Beautiful work. Great test results. Congratulations. I recognize those transformers

I trust they are doing the job?

WOW! Thats an amazing high quality build!!! Can you send me an 11X14 color glossy enlargement to hang on my wall??

Fit ,
Congrats and fantastic job , what was the power output @ 2 /1 ohm respectively ...

regards,

Fix · 5th November 2009, 06:39 PM

@ a.wayne..

Press on the pictures to zoom in, then you can see all outputs...

I have an official PowerCube reading for KSA-80B, will post results tomorrow.
KSA80, have similar effect in 8,4,2 Ohm, and KSA-100 have quite much more power in 1ohm

Hello Fix ,

Yes i did zoom in later and saw the output figures , Impressive ! again great work ..

Here are the KSA-80B Audiograph results.
Done by Swedish magasine Hifi & Musik, 1996

Same as did test mine...

We can see that the KSA-80 have more power in 8,4,2ohm and drops at 1ohm
KSA-100 have more power at 1ohm, and is more stable.
Also if we raise the bias to 625mv, I guess we get more power too..

no,
you get more bias current which in turn means you have more ClassA output current.

john65b · 9th November 2009, 07:42 PM

And all this power beyond the Class A max is all Class AB, correct??

AndrewT · 9th November 2009, 08:27 PM

yes ClassAB as soon as the peak current exceeds the ClassA output current.
For 2.6A bias the maximum ClassA current is ~5.1A and is good for 100W into 8r0 or 50W into 4r0 or 25W into 2r0.

How would one achieve class -A bias into 1 ohm ?
