I have never had a good experience with tantalum. Yes they have that clean character (or whatever audiophile term suitable for that) but what I'm looking for is a sound that will grab my attention and make me absorbed into the music. Tantalum is just not it. May be it is more suitable for digital circuitry like the Sanyo Oscon.
but they may have one serious problem, they are not so great looking
Yes they are looking same as cheap bad no name caps........

but their 'specs' may not be 'trust worthy'
I suppose Panasomic's can specs can ...wow, that was twisted
but +3amp ripple current is quite good for a small sized 50V 12x25 cap, no ?
one hatch though, 50V is max
.... just about their outside look

we choose by the looks, from the day of birth
its our nature, no point in denying it

thanks friend
Thanks, many thanks. Do not have it in PDF format. to do with the method of the plate.

TLP627 is opto device remoted by DC detection on OUTput. The whole effect is to shutdown output stage when DC is present.
The design is not fully tested for moment (missing time). Before etching plate are you shure to be able to purchase all matched need transistor in BIGBT module (NPN/PNP and mosfet) but all little and middle transistors too in first stage?

May be in private but at your own risk as i don't want to publish something public that not be tested

Hi Samuel
2N5461 is conditionally acceptable because it could have too low Vgs at demanded CCS current, so cascoded BJT's Vce=Vgs would not have enough headroom to operate properly. I suggest you to use 2N5462 or two 2N5461 in parallel.

Thanks for that info. Might as well order for 2N5462 from Element14 (formerly Farnell) as well as all the JFETs required for Sonya's version of the TSSA.
From stability point of view it is okay as Rf is not alteret.
How do you describe the Sound after some days og use?
What about salas? What do you Think ?
I believe it is better that way: a light low pass filter induced by the lytic inductance is better than any ringing.
And, as long open loop bandwidth and slew rate remains unchanged, we don't need zillion htz of closed loop bandwidth.

Sound is really nice, I think the best amp ever listened.
Changed the feedback resistors to 50R from 100R to have a little bit more gain. Seems better on the lower gain but I am not sure. Maybe try with 75R and see.
