RMI-FC100, a single stage audio power amplifier

PM sent. Thanks.

Mr. Roender's gerbers are here: post 42

I think, for successful build you must read a lot :)
There is other themes for this excellent amp FC-100.

ZDR custom project seem also looking very good!

Kudos how will sound FC-100 on High Sensitivity loudspeakers with 15"woofer and front loaded horn.... :)
Anybody?

RMI-FC-100

Hello everybody!
I have a question ref. the Idss clsifiction of 2SK170 fets.-
Of course they have to be in the same Idss GR, BL or V classification and matched.
Q. - can I use any classification for input stage of RMI-FC-100 without any changes?
Q. - I understand the BJT Hfe. Is the Idss the same?
Thank all of you!
 
Hello!
I would like to build this amplifier, bit I want to redesign the pcb so it will fit in my case. I want to use smd components where it is possible and I also want to use active components that are still in production. I think that the most problematic parts are the input fets, 2k170. Can you tellme, please what available parts can substitute 2sk170 in this design? 2sk209 wold be a goo choice?
Thank you!

SMD fets have been used as a replacement already, you just need to search this thread (not working for me at the moment)
 
Completely rebuilt mu original FC100, added LDR pre. Sounds even better now:) IMG_6229.JPG IMG_6230.JPG IMG_6231.JPG
 
ITCO:

since I do not know how to add a .pdf-file to the answer of a PM, I will add the drill-template of my FC-100 PCB into this post.

Please compare your version of my FC-100 PCBs with the image attached:
Best regards - Rudi
