Sorry -___- looks like dont know how to post smaller pics with the enlargement option.................

I`ve read thru part of the moskido thread, and few others, and there are some good:p:D ideas, and some not so good:p:D but i would like help for some of the designes, i havent seen in those threads :) I`ve made a few modifications to some projects, i have found., but i`m not experienced designer, nor so knowledgeable about suitable elements for the design, i want to achive/make:) So i want to present, design idea by design idea, and to finish it:) with your help :):D
I`ll upload the original design(s) that inspired me, and the resulting one, to polish&finish it without blunders of type "ooooupss i didnt know that":rolleyes::cool::D with your help ^___^
I`m new to spice, so i`ll TRY:rolleyes::D to do something on my own, but dont hold your hopes to much for that XDDD :p


I will start with the design i saw/found in Elektor 1997 september :p:D
This is the tube section of the amp
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

this is the original current section

and this is the modified current section

For cheaper version up to +47/0/-47V i consider BD912 T6-T13 / BD911 T14-T21 with R20-R35=100ohms, and R36-R51=0,27ohm

For better option(and higher voltages), i consider 2SC2992/2SA1216 pairs and MJL15024/MJL15025

Elektor output stage, a bit more complicated than necessary.
My suggestions helped improve the output of this one.

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/sili...7-mosfet-hybrid-hifi-amplifier-kit-board.html

One BJT watches over current sum of two resistors, insuring linear
class A. Makes all that other bias spread junk and CCS unnecessary.
In your modified output, perhaps watch over the sum of R40 R44?

Also makes no sense Elektor got two CCS pulling opposite ways with no
mechanism to insure those two currents are forced equal. It will tend
to pull the cap couplings toward one rail or the other, and huge offset.

----

Just as with Elektor, SR's SRPP still has to drive the full Miller
non-linear gate to drain capacitance of both output MOSFETS.
My BJT bias spreader scheme is only that, not driving outputs...

Elector adds a relay that shuts down output bias, I do like that!
Who knows what happens while power supplies come up or down?
I would surely graft that much of the Elektor to your final design.

I started this thread because i didnt want to bury my posts under 200+ pages of posts in the moskido thread .......
Also i`m gona post some other moskido, and non moskido designs that i have modified, and in need of help for finishing them.
Can someone help me with sugestion about usable BJT-s, R20-R35 best values for the sugested BJT-s, and with boucherot-s network values, because i supose the old ones are not suitable for new design.
And how much smaller values can i use for resistors R18&R19???
Or should i open a new thread i solid state part of the forum???

@kenpeter: - CCS is not a junk, and has a good role i CMRR, and preventing the oscilation in mosfets.

Blind battle of two CCS with no guidance toward center is junk.
You can't tweak both CCS equal and expect will stay that way.
Expect to pull toward the stronger CCS til output pegs the rail.

Choices: Choke to GND, DC couple, DC servo, get rid one CSS, or better yet both...

Prevents oscillation??? How you figure?

Ripple, and all the junk that passes thru PS filtering can cause/trigger oscilations in mosfets. That`s how i figure ^___^ Thats why i put in LM317/337 as an option for higher voltages(the + is aditional filtering) , not only for lowering the voltage + i dont have to change the transistors in CCS, and retweak the CCS because i dont have the knowledge/experience for that.
In this design, i can easily add DC servo between R11 and R12, together with the rest of DC protection.

The link in previous post is invalid now. Here is the new one, and new three more schemmatics :)
All schenatics in this post are UNFINISHED designes for which i need help with, from the people on this forum :)
These is the original starting point design for the schematics after this one.
