Default I am glad to receive news from you Ekkart.... good that your amplifier

Is working well and that you are making sucessfull experimentation with bias.

Thank you to inform what is going on with you.

regards,

Carlos

Default Tinitus.... unused copper islands are for identification purposes only

Here is an image that may answer your questions about.

A speaker fuse may add more distortion and bass colouration than any electrolytic capacitor. Resistance is signal dependent.

Default I will try to install the supply inside my enclosure..then i will manage to build an

electronic protection..delay insertion, DC detector and maybe overcurrent sensor....i will use something from Randy Slone book.... will build and test, naturally, then will let you know how it works and will post the schematic for your use.

Randy Slone - Electricity and Electronics - book page 278

regards,

Carlos

Default I could not feel difference..but will listen in my normal room and for longer time

Also i will invite my friends to come to evaluate, because i have my own position about voltage regulators (no good) and this may influence my decisions.

Others will evaluate for me..... then i will post results.

For a while, working fine, sound seems to be the same...but i was outside my normal audition room..and could not compare....we gonna see in the next exciting chapter (at least it is exciting for me)

regards,

Carlos

Default Dx Voltage regulator is good...it is huge..you can abuse

Don't you believe me?.....that's good...never believe...ask proofs.

I told we can have positive regulation..means the output voltage increases when you load..in the place to have voltage drops, you gonna have voltage increasings.

Here i am proving what i use to say:

YouTube - Electronic supply load test 5A

Carlos

Nah... the cheapskate bean counters will put in a 220 uf.... maybe 470 if you're lucky. THAT will provide some bass coloration for ya.

Speaker fuses do indeded distort. Pro amps which use output crowbars put the fuse INSIDE the feedback for that reason.

Default Yeah!...that's the way i like it....the thread very funny, people with good mood

playing around...and of course i will contribute with this distortion story.

You see... fuse has a very thin wire..so, fat electrons when flows goes kicking side by side and disturb the electrons flow...some of then felt angry and decide to go back to the source..they do not want to play anymore..this way..we have distortions....maybe because wire without gain, and outside the feedback loop is capturing some microwaves from the universe black hole.

Really...the problem is that people does not use wire with gain.

ahahahaahahah!

Thank you, you are making me laugh.

regards,

Carlos

Default I have a suggestion to reduce power in this transistor

Increase R16 to 220 ohms, as this transistor is working warm when we keep the amplifier working under overdrive sittuation for long time...this is not healthy for this small transistor.....or...substitute the transistor by a BD139... leads will be a problem if you do this way....better to increase this resistance to reduce power from 250 miliwatts to almost 115 miliwatts (aprox.).... this transistor is a 500mW unit.

Thank you Wahab, you have already suggested that.

The "x" marked in red where already removed....but the extra diodo will be helpfull, despite reduces Q2 action.

I am playing, producing destructive tests to see how resistant the amplifier is.

regards,

Carlos
