F6 Amplifier

[Rush]

Could the F6 be built with these devises: 2SK82 and 2SJ28 ?
I bought a pair of each a while back and need a project for them.

probably too much complicated , at least comparing to intended SS ones

difference is that your's are depletion mode devices , needing negative voltage on gate (ref. source) for proper biasing , while SS SJEP are enhanced mode devices , needing positive voltage on gates (ref. source) for proper biasing

meaning - for SS , all you need is few resitors , pots and caps

for your's - you need at least one additional PSU rail , more negative than main -PSU

Ill get to it eventually with R085. As ZM has suggested, we dont know whats going on with bias and any tricks Nelson might be pulling. All smoke and mirrors for now.

if you mean on depletion R085 - it's not worth complication , if you ask me

sometime is needed to draw a line in overcomplication

(sez a guy who is Babelfishing Papa's simple amps in something much less simple )

Right on!.

I agree that SPICE doesn't know much about transformers, but at this point I cannot get decent distortion results (less than .01% at 1 watt) even with an "ideal" transformer.

For me not the measured results is the benchmark (particularly regarded the value of low order THD), but the perception sonic results by listening tests at various loads (i. e. various loudspeakers).

More Ideas:
The first both topologies about
http://www.ant-audio.co.uk/Theory/N-...0linearity.pdf
shows a NMOS Power gain output PP stage (common source) and Current gain output PP stage (source follower).
Is this also possible with a passive solution (i. e. by use of a driver transformer, as intended here) ??

The first two schematics are interesting. The second one describes a linear transconductance amp; noting the general interest in this type of amp.

Hmmm. Another misdirection? I think it can do a lot better, depending on the xformer.
