good evening
What should be the maximum output voltage for the power transformer can be used f5 a voltage greater than 18VAC as drawing on original NP
I think using a voltage between 18 and 24vc before rectification and filtering what should be the bias?
thank you all

Attention le gars : the tension maximale of the 2SJ74 is 25V !
(is ~ 18Vac transformer)
no need to sorry ; it's just fact that we must understand you , to be able to give you proper answer
but - hey - there is always our Jaccolina , being agile in Frenchy just little less than in his Cunnilingua craft

yup ..... safe bet .
thank you very much

You can build the cascoded verion by cviller right now, the boards are for sale in the shop. With proper cascoding you can drive the voltage as high as the output transistors stand (high enough).
Waiting for the new version might last a little as far as my experience goes, especially when you are not able to read between the lines of Nelsons posts.

P.S.: Thank you for pointing out the translator issue, Zen. When I first read the post, I had real doubts of my mind.
I have to add a "and the coscode transistors", they would be the limiting factor. Sorry
Je ne comprend pas que vous avez ecrire!
Darned web translators!
Anybody have any clear idea of what he's asking
it might be helpful to me as well)? 😕

Using V2 boards, you can build a 50w F5 using 2 outputs and a cascode.
2x25v transformer. (2x33v DC) Bias about 0,85A each output leg.
See diyaudio store and Cviller's blog.

My 2 cents
As hi as your heat sinks alowd.
Papa said <I wold not push big ones (TO247) at more than 50 W each >
I had my F5 at 2.8 A (1.4 A each) and 35V or there about rails for a while with no problems.
Just make shure Junction temperature dont go over 75 C then is just heath sink size and how much time and money you invest in the thermal coupling
Red Kerafol heat spreaders clamping methode.
Papa also said that < at higher voltagge they sound better>
I have not made standard F5 to compare as with for 4 Homs speakers I went for big hammer first.
Just get speaker protection for peace of mind.
Bon soir. Not nearly as bad translation as chinglish! At least you give food for thought.
What is writen on the transformer?
Did you measure 21,6 unloaded?
If so, the transformers are 20v ac.
It's Ok for an F5.
Just set the bias to about 1,2A instead of 1,3A to keep dissipation right.

So, at what point when increasing the feedback resistors, say from 2x100 to 2x200 do you have to start decreasing the 10 ohm degeneration resistors or moving up to V grade JFETs? How high of gain have people experimented with? I realize it will no longer be a F5, but I'd like to take this chance and learn a bit more about the inner workings of this circuit.
