....

 

[Melon Head]

What do you reckon the insulation properties of cat are?
Probably make a nice capacitor too.

EDIT: Sorry for the bad spelling. That should say catacitor

 

[Gyuri]

Ah, yes, I love them both!

We would have to bring relative humidity into consideration. My cats love the woodstove in winter... not the static fur rubs Here kitty, kitty...

One of our 5 cats could be the twin of Gyuri's.
