This schematic look like current FeedBack but with Jfet

the Headphone amplifier

Doesnt need to be adapted, it is current feedback, thats pioneer A9 like I mentioned in previous post, dates back to 1993 and one of the very best amps ever produced. The technology was quite advanced comparing european or american amps. Price was around 8000 US dollars. I dont need to post that one anymore then.

Indeed, THD figures for that amp are very good, Ive got 7 of these amps, 5 see daily use in bars (14 hours a day), 2 spare. They are however very reliable so spare ones are still boxed and never used. Its practically a SSA with hawksford cascode. Output uses Class H circuitry, bipolar and Mosfet.

In fact I would like BJT input as SSA

Theres not much of a choice nowadays anyway, there are no more toshiba complementary JFETs around, the ones that can be used in such a input stage have to be purchased in 1000 s to maybe get 100 pairs matched to Idss and gm.

Yes, it is. Nice schematic. Very clever.
No need for adaptation if this is the pioneer you were talking of. (The shematic i founded with google was absolutely different).
[edit]Why did-you like to change input's JFETs by a BJT ? They have their own advantage (noise factor/bandwidth/impedance)..

[DIGORA]

This schematic ( with 2sk1058 ) could have the same speed as your AMP ?

I have matched 2sk246Y 2SJ103Y

Which one have you asked in the first place, the headphone amp or the Pioneer? The Pioneer is current feedback, but "less CFB" than the SSA.

Same here. And I think the SSA is better than the headphone amp (just use the same BD139/140). The head-amp "trick" to lower distortion has consequence with the sound (tho not easily recognized). It is better using a string of dual silicon diodes like in the SSA. The resulting THD (and offset) will not as low as the head-amp but who needs super long trailing zeros anyway.

Hello Jay,

I pasted this site link to illustrate my request about the SLC

I would like to make a very fast and linear amplifier with lateral mosfet output 2SK1058.

Hi digora.

Go for SSA, which is damn fast, super linear and has large power output.
