The two alternatives could make a big difference to the stability margins of the amplifier.
The 220r/180r changes the input LTP current. Increased current increases the open loop gain.
The 680r/2k2 changes the closed loop gain. Decreasing the closed loop gain increases the feedback ratio.
Moving both of these in the same direction could turn a stable amplifier into a oscillator, or a version that cannot reproduce fast signals properly.
I can't understand how these two changes came about without an explanation of their effect.

yes ofcourse, here is the revised one. it seems I did make the previous layout in some hurry. as i put holes threre and not pads!😱

nice layout.. i think it is much better if you attach the switch base footprint into ground which is just adjacent to it.
where is the schematic of this psu? i think a version with trimmers to vary output voltage instead of fixed value resistors would be more versatile

The first board is populated.
Here are the first measurements:
operating voltage +/- 18V
quiescent current: 17mA (typically Class A 😀)
offset 4mV,
measured voltage gain: 1
no distortion, nice sine, all transistors are (very) cold

Someone can answer me what need to change for 2x48V AC? Mr. Mile does not want to answer. Thanks!
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Hi, I have swapped the capacitor. Unfortunately everything is exactly as before. I will check everything again and send more measurements 🙂.

Here are the voltages. Input closed to GND.
Resistors are 180R (Emitter BC546 to -V) and 2k2 (basis BC546 to 100u).

Remove 15k resistor... bias must be 1500mA... what is DC offset?
From your measurements look like 820R is 1820R or 15k is 6k8.

15k is removed, 820R is ok. Fets are changed.
Offset is 2mV.
Complete circuit takes 18mA (measured in the power lines via a fat 22R).
regards Olaf
Remove 22R in power lines, replace 2k2 resistor (series with 1N4148 in bias circuit) with 10k trimpot (start with 3k value) measure voltage on 0,68R resistors and set about 1V.
