How do you get the heat to the heatsink if you bolt to non-metallic insulators? I know there are cases without the heat generated here, but I would be interested to see how these sockets would be used in this amp.

It goes below the heat sink. Mica insulator with compound goes directly between the case of the device and the sink.

Dear friends of everywhere, recently, later that is my regular characteristic I did think about that people do faster than me. I recheck the CSX1 and the CSX2 but comparing with the original diagram that Mr Pass show in the BAF2013, I noted that there are not capacitors on the signal pathway, maybe for avoid DC current in the secondary of the transformer. Later I said to me that in the source-gate polarization of the Vfet there are not current. Is that true?
The other question is, that capacitor is possible to avoid its use or Do we need a different transformer for use without it?
 
dady , as you well pointed in PM , those 220uF (ref. page 3 sch in art_sony_vfet_pt1.pdf) are in signal path ...... at least sort of ;

however - they're not in signal path in usual manner - right ditto in between two amplification stages , but more in role of voltage shifter/path to virtual gnd

besides that , I'm not overly bothered having Elna Silmic 10uF ditto in signal path , in my Papa's Koan M2 , ZMcleverly bypassed with 1uF polycarbonate (Philips MKC)

so , again , sorry - another Brainfart by Mighty ZM :clown:

Trouble getting my VFETS biased. All supply voltages normal. When adjusting the bias with out SITs the lowest I can get is 6.4VDC. This is probably the cause of myself not being able to get more than .075vdc across R11/R12. I think the cause is the output of my bias supply is too high at 19.8vdc. This is too much for the TL431 circuit?

Regards,
Dan 😕😕
