Personal preference would have larger pads for Q1 and the wire connections.

And maybe Q1 not so close to Q2? Its better to spread the heating points on the sink.

...and the large resistor with the parallel 1uF capacitor locks down the voltage going to the MPSA92 at about a diode drop below the supply...The resistor and capacitor in series prevent oscillation due to the negative feedback. Does that sound about right? [/B]

Actually the current that goes to that resistor is already ''locked'' by the ring of two CCS through the resistor. Thus the resistor's voltage drop is our voltage reference for the regulator.

There is no loop feedback. Its a Zobel that just smooths the ringing by termination.

It makes quite an impressive difference on the simulation, that's for sure.

Indeed. I have shown on posts #20 & 21 too.

Thanks, Gary for contributing with the enlightening lesson!

Hi Salas

Got all the parts, and has been arrange it PTP like the Gary's Layout.

i got question about the tube rectifier EZ81. does this shunt reg retain the claimed benefits of the tube rectifier, such as warm sounding? if not, i would rather just use the sckottky diode that i have in my drawer. it rectify more spare voltage as well that i can have the spare 50v as you recommend.

should i go with tube rectifier or solid state rectifier?

thx in adv

You can still hear the tube rectifier but to about the 20% the impact it would normally have with a passive CLC.
I would rectify both ways and see what happens in a particular system VS the particular tube rectifier. But only by keeping the 50VDC difference in all cases. If you cant have the 50V, go solid state.

hi Salas

nice.. i got some heatsink confusion. attached the picture of several heatsink i got. can i use the smallest one on the irfp9240? the other one is cpu heatsink with fan. then the other one is for 2n3055. thx in advance

thats the board that i arrange with Gary's suggestion layout. haven't soldered them in. but should be find as i am going to prove read it again before soldering.

ops forgot to mention that i plan to regulate 200vdc to 140vdc with around 40mA current consumption for both channels of my preamp.

thx

Erwin,
I don't want to speak for Salas but since I have built the same regulator (but waiting for my power trannie to test it...) I'd say those heatsinks should be fine for your application.
-->see post No 69 for the ones I'm using... (I cut down the first one since )
