single mosfet output stage ?

AudioGeek · 1st January 2007, 01:47 AM

ok... i know there has been some discussion about this before with various threads, but here goes again:

see:

i am trying to figure out how they get 20db gain with a PS 42vdc with one output mosfet?

trying different combinations of drain and source resistors and cannot figure out how they got the values.

sooo....

i kinda want to do something similar... but use a 1:1 input tranny then the output stage.

how do i determine the exact resistor values... say using a irf140 as mosfet without randomly using simetrix or similar to find them?

thanks!!!

They use a realativly hi gain FET

A load R of 10 or 11 ohms or so and as small a source R as they can get away with

The amp probably has a damping factor of 1

and THD about the same. Input Z can't be much higher either

Might I suggest a ZEN Amp instead
