FAOW

LM3886 is 38 watt's into 8 Ohm load means out of the 1watt category and FAOW challenge :)
Wrong ? Simply not my " cup of thea " audio amp device

... please modify the 120vcc version (keep the 120vcc psu) from 1w to somewhere near 5-6w (i wouldnt mind a bit of complexity if it is the case and keep that pure second harmonic signature)? ...
5-6W at 120V B+ needs rare or custom ~ 500 Ohm SE OT with 200 mA DC bias. I would suggest an easier to obtain 2K5 PSE OT rated for 100mA bias and raise B+ to 250V.

You can use the attached schematic a a starting point if you know what you are doing. Current production Diodes SOT223 input PMOS and Wolfspeed C2M100170D, can be adapted to Rohm SCT2450. 6.55W @ 2V rms input, K2 dominant Neg phase, DF ~ 3.85. Requires 1K/W HS or better per channel. VR1 sets bias, monitor at R1. Increase R1 (up to 6.8 R) if bias can not stabilize at operating temperature.

Please start a new thread if you have questions or need more help since this is OT.

Not that it matters now, but some time ago I had this fantasy of designing a power amp with parts available from Radio Shack. Idea was that anyone could walk into a national chain store and buy parts to make a power amp. They had a IFP510 or IRF610 and a bunch of different BJTs. Never thought anyone would care about an amp with 1 watt. This thread is proof I was wrong again. :)

Anyway, had that thought rolling around my head for a long time. Needed to let it out.
