Yes I know, thanks to your delivery.

I should wrote if any other types of VAS transistors like BD139/140 are used, than mica insulators are mandatory.

Hi LC,

To switch to 16A output devices, is swap from 2SC3503/2SA1381 to BD139/BD149 sufficient?

Here is HALF the VSSA. It is almost like FETZILLA.
Half the VSSA works well, too.
A little bit more THD(0.007% at 1 Watt), but it behaves well even at higher power output.

For those who want to experiment with really simple power amplifier:

Tell us the differences with the "similar schematics" so we can
understand where are the innovations....

That s the same circuit but with a mosfet output stage instead
of the darlingtons....

Innovations, who said anything about that? Do you see my statement incorrect or offensive in any way? Why should I tell you anything? BTW if you don't like it here, just skip forward please.

OK for few parts more you get VSSA symmetrical amp with, as you've already said, better performance.

I make symmetrical amps only, that's my choice and I will stick to it in the future.

The following statement is not true :

This amp is a copy cat of Gabor s old amp , so just give credit
where it is due rather than talking of "non similarities" that are
just hollow words since you d be hard pressed if asked to find a single difference.

VAS BJT's are more like hFE, fT and Vce max parameters importance, since collector current is only 15mA and power dissipation around 0,5W. So any high performance NPN/PNP complemenary pair in TO-126 case is just fine here.

If Alex won't find time to make one of his probably the most compact PCB here, than I will go for it. Lets make some smokin' VSSA as a

Hi LC i playing at this time with eagle...
First for TO3 as ia had layout for TO3 Lateral SSA. Will show you as it been ended. After it's easy to swap to plastic case.
