About possible Babelfish J interest

too expensive , if you ask me

there is a group of cheaper ones , but suspiciously low current capability , for our purposes - at least from quick glance on datasheets

anyway - I believe there is a thread about possible candidates of SIC parts for general Papamps usage
 
I just received my Babelfish J PCBs. They look really nice. Thanks ZenMod. And thank you to my benefactor who donated me the boards and transistor kit. 🙂

I have a couple questions (probably answered somewhere in this long thread).

Can I use IRFP240 instead of 150?

Are these heatsinks big enough?

I am Interested at your Babelfish J
would you please clarify for me
1) choice of j271 Instead off j74
2) Is there a sweet pot - recommended value of rails and bias and output pairs for optimum quality
3) Is this amplifier happy with 6 Ohm and a bit less efficient speakers
4) what Is gain with single ended source and If we have at Input balanced source Instead off single ended what will be gain
5) did you compare with Aleph J
 
1.decent substitution for Toshiba JFets in this application and I have still plenty of them
2.if you read rest of the thread (under 200 posts , that's short ) , you'll find tutorials how to arrange for rails and output pairs, to fulfill your needs; it will keep same character of sound in pretty entire possible span of rails voltage
3.yup; see here : dynaudio | Search Results | Zen Mod Blog
4. 20db in both cases
5.it is Aleph J , Babelfished ; as with all of my Babelfish amps , it's probably even better than Papa's origins ...... if nothing else , it's having more parts :rofl:
