Unity Gain (AV=1) Zen Amp

LS · 16th September 2004, 12:13 AM

Hi,

Since a SACD/CD player has a typical 2 volt rms output and

high eff.( > 96db ) motors will be near linear Xmax at 2 volts rms,

why not use a unity gain Zen power amp for possibly less

distortion ?

Any circuits out there ?

Uh...the follower one, whichever that one was. I believe there was a push-pull output stage somewhere up in the series. That'll be the one you want. If I get some time later this evening, I'll try to track down the version, but we just came unglued here at work and I've got to earn my keep...
