I do not wanna hack this tread so I have only a short question.

Did you guys here experience a high distortion with a load and low without a load, my circlotron do this, in sim I get very low distortions, that is strange, I think I have to look at the supply but when do set idle higher distortion drops, maybe a hexfet like the irfp460 do not like a circlotron like setup, I can try a other aproach Kaneta did.

regards

What you want to compare?
Distortion when amplifier run with a load and without load,or a simulation with a real amplifier?

I did measure with arta and with a load distortion is high, without load very low, I have a real amplifier tested after simulation, possible because it is a circlotron the trouble is pc card. so have to make a balanced to unbalanced converter or a pc card with balanced inputs.

So I did want to now if there are other things I do miss here.

thanks

Nice work! Great PC heatsinks and perfect for job. Did you upgrade to HV version (63v caps and MJE340/350)? Don't forgot to use silicone insulator pads on transistors and heatsinks.


Hi X, Thank you for your great contribution to this diyaudio thread. I have learned a lot from this forum.

This is the first time I build solid state amp. I really enjoy the progress

About FH9HV version, which pair is correct? MJE340/350 or KSA1381 /KSC3503? (refer to http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/soli...y-simple-quasi-mosfet-amp-21.html#post4823060 >>> it is KSA/KSC, cmiww)

I have ordered 4pcs pcb FH9, for the first pair 2pcs I use BD139 / BD140 like pictures above . And the rest will be HV version. I have ordered several KSA/KSC (and also silicon pad insulator) from aliexpress, but not yet comming. Hope it will arrive soon
