Aleph3 biasing question

[victor]

Hello.
I just built the Aleph3,the problem is that i have the half
of the bias current(1A total)at the three output Fet's.
How can i increase the bias current?

Bias can be adjusted by resistor -R113-( 47k originally). The higher value the higher current - at about 68k it should run on about 2,7A. I use in this position the trimpot.

Koy.
How many fet u using per rail and what type?
Thank's.

I have Volksamp modification build - ie 3 MOSfet per rail, IRFP 244.

Aleph 3 with 4 output devices

I have four matched IRFP240s and planing to build SOZ but after considering the cost I have changed my mind to Aleph 3. Since the Aleph 3 using 8 output devices, is it possible to use 4 output devices? It seems I must change the source resistor, but with how much resistant value?

Thank you for any response.

I would assume that you could make the Aleph 3 with half as many output devices. If you look at Mark's Aleph 4 at:

Mark's Aleph 4

He used half as many output devices as the design called for, due to a mistake in the service manual, and it works great for him.

I am not sure exactly what values that you would want to use for resistors, but I would imagine that you would use half the resistance.

Thanks Brian.
By the way, Mr. NP have answered my question. He said the value is 0.22 ohm, same as you suggested.
