you have a problem with your regs , too wimpy for current nvolved
also , 10K in bias network is way too small , resulting in 5K or so input impedance of OS , further divided to buffer via xformer ....with square of voltage ratio
if xformer is having 4V/V , that is 5K/16 , taking too much burden to small toshibas
so , increase values in bias network

Thanks ZenMod.
I use a similar PSU that F5ha so I don´t think that the psu is the problem. I measured around 165mA for rail. It´s not much
I use 3.3R on R16 and R22 and I measure 0.525Volt, a Bias around 160mA so this is ok.
What value would you recommend increasing the Bias network? Do you mean R6 and R24?

open new thread , give us necessary info and we will solve your problems
post reg schematic , and maybe even picture or two of amp itself

Thanks Zen Mod. 🙂
You are right, I changed r6 and r24 for 20K and.... tachannnnn
Now both rails works with +-15volt and a very stable offset but the Bias down from 160mVolt to 36mVolt. Maybe is a better idea change R16/22 ??? 🙄
I´ll open a new thread tomorrow for share all information/pictures/schematics about this amp.
If anyone has a spice circuit for this I would appreciate a copy. I will need the model for the transformer and the 4N35.
Thanks

Toshiba 2SK1530 / 2SJ201
Completed my M2 changeover
Added Toshiba 2SK1530 / 2SJ201, reduced source resistors to .33 ohms and 0 ohms at R11. Using Tea Bag boards
Power by umbilical cord.
Nice involving sound with wide and deep soundstage. Great detail without fatigue
Highly recommended.

Iq is approx 1.7A
I had to use those Obbigato caps I had in a box 😀
Maybe one day I will replace with Simlic II and your favorite bypass 😉

+1 for the same combination.
😀In my case built on JPS64 boards, with PSU in the same box, and I have a WIMA MKP10 for C2 and Elna Silmic II 3300 µF for C3 (bypassed by 1 µF MKC ERO1860).
My M2 runs with Iq of 1.81 A (Rails at +/- 24V).
Best regards,
Claas

Anyone has a pair of spare M2 boards to sell? Read so much good things regarding M2 on this forum. Must try to build one to enjoy.
I still have a few sets of M2 PCBs available. You can see them in earlier posts in this thread.
Interesting mod, thanks for sharing.
Did you have the SK1530 / 2SJ201 with you or got them recently? if bought, then can you recommend a reliable source?
