Mosfet amp or Transistor amp?

[rhythmdiy]

which one is good..? in terms of transparency? I think Mosfet amps are good enough but I would like to know why Brystons use Transistors?

ciao

my idea is swap the standard hybrid
with transistor in input/VAS + mosfet as final

using

2SK170 AND 2SJ74 for input/VAS
MJE15030 AND MJE15031 (8A-50W) AS FINAL STAGE

You know ... mosfets are also transistors...

[annex666]

I think the terms you are looking for are:

Unipolar transistors (field effect devices)

Bipolar transistors (junction devices)

Both are good for amplifiers.
I have built my own using both and had very good results.

Personally I would stick to a tried and tested design.

Yes, both BJTs and FETs can give very good results in a good design, but both are capable of very poor results in a bad design.

start with fet on input 2SK170/2SJ74 are very good

then for voltage gain stage better use 2 big mosfet like 2SK1058/2SJ56

For final stage are better bipolar 2SC5200/2SA1943

Complementary configuration is essential for ideal results

the architecture is traditional but without second current stage



sorry don't have good picture

Stee,
the second stage (VAS) uses jFETs in your posted schematic, not big mosFETs.

The capacitance of a 1058 would kill the mid and treble response of the LTP stage.

thanks

may be is better using a little mosfet like IRF610
or IRFD110?

another idea is a paralleling of 2SK170/2SJ74 (3/4 times)
as VAS...

[Stee]

but need a reverse configuration... to be modern

fet are good for input
mosfet for tension
bipolar for current



(may be)
really final stage have voltage gain too (Drain in common)
