637 Amplifiers

Hey, which ferrite beads do you use for your FETs? Are they on both pins except the gate? Anyway it's an extremely nice build and looks incredible. Did you get the chassis from siliconray perhaps?

From your latest schematics it looks like this amp is a tweaked Goldmund clone rather than an OPA637.

Are those really ferrite beads or nylon spacers to keep mosfets aligned straight?

This is Power supply for Amplifier 637

and Transformer 0-58.5V /15 A x 2 ( about 1 VA for One transformer )
And 15V-0-15V for protect .

thanks

after I copy Goldmun Telos 2500 Amplifier, I was successful and not only that, on the basis of development, diy, and little understanding, learning and experience inherited their predecessors,
Quanghao also to design an amplifier with circuit diagram here. Please see

Thanks all

Layout of HQ-Amplifier

and here is the layout of the HQ-Amplifier, and parameters measured frequency response measurements using Tektronix AM 700, invite you to see, thank you very much!

Hi Quanghao,

I'm really interested in that amp PCB but would like you to do them in thicker

Board thickness = 2mm, Copper thickness = 70um
yes 2mm

and possibly gold plating on solder pads

i can not do that,
Thanks

Why not? Is it a cost issue or your PCB provider does not do it?

What about 70um copper thickness?

Thanks

The feedback connection to D3 and D4 makes the stability under clipping very complex and conditional. I can't predict what will set it off but it seems dangerous.

Also, if the Cj of the zeners is significant compared to the 4148's, then you will probably have charge pumping through the 4148's causing some strange dynamic frequency-dependent distortion. Whether this is is perceived as distortion or as some "special sound quality" is another matter. If you flip the D+Z around, it'll be the 4148 that's reverse-biased rather than the Zener, so its small capacitance will be more guaranteed and charge-pumping reduced. The original Goldmund actually does this IIRC, and although it doesn't look right it still works. If you choose to switch the protection back to the output I suggest to put 2 diodes in series with R19 so it's value can be decreased - because with the Goldmund protection scheme the gate voltage at clipping is Vz+Vd+(Ivasmax*R19).
