Hi Mile,

I don't think I had ever tried the A40 together with the P30 so this morning I hooked them up. OH MY!!!! Talk about a power house. This thing was rattling my windows. I don't remember the last time I felt bass like that. Like someone was punching me in the chest. I have got to get this in a cabinet. Too good to reside in the amp pile. Thanks for suggesting it.

Blessings, Terry

Nice, I suggest my 'A class preamp PSU' and you get full discrite design.
Regards

Aren't you guys glad I asked? Can't believe no one has asked Mr ApexAudio all this time. I was wondering what it takes for an amp to get past the "I soldered it up and it's now singing" stage, destined for Still4given's amp "heap", to getting a real case with connectors and knobs. 🙂

You have nothing to do with this. I solder up and test what I choose. If you want a completed amp you are more than welcome to do the work yourself.

Sorry - I hope no offense was taken - I just meant that you are so prolific with builds that I wondered what it took for a build to get into a boxed up stage. The suggestion from ApexAudio for pairing the A40 and P30 was an outcome of me asking him what his favored amp was. Of course what you build and box up is your choice.
 
Hi Mile,

I noticed today that I have some offset on the output of the P30. There is no adjustment. Where would I make changes to correct this? The A40 has an input cap so it isn't an issue but some amps are DC coupled so it would be for those.

CFA topology have high DC offset without DC servo circuit, P30 use output cap so +/-1V before cap is not problem. Use nonpolar/bipolar 22uF output cap as Dragan already suggest.

Thanks. Any recommended alternatives as these are kind of hard to get from a regular supplier like Mouser and Digikey. They seem to be availnale on eBay only.

You can buy Exicon mosfets from www.profusionplc.com shipping to US is cheap if you use airmail.

Forgot about Tayda Terry buys 2SK1058 and 2SJ162 from them, I have also bought mosfets from them.
