My MOSFET amplifier designed for music

I've found this good project, I'm interested in Fet and MosFet applications.
:)

I've created the spice model in MultiSim of the amp.
Three questions, this is the first.
One is about R27 and the current that flows in D1.
If the value of R27 is 10K the Zener diode is not polarized and IC1 works with a not stabilized DC of about 7 Volts.
In order to have about 20mA that flows through D1 it's required a 1.2k for R27.
This consideration if valid if the not stabilized DC supply to IC1 is unintentional.
It there are other reasons please let me know.

Thanks for the interest, and an interesting question :)

Simulating this can be tricky because "real world" and "simulation" often vary significantly. You might find the simulated opamp draws much more current than a real TL071 would in practice. The values on the circuit are correct for a TLO71 and -45 volt unregulated rail with the zener only needing a couple of milliamps to give a stable rail. The loading on the TL071 output means it only has to deliver a couple of hundred microamps at most.

Ha ha, interesting reply.
This make my further questions not useful.

Mooly's amp

Its alive. With +/-42Vdc PSU and biasing is quite easy at 100mA.
R8 is 1K preset for testing. Will replace with fixed resistor later.
Following days I will test for sound.:)

Thank you Karl.

hi didik
when are you going to update the new circuit on your website.Because you said so !
i am also waiting
Hello Zoltar and Gavivina,
Thank you for your interest on my MP50Di which is based on GoldMund Mimesis3 with minor modified/improvement on bias setting in the differential and upgrade it to run class A. Now I am doing update the article after friend of mind helped me to fix my web which was hacked. During it was hacked, the bandwidth quota was always exceeded, so that I could not do anything.
By The way, Gavivina my friend from Ghana who got already the PCB, how does it sound despite you operate it in class AB ?
Most of Audiophile friends of mine in Jakarta agree that MP50Di class A sounded musical, good staging and depth, power full bass, it even sounded better that the Mimesis 3. -:) :D

Ah, brilliant, excellent job. I like the heatsink :)

(Do let us know what you think of the performance... and don't forget to include a speaker relay delay... it needs it because of the single ended input + servo)

:up:

Hi Karl,
Have hooked up for testing. Speaker protect/delay included.
At initial start up, dc offset starts at about 50 mV and settles down to some
3 to 5mV. Running for about half an hour, the heatsink is only warm at touch.
There is very slight hiss and hum. Probably due to messy wiring.

Playing Jennifer Warns - (Hunter/way down deep), the bass is very precise and well controlled. Rich soundstage and the vocals are best so far. Have built the P3A with similar layout and all is similar performance in terms of dynamic and attack. But this is subjective to my setup, your amp excels in the vocals. Highs are well detailed and sweet. Overall I like it very much.
For a simple circuit, it is worth the build.
